Rock Of Ages Tickets

Tuesday night’s performance of Rock of Ages featured a surprise appearance from 80’s rock-star Alice Cooper.

Our new London Theatre Direct official #TheatreReporters Sophie Skyring and Lorna Cracknell underwent their first mission last week to review hit show Rock Of Ages at the Shaftesbury Theatre.   The two twenty-year-olds are lifelong theatre lovers and  have stepped up to be the voice of the people, with their own unique take on what's hot and what's not in Theatreland.

If you have a friend or family member's birthday coming up or a hen night or work party to organise, or maybe you just fancy a night out on the town doing something a little different than usual, why not get online and buy some theatre tickets to one of London's many great shows. In London's West End alone there are currently over 80 plays and musicals showing with something to please just about anyone.

It's a fierce chart battle this week in the albums chart between pop princess Cheryl Cole and pop prince Justin Bieber.    As both are vying to claim the coveted number one position, a surprise fly in their ointment has appeared in the shape of the soundtrack to the movie version of Rock Of Ages.    Although compilation albums are excluded from the main album chart so the battle's final outcome will not be affected, the soundtrack's success will be a bit of an ego-bruiser for the poplets.

Interest is soaring in the upcoming film version of Broadway smash-hit stage musical Rock Of Ages as the film adaptation's release date approaches.  A recent trailer for the film focuses on Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise's character Stacee Jaxx and shows the Hollywood star performing Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead Or Alive.

On first finding out that I would be going to see Rock of Ages , my first instinct was that of uncertainty.  Having a long history with musical theatre, the idea of a rock musical was not something I would normally sign up for.  In fact the concept of a jukebox musical has never really sat easily with me, and therefore I arrived expecting something similar to We Will Rock You, but thankfully I was in for a pleasant surprise.

The Rock of Ages musical on at the Shaftesbury Theatre had a superstar visitor last night in the shape of Britney Spears and her boyfriend/manager, Jason Trawick.
