"Don't Stop Believing" - ROCK OF AGES (West End LIVE 2011)

[PrincessBambiflower]

Amazing cast, let down by the mics. I've to see this show yet, and can't wait and I've seen Simon Lipkin as Sammy in The Wedding Singer and he has an incredible voice. So please don't judge just by this performance :)

[quincy555]

Really, really bad. Saw the musical, which is fantastic. This group of clowns is simply untalented and ruined a great show.

[vette543211]

@quincy555 agreed

[HaNnAhBhAm]

Glee has ruined this song for me. Little auto tuned assholes!!!

[AllyH984]

@HaNnAhBhAm you'd be suprised to see them sing live and sound exactly the way they do on the track then wouldnt you ? 400,000 other people weren't

[QueenOfHearts95M]

Is it any good? Watching this, I think it looks like shite.

[ChayChay0412]

@QueenOfHearts95M its fantastic! 

[dippydai]

@QueenOfHearts95M It's amazing, really funny and full of enegy. I went yesterday and loved it. Very funny, lots of rude jokes and audience interaction. You should see it

[jennifercwebster]

i know oli hes my dance teachers son :) and his wife is lovely!

[crushedblackrose]

In other news, having watched this, I now want to be Amy Pemberton...Mr Tompsett is really quite pretty ;)

[spotoftrouble]

I was there, and literally had a heart attack when he started singing :')

[Answl82]

1:52 was a bit excited

[Msavalon32]

fantastic going to see show tomorrow :) it's a shame Oliver Tompsett is off sick

[kylesschu]

the men in this cast were kinda disappointing. but the blonde..MAD PROPS!

[MOZ1175]

Davychops, you know there was a leg thumping and knee slapp'in, too bad we couldn't see you. You are probably wearing a nice pair of titie-whities anyway! HAHAHAHAHA

[FoxyCowboyBob]

Loved Shayne Ward's "Dead Or Alive"...

Still love Joe McElderry's version of this Song...Simon should have let him release this as a Single..

The entire cast of Rock of Ages is Great...

[Mansdands]

Bon appetit daviechops.

[daviechops]

i would rather eat my own shit then watch that

[JBdaWonderLlama]

Saw this last night. One of the best shows I've seen so far. The little LED lighters are a brilliant idea and make a fantastic pocket torch. If you get a chance you HAVE to see this.

[Mansdands]

Best night out in years. Saw it first night. Simon Lipkin stole the show with his zany humour and faultless timing. Oliver Tompsetts' vocals were jaw-dropping--boy can that guy sing!!!! He was perfect as the lead character "Drew" . This show is the hottest ticket in the West End. YOU CAN'T MISS IT!!!!!!

[cilla171]

The show is fabulous!! Saw it 1/9/11 and have to say that Oliver Tompsett and Simon Lipkin smash it with their vocals!!!!! I was so impressed !!!! Everyone was dancing in their seats by the interval!!! GO SEE IT!!!

[Doctor7865]

Saw a preview on 2 September.

Fabulous!!! Get down to the Shaftesbury

[turbogeek421onPS3]

Amy Pemberton (blonde at the start?) seems like she's trying too hard.

[vicartstv]

Salvo la chica no se les ve muy allá vocalmente hablando... :S

[staceyhelmore]

Loved watching this performance it was great!

[Mansdands]

Oliver's vocals are phenominal, especially in the higher range. He specialises in rock riffs so will be absolutely in his comfort zone. The role of Fiyero did not allow him to showcase his full range. I agree that a month of intense rehearsals is needed to knock them all into shape. Can't wait for the 31st.

[talrulez]

I just think, they still need to work the characters out and polish the act... it'll be great by the time it's onstage, to be sure. wonder how oliver would hold up vocal-vise the roll which is way more demanding than fiyero. i trust him to be brill tho.

[Mansdands]

dramakingdt1 I think you will find that Oliver and Amy are about the same age. I believe they were at Arts Ed together. I know that they are both in their 20s.

[dramakingdt1]

Oliver was a bad choice i think... somebody younger... would've been better. He looks like a Dad trying to be cool singing with his daughter...

[pantsonhisheadkid]

No Justin Lee Collins or Shayne Ward?

[strictlygal]

If it's this good now, I'm sure it'll be amazing by September! Love Oli!!

[Mansdands]

Where is Kerry Ellis the "Queen of Rock" ?. She and Ollie were so great together in "Wicked" !!!

[dramakingdt1]

@Mansdands I agree... Kerry probably auditioned no doubt.

[handofblue]

They hadn't even started rehearsals for the show at this point. Cut them some slack.

[Cece221986]

They will improve... I hope!

[Msavalon32]

Fantastic :)

can't wait to go see this show

[Msavalon32]

Fantastic :)



[Thomas5oclock]

This will be ok by September. Love Olli!!

[wynmoss]

not a patch on Broadway, sorry guys

[BAGibb]

@wynmoss To be fair to them - This was their very first performance - they haven't even started rehearsals yet xD

[beccaharleyquin]

I really want to see this, but this is a majorly patchy performance.

[YuichiTaira]

@beccaharleyquin give them a break they are still in rehearsals, show doesnt open till 31st august. im telling u it will rock then ., i saw it in new york and cant wait.

[entertainer1987]

Oliver is no Constantine Maroulis, but he's still very good.

[jankihorntvedt]

I think Amy (Sherrie) is pretty good! She was amazing in "Jersey Boys" as well

[MusicalTheatre1011]

Goodness this is grim. Terrible. 

[unidan82]

Oli is amazing.... the blonde girl is atrocious... how the hell did she get that role?

[MileyXluvr]

its oli!!

[Sam4G0d]

thank you so much for this :)
