[SingerGal88]

[muscle25ftl]

The amazing Amy Spanger

[Theatershorty]

3:20

who is that? he's SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!

[PetLuvr11]

I believe that is Wesley Taylor :D

[bcrocker33]

i love the way they showed Will Swenson smiling at them. i wish i would have seen him in the role of stacee jax just once.

[shorty94558]

[bananas379]

[broadwaygirl19]

[aasjb4ever]

[preformingislife]

what's with the hand thing at 2:51

[Momo83]

It's the Michigan hand!

[JustinAdamss]

I actually really liked this show.

[somethingswicked]

The guy at 3:19 is my hero. SO HILARIOUS.

[sval1293]

3:22!! OMG!! Great Vocals!Nice Falsetto! Hott!

[adjovises]

This show is a blast! The narrator guy (sorry, I forgot his name) is a total crack up! And Wesley Taylor has the best line of the show...."I'm not gay, I'm German"! We (including two teenage guys) had some much fun at this show -- great music, funny.....you will leave with a smile on your face!

[Stormgazer]

The falsetto guy at 3:20 looks like Mark from Ugly Betty.

[rebelsinger123]

I love him! It takes talent to sing like that! It's the third guy with the angel costume that's annoying.

[detaler]

who's the guy at :32 seconds they show?

[umyaitsnonnie]

will swenson from hair!

[silenceddreamer]

Can we note the adorable NPH action at 4:30?

[preformingislife]

i love 1:35 . when my family and i watched the tony it was sad that i was the only one who got the joke

[monkeysxplaybills]

Wesley Taylor = best part of the Tony performance.

Actually, best part of Rock of Ages.

[Theatrefreak93]

that guy with the crazy falsetto is my fave, mad props =]

[disneysgreatest92]

Totally in love with the dude with the insane falsetto at 3:19

[KHDisneyATfan]

Wesley Taylor

[kittyanimeluvr]

I wholly agree.

[Grune123]

The woman at 3:34 singing, is that a man in drag? Anyone know?

[subwayeatfresh45]

Nah it's a chick.

[Grune123]

Are you sure it sure looks like a man to me!

[subwayeatfresh45]

I'm sure I would more likely say that Liza looks like a drag.

[vincenator2193]

thats a woman

[loulouthesweet]

That's a girl.

[billyxc729]

I saw this on a night that Constantine couldn't perform. His understudy performed. I think his understudy was better than what Constantine seems like in this performance. I guess though everyone sounds worse at the Tony's.

[iwannaholdyourhand21]

u noee.

i heardd this was rlly good.

nd idkk im still kinda on the fence.

the performance hadd its moments.

but u noee some parts gavee me no intrest!

[midnightcoffee26]

i'd been excited for the show for a while but i wasn't 100% convinced with this performance. however, i saw the show this past weekend and it was absolutely amazing. it is so much fun! i think it's one of those shows that really needs to be experienced live. i truly recommend it.

[uscgirl212]

2:22 when that piano starts, it give me chills. i looove that song.

HA my english teacher looks exactly like Liza!!

[SmileyNathalie]

haha. I love Mitch's talk going on there. And Wesley Taylor. I ♥ him so much =D

[tangomarueen]

3:19 amazing

[AnotherMaybe321]

my favorite parrrrt! xD

[18526541]

anybody know who that maybe?

[Rolo8942]

at 3:19,its sexy

[CD594]

That falsetto at 3:20 is insanely awesome!!

[ChrisTroudalebabe4ev]

this looks awesome x's 10

[Katlynn888]

Born and raised in South Detroit; Michigan!!

Only there is no South Detroit. Windsor is west of us. lol.

I found that funny, though. We ARE the only peope who can show you where we live with our hands. :D

-Lynn

[davespy81]

So this may have been one of my favorite performances of the night. (way better than the shit Billy Elliot did. Wtf? Interpretive dance???)

[ImaginaryMikey]

Haha. Although the Billy Elliot thing was kinda werid, I liked it. lol. I also REALLY liked Next to Normal and Hair's performances.

