It was outstanding, enjoyed it. Young man that did the lead was fantastic. The music brought back memories for me. Can’t wait to recommend it to my friends..

ROCK OF AGES ROCKED!!

The story was great, the music and acting was great and the clothing and big hair was a blast from the past indeed!! Really enjoyed this show as did all the audience who sang along, clapped and cheered the good guys, laughed and booed at the bad guys and genuinely had a great time. The Smart Financial Center is a perfect venue for a show like this and all seats have a great view. Not really a show for young children but a must see for everyone else who likes the music or wants to know about or remember fondly that era.

ROCK SOLID PERFORMANCE

OMG! Laughed so hard I had tears a couple of times. The voices were great. The actors were wonderful. I loved the way that even the audience got into it. Perfect ending to my long week. I have told multiple friends about it today. Great job Seattle’s 5th Avenue.

TOOK ME BACK TO MY "BIG HAIR" DAYS IN THE 80'S

FUN! FUN! FUN! Loved the sets, the characters, the clothing and the VOICES! Totally Rocked it!!! The lighting was the only issue; the intensity could be backed off a bit as depending on where you sit, the spots hits you strongly in the eyes.

LOVED IT!!! ROCK OF AGES IN CHICAGO!

Really enjoyed a blast from the past! For $20 I sat in the sixth row and laughed for three hours. Cast was engaging and very energic! My husband even liked it!

GOOD MUSIC

The band was really good and the songs are great. The singing was ok. I am familiar with the storyline, and was a disappointed in the added sexual terminology, etc. Also disappointed in the Orpheum's allowance of late attendees to enter after the performance began. We didn't pay to look at the back of someone's head while they looked for their seat. Having said all that, I would still go see it again because of the music.

SEATTLE REALLY... TOOK THE 80S ROCK BAND OUT OF IT

They figured out a way to apply the liberal #metoo movement to rock of ages, and it watered down the show quite a lot, unfortunately. Having seen it done before, I can say it feels like it really misses the 80s period piece because of it. The singing wasnt as good as other productions of this play, either. This show needs world class singers with experience belting out rock ballads, not indie emo band singers.

VERY GOOD VOCALS, VERY BAD SOUND MIX

Something was missing and a took a bit to figure it out. While vocals were clear and generally high quality, the electric guitar and drums sounded like they were deep in a shoe box. It sucked the energy out of the sound and the room. Someone is deliberately going for this sound and hopefully changes. It was highly distracting and took away from some pretty good performances. Made it seem like Karaoke sound wise.

NOTHING COMPARES TO NYC HELLEN HAYES PREFORMANCE AND VENUE

There are some moments at the belk venue , :) but the stage and set are drastically different from the original show, and the only two characters worth mentioning are the German actors and perhaps Virginia. The rest of the cast is outright high school musical quality and grade. Sorry but that’s how I feel. No energy, no comedic timing , no chemistry amongst the cast, sound quality is also lack luster, it’s just a cheap water down version of one of the best musicals around. GO SEE IT IN NYC . ITS WAY BETTER THAN THIS MONEY GRAB.. i spent a great deal of money and the place was empty in my opinion for a 8pm Saturday show. No worth it. Go to nyc, it’s a religious experience there. In Charlotte at the belk, it’s just not nearly the same as far as talent and presentation. I’m feeling very sad.

WORSE THAN I EXPECTED.

Rock of Ages made me laugh out loud several times - I’ll start there. However jokes like “I have a really big penis” reach down to the lowest level of humor. The plot is so cliche that I found it unbearable to watch. I get that the show doesn’t take itself seriously but it’s embarrassingly bad to watch how forced along every aspect of this show is, including the songs. This show is unique in a lot of ways. So is Bevis and Butthead. I don’t wish to spend time and money watching either.

MEDIOCRE

The movie is so much better . Really disappointed with the singing and music . I expected more from the Fox .

80S NOT SO MUCH

The show should have had a parent warning for children under 18. The drug and sex innuendos and scenes were unnecessary for the plot. I was told that it is a great show but the CLO did not do a great job. I would not recommend this to anybody unless it’s performed by a different group. At best it was a high school performance for the acting. Very disappointed and appalled by Rock of Ages.

MORE LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL PRODUCTION

The rock of ages show at the PAC was a disappointment. The lead actors had weak voices and the dancing was poor. The overall production was very ameuturish and felt like a high school show. The actors added a gay scene and had two strange German characters that seemed to be an attempt at hiding the lack of talent of the cast members. The best part was that are seats were close to the door and we were able to leave quickly.

WORST SHOW EVER!

Script & delivery was in very poor taste. Be for-warned: there is excessive use of profanity - completely classless, embarrassing, annoying & immature. I wasted a perfect Friday night listening to screeching, obnoxious commentary, hyper-sexed innuendos, and poor hairband wanna bees. They should have just played the music! Absolutely Horrible - many patrons left before and during intermission.

1.0 star rating Hanita Kossowsky from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

MEDIOCRE AMATEURISH PRODUCTION

The only positive aspect of attending this show were our seats. The sound was not adjusted much of the singing sounded like screeching. There is so much vulgar sexual movement and ‘jokes’ which were totally unnecessary and detracts from the show. The performance was what I would expect from a high school at best. We felt cheated and left during the intermission.
