  • Better than Wicked!

    

  • Just saw it last night.

    Was shocked at how damn good it was, and I'm no big fan of 80's music!!

    It put Rain to SHAME.

  • Screw the damn movie i will always be faithful to the broadway show all the way its too freakin amazing

  • mmm...... that's wesley from the addams family

  • I really hate how the lead singer says "I wanna rock"....literally, I felt nothing.

  • @MatthewTS22 Oh my god same. He did nothing with this song.

  • whatever cast you have, this show was a piece of crap. the story line had nothing to do with the songs. the story line was all over the place. they try to save the show with stupid comedy. at 160 dollars a ticket per person, i would rather take about 10 people to the bronx zoo.

  • @ekmieciak1 Good, the zoo is a much better place for you to be...

  • OMG, what are they doing to rock? This is horrible.

  • honestly. this drew seems very ro-bo-tronic. and kind of bores me. but the musical is seriously awesome.

  • it's kinda weird to see supposedly bad ass rockers singing rock and dancing broadway....it's like watching glee!!!!! by the way, liza minelli's reaction is *priceless* in this video. And I think I saw Daniel Day-Lewis among the audience members....oh my god, he looks so amazing with that long hair!!! 

  • west end cast is a lot better to be honest.

  • the worst shit i´ve ever seen... by far

  • @peris666 Better to see it acted out on stage rather than experience it in real life. . .by far.

  • Damn his scream at 1:08 .

  • I just saw this show and I loved it. Got to say though, the West End cast has this lot vocally beat, hands down. Some incredible talent we have in London!

  • I can't stand Amy spanger in what I've seen and heard of Rock of Ages. I think that Constantine guy is quite good but not great. I love wes Taylor. I wish he was singing more. His voice is the highlight for me in this performance. I can't stop replaying it.

  • Comment removed

  • I prefer the West End cast

  • Wesley Taylor can dance.

  • I think i broke the repeat button.....3:18- 3:22

  • these people just made Rock gay im sticking with HEAVY METAL!!

  • can somone pleaseee choke that chicken singing.No talent,No voice No charisma.No wonder they payd tom crusie what ever he demanded to star the orginal show

  • Great!

  • omg i saw Rock of Ages at the Shubert Theatre last night and I have to say that the cast this time was yes, much better looking but they were so good ! <3 I've seen MANY musicals, but this is the best one in so far ! <3 It reminded me why I love acting so much :D <3

  • Wes Taylor though.

  • awesome :P

  • this will probably be the only musical i will ever enjoy

  • Also, the new leads are much better looking.

  • SAw in Houston I WUVED it my fav musical

  • I saw the tour in Philly and loved it!

  • Rebecca is now in Spiderman Turn Off The Dark!Which is kinda ironic cause Jennifer Damiano was at the 2009 Tony Awards when she saw Rebecca perform that night and what you know they both get to play MJ!Rebecca has an amazing voice and Jenn too!

  • Comment removed

  • Just saw Rock of Ages today. The cast changes really made a difference. The leads had such talent and chemistry. Best play I've seen yet.

  • Spongebob...

  • @arielthemermaid8888 NO! NO! NO! >8C

  • I saw this show today. There's been a few cast changes since this aired and I have to say the show is better for it. The two singing lead on Don't Stop Believin' are different and are much better now.

    The show is amazing. Highly recommended. And that's coming from someone who isn't a huge fan of musicals normally.

  • @scottyelf WHAT? the leads are different? Constantine isnt there?

  • @MaryGnzlz No... he isn't there anymore. When I was there last winter, a guy named Joey Taranto was Drew :D But he was really good at it :) loved him! But they changed the leads again.. some guy named Dan Domenech is Drew now...

  • @RockPrincess681 yes I am a Fan of constantine too, but I saw the play last september with Dan Domenech and he is simply amazing. Want to go again next year to see ROA!

  • @beckynet1 Personally, I think Dan Domenech is better than Constantine. I saw Dan at his first show in January and he was really really good. Since then he's only gotten even better!

  • @chsturgill, all the bands have signed licences to use their songs. So much so, that Def Leppard which didn't is being ridiculed at the beginning of the Broadway show. So much so that some of the bands actually came to perform. They're very very happy about the end results and the royalties they're getting !