[davespy81]

I loved Next To Normal, I kinda wish they did a different song though... idk They had SO many to choose from.

Hair was pretty good... idk. =/

Guys and Dolls was really good too. It wasn't memorable though.

[christineadorno]

the guy at 3:20 is my fav!

[FridayNightGirl307]

i love him!!!

[DudeB13]

I NEED TO FIND OUT HIS NAME!!!!!!!!!

[FridayNightGirl307]

i think it's Franz but I'm not sure

[photoggirl]

The actor's name is Wesley Taylor. The character's name is Franz.

And Franz isn't gay! He's just German! ;)

[Rolo8942]

i really like him too,hes cool,the gay dude

[theaterlover20]

Who cares if he's gay!! That falsetto is amazing.

[Rolo8942]

[anysing421]

Mitchell Jarvis....Amazing

Constatine...Didn't like him oin AI But love him in this

Wesley.....God Given Voice

James Carpinello...Major hottie

Amy Spanger....My Hero

[xXEmoGabiXx]

HoLy cRaP!!! The part from 3:17-3:22 is the best ever!!! i played it like 24 friggen times!!!! at first i thought that he was playing the role of freddie mercury but i guess he polays "franz"? (whoever the hell that is...) but wesly is totally awesome!!! keep singing!!!!!

[TheOutsidersloover]

[gopgoddess]

"Younasty little...tony nominated...freak machine" :-)

Love more and more everytime I see it

[JRyanReichel]

3:15 over and over and over. Wesley Taylor = love.

[jpsketch03]

I wanna have Wesley Taylors babies, maybe? Yes.

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

LOL

[Littlekitty21]

They me the State of Michigan.

[gopgoddess]

What does the hand point when they say "Michigan" mean?

[CareBlaire]

if you look at a map - the state of Michigan is shaped like a hand...that's how you explain where in the state you're from. :)

[LAFunandExcitement]

who is that at 3:19? freaking amazing!

[SunKissed90260]

I think thats Wesley Taylor

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

THATZ WESLEY TAYLOR =D

[JRyanReichel]

3:18 over and over and over

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

ME TOO!

[CareBlaire]

Rock of Ages totally won me over with the Michigan hand point. Fabulous.

[Conrad0404]

3:18 HOLY SHIT HE'S AMAZING

[jpsketch03]

Welsey Taylor is LOVE!

[norwegiangod2002]

I loved this performance! Better than Glee!

[justjanet11]

i love rock of ages!!

ahh and ive seen everything on broadway (love living in ny) and this is truly the best!

[SoccerGal797]

3:19- LOL!

[Musicalsrockmysocks]

Constatine is a crazy good vocalist now!

[thecrittman]

i know. they totally fixed up his pipes

[cherryducky7]

Nice shot a 4:33

xD

[heyhey88ooooo]

i love the narrator guy

[WendlaBergmann]

I think that this version blow's Glee's version out of the water, but that's just me. I was reluctant to see the show, but when I just tried the lotto one day and won, I loved it! People need to CHILL. It's a show. It's fun. It knows it's cheesy.

[HaydenPFan1993]

So this is were the 80's music goes, into a broadway musical were actors and actresses screw up the music that I LOVE! I hate remakes so much!

[thoroughlymodernally]

Erm...what exactly is this a 'remake' of? It's just a musical that uses music that wasn't specifically written for it. It's called a 'jukebox musical' not a 'remake'.

Also, Rock of Ages is amazing. It will melt your face off.

[arolecek]

Why are people judging the show based off of its publicity? Just see the damn show! Everything is better in context. I've seen the show a couple of times, and it's by far one of the most refreshing and most exciting shows I've seen in a while, and funniest without a question. Learn to enjoy the theatre rather than to criticize it.

[buffymovies]

i really didn't like the performance. i don't like all the voices in the cast. its bad when you hear them do the song and all you can think about is how much better Glee's version was lol

[broadwaybaby1130]

i love the guy in the denim who sings the "everybody wants a thrill" part. i just keep listening to that part over and over again. awesome falsetto!

