Last night we went to the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center to see Rock of Ages. We were tired and didn't really feel like going, but we are glad we did. The story goes like this: In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker (sound familiar, Journey song) and in LA’s most famous rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. It’s ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, NIGHT RANGER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more. The music is loud and head banging. There is a cult like following in the audience. People are singing at the top of their lungs to the songs.
There are lots of scantily clad women doing their best stripper impersonations (this and the music were HH's favorite parts of the show). If your into 80's Rock, this show is for you.
Oh, and American Idol finalist, Constantine was the lead. He always bugged me on AI, but he was decent in this.