  • lol @ CHSTURGILL, you are ridiculous, all the bands had to sign the rights of their songs to be showcased in this musical. So I'm pretty sure they're fine with it. And BTW, this is an amazing show, saw it once, and I'm going again in November

  • Wow. What a sin to ruin such awesome music with that fluffy stuff. Those bands have to be gritting their teeth when they hear their music performed and showcased like this. I don't even think the royalties from this could touch how they castrated classic rock n roll. I thought it might be cool when I heard about this show. Now all I can do is cringe at this desecration.

  • @chsturgill wow, so emo lol

  • wow i just saw the show tonight and have to say that the west end cast makes them look silly

  • @MrJustcauseiwantto it's supposed to be silly. It's not a serious show

  • @MrJustcauseiwantto

    Really??? I've only watched the singing performances online but I thought it sounded like the West end cast were far superior, vocally. But I've not seen either the west end or broadway yet.

  • "And I decent amount of hair" *Cut to Will Swenson*.  LOVE IT. :-D

  • shoot me now

    ps.this is comeing from a rock fan

  • you suck. looking for a bumper sticker?

  • I watch wesleys part over and over

  • Oh the musical it never ends

  • Have to say the aussie cast kicks arse over that one

  • its about time that some classic rock hits the stage again... maybe some of the younger generations will stop listening to ignorant music like rap and hip hop...

  • I hate to be bitchy, but I can't help but notice how why Constantine didn't win American Idol. He just ruined this for me.

  • 0:19 KEITH STONE!

  • wesleys part has been raped by my computer mouse :DDDDD i can't help but smile!!!!!

  • Smoooth, like keith stone

  • Whoa is that Daniel Day Lewis or Jim Caviziel at 0:32?

  • WESLEY TAYLOR!!!!!!

  • ugh... i couldn't get off this page quick enough!

  • OH MY GOSH WESLEY IM IN LOVE WITH YOU <3<3

  • oh, Liza <3

  • can you get this show on cd...

  • @pikeybot Yes you can! I bought it, it's the original Broadway Cast Recording. I went to see it in Australia and they had it for sale at the merchandise area. :)

  • @sheridanbroadway did you see it in melbourne??

  • kostas maroulis makes greek people proud!!!

  • wesley/everybody wants a thrill=best sound ive ever heard from a human.

  • First Picture of Tom Cruise in the Rock of Ages Movie is out -> movieparasite.de

  • Antoinette would have been proud you think? gleecopy

  • fifi show

  • this is the start of the pussification of america

  • Musicals suck because the feminized-gay have spoken for the metalized-gay and this bastardization of metal will not stand. This bastardization of metal will not stand, man.

  • @parafleet you need help lol

  • i get chills every time a see a broadway performance..gotta love them

  • After seeing this show live, every time I hear "Don't Stop Believing" I have to do the "MICHIGAN!"

  • @UberCathal me too! I did that once at a publice gathering...not a good thing to do aroound people who don't know about brooadway

  • @UberCathal i thought i was the only one that did that....lol

  • Best. Musical. EVER!!!!! :D I wouldnt take little kids to go see it, but for everybody else its absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! <3

  • Best play EVER!!!!!!! That is more a concert than a play , but it was AMAZING

  • Is it just me or were the 2009 tonys the BEST? last year's, especially, was disappointing. but this performance BLEW ME AWAY! haha wesley :P

  • Barney Stinson fistbumping at 4:28

  • I boyfriend hates musicals and i had to drag him to see it, needless to say he was entertained and blown away, he loved it. Great show!

  • what is rock of ages about??

  • Jack Black should do this! !

  • 3:19 Wesley I love you so much!!!!

  • Am I the only one that can see Jack Black in this?

  • @72BlackonBlack  No offense but Jack Black would be to over the top for this.

  • I'm gonna be on this show. I need to be on this show. I will be on this show someday. I promise.

  • why is everyone gay ? -_-

  • They just added Brian Cranston to the cast of the film version, which is shaping up to be a superb film.

  • wtf is this shit!!!!!!!!

  • @isaimcbreinguitar The most epic musical ever! Look in the mirror, and you should have a better definition of shit...

  • CHECK OUT JOEL FROM TSO!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS!

  • I can't wait for this to come to DC. I love how Liza seems to pop up in videos everywhere, she's such a fox haha :)

  • Comment removed

  • Well that depends, are you talking about 'early' Def Leppard (pre 83') or the 'later' Def Leppard. If your talking about the later Def Leppard then they didn't just SUX, they SUXED ASS!

