NEW YORK
Rock on: Rock of Ages is
an arena-rock love story
set to the hits of the 1980s.
Starring American Idol’s
Constantine Maroulis and
James Carpinello (Xanadu;
Saturday Night Fever), the
show’s irreverent tone,
slick production values and
tongue-in-cheek humor are
a huge Broadway hit, receiving five 2009 Tony Award
nominations, including
Best Musical and Best Actor for Maroulis. Audience
participation is a must, from
singing along to such hits
as Don’t Stop Believin’ and I
Wanna Rock, to waving LED
“lighters” during ballads
and, literally, dancing in the
aisles. Packed houses are
rocking out nightly at the
Brooks Atkinson Theatre to
classic songs from Journey,
Styx, REO Speedwagon,
Asia, Pat Benatar and more.
The recently released
Broadway cast recording
is a hit, too—it’s already in
i Tunes’ top 10 soundtracks.
Tickets $80.50-$121.00.
