Last night Allison and I were guests of the Boch Center Wang Theater and the Rock of Ages 10th Anniversary Tour. We were invited for a pre-performance reception and then were given excellent seats for the show. Opinions about the show are 100% my own. That being said… I cannot wait to see the show again!!
This is the first time I have ever left a performance and was so pumped up to see it all over again. It was fantastic! I was a kid when all of these bands like Styx, Poison, Twisted Sister, and Whitesnake were at their peak. I never went to any of their concerts. Although my sister was a huge fan of Poison and she did go to some of their concerts. She even still has her jean jacket with all the Poison patches on it.
I enjoyed the performance so much. There were songs in the musical that are still some of my favorite songs of all time. I get pumped when I hear Poison’s “Fallen Angel”, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” and so many more! I had seen the movie of the play and it is nothing compared to the live stage production. My favorite character in the play was Lonny (JOHN-MICHAEL BREEN), the puckish narrator of the play. He stole all the scenes with his antics which were so funny, nuanced and sometimes over the top. He was certainly a show stopper.
At the end of the play I was feeling like I had just been to the biggest rock concert of the 80’s and I loved it. There are still a few days left for the shows in Boston and then the tour will move on. I saw that it was coming back this way around my birthday and on the exact date, 10 years to the day of when the performance began the show will be right near me and I am thinking that for my 45th birthday I’m going to want to Rock and Roll all night once again.