[SydneyLovesAll]

i totally did too!!!!! my friend and i couldn't stop laughing it was so great. we rewound and fast forwarded about 8 or 9 times when we were watching the tony's cause it was so amazing. his face is my friend's phone wallpaper now.

[chatad213]

omg me too!!! haha i heard that and i was like omg!!!! and kept rewinding it haha its amazing how fast and good he switched to his falsetto

[justjanet11]

WESLEY TAYLOR <3

ahhh i love him.

[rosycon]

What an awesome show...have seen it numerous times and plan on going back!

[lauzziemarie]

Who cares if the show sucks? It's something you can just rock out to and have some fun. <3 Who doesn't love a show they can sing along to?

[Cmet332]

I LOVED THIS PART!

[somethingswicked]

Ehhhhh.....Not that great of a show at all. It was terrible actually. I wouldn't waste my money on this crap. I love everything about Broadway...but this did not deserved to be mentioned at the Tony's AT ALL.

Its a complete joke. And a badly done joke at that. Bland humour. Crappy costumes. Annoying characters.

[bah1138]

So what do you think is brilliant? Wicked? I pity your sad life.

[somethingswicked]

So you pity me because I don't like Rock of Ages and I DO like Wicked? What flawed logic, bah1138.

[bah1138]

I don't pity you because you DON'T like Rock of Ages. Not everyone's cup of tea, guaranteed. I pity you because you DO like Wicked. Which is the dictionary definition of a weakly written musical.

[wickedx716]

Wicked? A weakly written musical?! Okay Rock of Ages is an insult to broadway. I have never seen a show that was so terrible

[wickedx716]

You have no taste for a true broadway musical

[randomprincess919]

everyone's entitled to their opinion, but really, Wicked and Rock of Ages both have good places on Broadway. They ARE both Broadway musicals. I love Wicked because it's original and well-written, but I also love Rock of Ages because of all the classic rock songs put to a story. Broadway is supposed to have something for everyone. sorry, don't mean to be rude, I'm just stating my opinion

[bah1138]

Your ignorance makes me weep for the future of humanity.

[lynarious013]

Constantine is decent. What I've seen so far of this show is just kind of . . . eh. Though the "Andrew Lloyd Sondheim" comment was amusing.

[KHDisneyATfan]

he was really good at 4:17 and I think it will be a good one cuz it's got some of the best songs ever!

[funsizefroggie]

I wanna see this so badly

[HikariDragonRyuu]

So, I saw the show. It was bad, just bad...

[MovieDudeProductions]

f u

[BellatrixNellieLovet]

wow....im so sorry but NOT a good show..... haha

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

constantine is no dancer but i love him!!!

[BellatrixNellieLovet]

Same, i hate this show even but i love him!

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

lol =]

[TsWade2]

Their storyline is disgusting. But, for the record, it's not a bad performance.

[springawakeningisluv]

the storyline is disgusting? how so i wanna see it and so does my dad but could be awkward?

[KHDisneyATfan]

how old r u? it takes place in the 80's and there's strippers

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

CROTCH SHOT AT THE END!!!!!!

[yelanates]

That was exactly what I thought when I watched this on tv. I was like, live tv, gotta love it.

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

lmao=D

[PeterPanDancer]

The girl who sings "Just a city boy...." her voice is really annoying.

[Rabbyadam]

all women 80's singer's voices were annoying

[PeterPanDancer]

Haha. Very true. ^.^ I usually love Amy Spanger, though. In this video, however, I just don't think she was at her best. Oh well. Might have had to do with the sound problems they were experiencing during the broadcast. ^.^

[walshinator250]

Who is the guy that sings "Everybody want's a thrill"? He's amazing! I literally listened to that part 10-15 times.

[jahdancer93]

WESLEY TAYLOR!! he's amazing. lol i do too :)

[COURTNEYXCORAL]

haha me tooo! that part is addicting!!!!