  • very nice

  • HAHAHA!!!! Mitch called Liza a freak machine!! Hilarious!!!

  • I just saw this show this afternoon in Indy! Best show ever I can't even explain it!! I saw Constantine backstage and outside, I got pictures, SO HOT! lol

  • @cheersingluv95 I saw it this week in Des Moines and met constantine backstage and I agree SO HOT!

  • @MissSara121 I went to the Des Moines show too AMAZING!! Laughed so hard I was practically bawling the whole time lol!

  • I just saw this show a few hours ago...this isn't 80's, they didn't even play Def Leppard's Rock of Ages, it was so overdone, why did they even do this? can somebody tell me. TELL ME WHY! I DEMAND ANSWERS!

  • @ultrachasersfan Did you not listen to the introduction to the the show? Def Leppard didn't give them rights to play thier songs.

  • @wookieelover They never mentioned Def Leppard, I would of remembered. They should of played Rock of Ages. JUST PLAY ROCK OF AGES!!! and it's not just that they didn't play Rock of Ages (the Def Leppard song) but the musical Rock of Ages......SUCKED! It may of been better had they played Rock of Ages (the Def Leppard song of course)

  • @ultrachasersfan ...Except for one tiny detail: Leppard SUX!!

  • I saw this a few days ago in San Francisco; this rendition does no justice to the live version.

  • Omg i love this show..i watch it uesterday FRONT ROW its beautiful..MUST SEE

  • why do women on broadway always end up wearing slut-wear

  • I just saw 'Rock of Ages' two days ago in SF. Loved it

  • @Thalia38 I saw it two weeks ago. It was so much fun! I'd defenitely recommend it to anyone

  • Broadway AND Hollywood now officially have NO IDEAS LEFT. Recycling 50 year old plays and nearly killing people in Spiderman. And thats just B'dway! Hollywood is a different story. Ever go through all the movies in your ON-Demand list only to realize that after combing through over 200 titles there isnt 1 effin movie you really wanna see? Welcome to hollywood..the dumbing down of american culture and art continued by assholes in $1000 suitswith Business degrees making creative decisions. SAD.

  • this is

    

  • the most amazing musical

  • This is far and away my favorite musical. Great show.

  • The girl on the right of Amy at the end slipped if anyone noticed haha.

  • @tappentiggerer haha its a guy! thats great

  • the touring cast that i saw in LA i feel were much better than this cast... this was just kind of ok... even constantine was better than this when i saw him!

  • anyone else see the guy on the left bail at 4:27

  • Con, you did an awesome job...Love it!!

  • Who the hell are these people?

  • If you get the chance...RUN to see this show. My husband & I saw it last night at "The Curran" in San Francisco & were blown away! HUGE talent across the board. Cool choreography,outrageous musical arrangements,humor and a good story...This show (IMHO), has it all! Rockers of the 80's unite!

  • THEY HAVE THE LIGHTERS TOO!

  • I love Liza a 1:50

  • Plus I love Liza at 2:06

  • I saw Constantine Morales on tour and he was better than in this video. It doesn't do him justice.

  • Tonies>Oscars. Just sayin'.

  • Happened to see a small group of these guys who showed up last night at House of Blues and gave us an incredible private show! Incredible!

  • I'm going to go see this tonight. I'm so stoked, but I'm also a little bummed that Wesley isn't on the tour.

  • i kept rewinding wesleys part XD

  • @sambam1467 me too!

  • i dont like the way he says rock. But not a bad performance

  • Random shot of NPH chillin in the audience at 4:29? Hahahah

  • I have seen this fantastic show last summer, when i went to NY, at Broadway...Amazing!

  • Wow...sorry you all had such a bad experience. ROA came to Detroit in November 2010 w/ Rebbeca Faulkenberry playing Sherrie and MiG Ayesa playing Stacee Jaxx and it was awesome! It was a great show and I don't think anyone sat down the whole performance. I hope they come back again....I'd definately go see it twice!!

  • Just saw it and fucking serious, the guy can sing his heart out!!!!!!! AHMAZING!!!!!! GO SEE IT NOW! I loved every second of it and every single song they did!!!!! HOLY CRAP AND THE AMERICAN IDOL JUDGES WERE THERE TOO!!!

