Just loved the music, comedy and dancing as well as storyline, incredible show and i plan to go see it again with my son soon. Thank you for bringing this amazing show for us music lovers to see.
It was really nice, people get all excited with the songs and performance. Score 100/10
Great singing voices, dancing was wonderful, funny
I get the 80's The main cast was weak. Especially Sherrie. Supporting cast was good. Hopefully with more time it will improve.. Best of luck
So many of us couldn’t hear dialogues or even songs! In a rock show!! I’m not sure if this is the theatre issue or technical difficulties, or simply how things are “done” in Toronto in general. I’m quite disappointed at a show I’ve been waiting on years and paid so much for it! I hate complaining about cast, you can tell they’re giving their 100 but, please production get them all the professional wigs and costumes they deserve !! “Silence of Ages” :(
What a fun singing, dancing, funny, rockin’ night out! The cast was amazing and engaging, and the beautiful Elgin theatre was a bonus. We went to opening night and the few small bobbles were barely noticeable and will soon be gone with practice. Only downside was that the bar lineup was way too long at intermission and I had to content myself with a bottle of water from a pop up stand. Party on!
Show was ok. There were some funny bits. Singing was decent. Story line was hard to follow and we found it extremely hard to hear a lot of the dialogue. It was way more sexually explicit than we would’ve thought and not sure how that pertained to the story line from the 80s.
There were some microphone issues with Denis and Regina’s characters so sometimes you couldn’t quite hear them sing over the instrumental accompaniment. The show was awesome, funny and the songs were of course excellent and woven into the plot well.
Wow Canada has got talent! Actors had it going on! What a great night out. The entire audience was having fun. Had so much fun making another night if it with husband this time and more friends. Can’t wait!
Just as good if not better than the original. I love going to the theatre and wish more shows could be held at the Elgin and Wintergarden!
Rock of Ages was a really good show. I loved all the innuendos. Great acting and superb singing
Had the pleasure of seeing the first performance of "Rock of Ages" at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto. It is so refreshing to see a new professional theatre company in Canada and a full cast of talented Canadian performers. It was wonderfully staged by JP Gedeon on a visually stunning multi-level unit set. A brilliant mix of nostalgia, comedy, creative choreography, and rock-concert with the band everywhere. Stand outs include (but are not limited to... there were so many...): Dave Comeu as Lonny who sets the tone for the show right away as EXTRAordinary narrator with tongue-planted-firmly-in-cheek. Trevor Coll as Drew, all around, and there should be some kind of award for holding that one note for 30-seconds, with an ending riff. The Costuming, especially on Justice, (played by Louise Camilleri who also had an amazing voice) and the creation of angel wings just for one bit. (Actually, there are so many amazing voices here! The backstage harmonies that underscored some tender moments on-stage were *chef's kiss*.) Sherrie, played by AJ Bridel, had a well-thought-out character arc from mid-western country girl to jaded strip girl. She can Rock AND sound Country all at once, and made that tremendous range look easy. Choreography was on fire and everywhere. EVERYONE danced. The classic MTV tribute. The make-up and hair - especially that nice nod to Twisted Sister when Regina starts to protest. The llama (you have to see it... no description will do it justice.) Every scene with Franz and Regina. The "wrecking ball". Stacee Jaxx's blatant sass, and conveyor-belt moment. The tech, the laser show, the LA skyline.... "Can't Fight This Feeling" had me laughing so hard from start to finish, and the finale of "Don't Stop Believing" that had the audience on their feet dancing and singing along. If you love 80's music - treat yourself to a wonderful night at the Elgin Theatre before the show leaves for its US Tour at the end of May.
I've been following all the social media posts leading up to the opening. I can't wait to watch this incredible show tonight!!
