Rock of Ages Reviews

LEFT AT INTERMISSION

The actors real tired but the audio was bad the band was louder then the singing. Great effort

WHY DON'T THEY IMPROVE IT?

I've looked at reviews of this show as far as 2 years back and they are consistent. Bad sound, pitchy singing, slow moving, mediocre acting and dancing. Oh and I think the worst part were the musical arrangements! I thought maybe the sound tech was having a bad night but looks like this is a regular occurrence. You would think the producers and backers of this show would make changes to improve it but evidently they must be OK with mediocrity. I had the tickets given to me otherwise I would be pissed if I had spent money on this.

NOT FOR KIDS UNDER 17

I was so excited to bring my fourteen year old daughter to the show to share the music I grew up with. Unfortunately, we left after the first act due to pornographic nature of the show. Girls with just bras and underwear continually bending over, a man running across the stage bare butt, people dry humping an stage, and a video of a four-some acting out just about everything. She was embarrassed and I was appalled. Would have left earlier but was in the exact middle of the row. Extremely disappointed in the misleading rating provided.

CLASSLESS AND TACKY

Marginal singing supported by a strip club level dance troupe....and this was supposedly o.k. to bring a kid over 10 to? The whole show was catering to the drunk 19 year olds in the back row with Sophomoric humor and raunch from start to finish. If you want to laugh at jokes like "camel toe", "Steel Jizz" and "taint" this is your show. or if you want to get front row seats and discover the grooming skills of the dancers.... go for it. This is hardly theater and hardly worth going to see. It was insulting to have this production expect people to "cut loose" to a script that seemed like it was written by a horny 8th grader. Sooner this show moves on...the better...

Glad I didn't bring any kids with me from Spokane, Washington

DON'T RECOMMEND

Since I'm not the type of person who enjoys pornographic material I can't give this show a very high rating. I had never been to a strip club but now I feel I can add that to my list of life experiences. The story and singing were entertaining, but overall I wouldn't recommend this show to anyone who can't stomach live dry humping, lots of strip club type dancing, and girls bent over showing off their g string clad undersides.

WORST MUSICAL YET.

Where to begin....poor sound quality, off pitch singing, bad staging, weak choreography, couldn't hear the dialogue because of deafening base mix in background. How this musical continues to make it to the modern stage is beyond me. My condolences to those of you who have bought tickets.

BORDER-LINE PORNO

Absolutely tasteless. I was under the impression the show would be about rock and roll music, not pornographic behaviour, outfits and orgies. While the band and musical score was fantastic, the acting and dancing was subpar. I hope someone from a strip club was there scouting their next dancers, because they have a lot of selection. Also, the marketing team needs to make it well known that this show is absolutely NOT appropriate for children under 18. You wouldn’t bring your kids to a strip club, so don’t bring them to this!