  • Hopefully seeing this in Hollywood on Tuesday!!!! :) I'm so excited!

  • 320 hahaha everybody wants a thril

  • EVERYBODY WANTS A Thrirllllllllllllllll lmaoooooooooooooooo

  • Haha! I guess 5 Tony nominations and many, many positive reviews from critics and audiences from NYC to LA are all wrong. LOL.

  • I saw it in L.A. last night, we walked out during intermission it was so bad. Except for one guy, the others were singing as if they just got out of American Idol, there was nothing that sounded like Rock from the 80s. But that's not even the worst part.

    There was no storyline!!! It felt like they put together a list of 80s rock and then threw in some dialog and voila! Only good thing was the choreography and the set, well done!

    In sum, don't go see it!

  • Dee Snider is the epitome of a cross-dressing, metal-munching, mirror shatteringly high voiced, metal mongoling, parent disapproving rockstar.

    And this guy sucks.

    What shame.

  • @dasfaust Agreed. This guy should takes a showers ands wash the shames offs himself. He ain't no fuckin' Dee Snyder that's for sure! They say American Idol? I say Glam Metal Wannabe.

  • Also went to see the show in Louisville, KY lastnight. Truly amazing.

  • is that Constantine?

  • Nice crotch, Lonny. ;)

  • @SparklingDiamond42 haha was thinking the same thing! It glows!

  • Saw the show last night in Louisville Ky. I must admit I went with the expectations of being unimpressed and must say the only let down was with myself for prejudging. IT WAS AMAZING! " VERY talented Cast!" Double thumbs up on everything! (Music,Story, Design, Choreography, etc.) A Must See!!!! I will go again!

  • @Murdoc50000 Story? You are kidding right? LOL (hopefully you are not a critic).

  • 23 are asking us to turn down the music. the answer no.

  • @wellar6 I love Rock of the 80s, I was a teen during that time, but I am sorry, this show sucked. The songs were the only good thing about it, not the performance.

  • 3:19-3:22 MAGIC.

  • Going to see it this saturday night, my wife loves Constantine.

  • I so love this show...I so can't wait to see it in April this year! Love Constantine!!! Watched and rooted for him on Idol and saw him in concert and loved every second of it.... :P :)

  • i saw the play AND IT WAS EXTREMELY FUNNY I Still Remember When The narrator ran on stage with no pants on. LOL XD

  • Wow, i diddnt think it was possible to make 80's glam Rock/Metal an more camper lol but it seems i've been proven Wrong.

  • GOD, this play sucked! I just saw it! Broadway and The Tonys jumped the shark nominating this piece of s***!

  • @RocStarr913 you got to be kidding me this show is so fucking awesome. It is simple happy go lucky show. I saw next to normal on Broadway and that is a great show but i rather watch this show any day over next to normal i rather be happy then depressed out of my mind after a show . This show rock and is a hoot and a half. Rock of ages is a self-referencing, making-fun-of-itself musical.

  • wesley taylor = <3

  • 3:19....this is why I love him.

  • I saw this in Toronto recently and it was quite phenomenal, though I'll admit it will never be my favorite, as Avenue Q & Urinetown are currently tied in that spot, I would easily go see it again :)

  • I feel like I'm watching a Sixx Flags over Georgia production.

  • is one of the guys supposed to imitate nikki sixx lol

  • who pays money to go see this crp??? have we hit rock bottom when crp like this is considered good?? I love the old music but these people are ruining it. funny how Led Zeppellin wouldnt allow their songs to be used. wonder why????? LOLOLO

  • @rockfordtoronto They aren't from the '80s and are copyright whores. Also, crap is spelled c-r-a-p. Not crp. Because you didn't look enough like a dumbfuck already. The show is actually phenomenal.

  • @LemonSalesmanExtreme you cant be as uneducated or tasteless as you appear. thers just no way. why you replied to me with absolute trash is beyond me. 3 words, get a life

  • @rockfordtoronto lolololololol Maybe watch the actual show before giving it shit. And learn to spell before calling me uneducated.

  • @LemonSalesmanExtreme Ill put my masters up against your grade 12 anyday son. fast typing errors dont equate to being uneducated. speaking like a 13 yr old like does though. bammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm owned. always wanted to do that. see ya clown now stop stalking me weirdo

  • Saw the show in Pittsburgh Pa...one of the best musicals I've ever seen besides Jesus Christ Superstar!
