I highly recommend Rock of Ages if you are looking for a great show packed with iconic music and plenty of laughs. We went to the Sunday matinee, and noticed our audience was fairly reserved; I believe an evening show would be best to get the full experience with an interactive crowd. The theatre is small, yet comfortable with great... More

A fiancé and I decided to watch the show at Helen Hayes in NYC, not knowing what to expect as we hadnt looked into it. It seemed we were quite young (23) compared to other audience members but then it is based around 80's music! We were second row on the aisle and when the show started and first female... More

If you don't like rock music from the 80's you will not like this show. It is basically one alcohol, drugs and sex infused concert on Broadway. The story is ridiculous but who care! It is absolutely hilarious and I dare you to try and not sing a long to all the classics they perform. I was lucky enough to... More

I saw Rock of Ages with my mom while on a girls trip to NYC. If was the second time I had seen ROA, but the first time in NYC and it did not disappoint. My mom was laughing (as was I) all show long. It was fun, and funny and has a great message to boot. It definitly isn't... More

This is one of the better shows I have seen recently. Music is great and the cast is wonderful. The theatre has the slowest and worst/most bureaucratic admission procedures of any we have experienced resulting in a long and slow line to enter the theatre. The security staff/ushers at the stage before, during and after the performance were extremely over... More

What a great time!. This is the first musical where I actually enjoy every single song. Funny and talented, the cast took us back in time to those good moments we had in the 80s and 90s. I almost felt like I was "Back in Time". If you liked the rock ballads and heavy metal, Poison , Bon Jovi, etc...this... More

I took my husband to his first musical. I thought this was a great choice seeing as how he's not really in to this kinda thing. He had a great time. The cast was fantastic and the music was also! If you are taller than 5"6, you may have a hard time with the seating. I'm 5'9 and my husband... More

Sat in the third row off to the side. While seated at the side, still had a great view. This show is a great time, a party. The performances were great. Lots of comedic lines had me laughing my butt off. A talented bunch who delivered. I'm not a big fan of musicals in general, in fact I tend to... More

Even if you hated the hair band music of the 80's, you'll find yourself enjoying this "hair band take on boy meets girl" production. Very amusing and totally entertaining.
