On Friday night Laurie and I went to see Rock of Ages at the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam Connecticut. Rock of Ages would be classified as a musical, however the music is all 80's rock and heavy metal.
This was our first time at the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam. It is a very small venue. Ever seat is a good seat. The ticket prices were $21/24. The Bradley is roughly a fifty minute ride from Providence. Warning, the bathroom is tiny. The show started at 7:30
Rock of Ages is the story of a small town girl (Cherrie) trying to make it in a lonely world (Sunset Strip). She meets a city boy born and raised in South Detroit (Drew). Drew wants to be a rock star. They meet at the Bourbon Club owned by Dennis Dupree. A major rock star (Stacee Jaxx) throws a kink in their budding relationship. Throughout the plot, tons of 80's rock songs are played.
The cast , vocals, and the band were awesome. The girl that plays Cherrie steals the show. Stacee Jaxx was played perfectly as a cocky rock star. Even the minor characters were really good and they mostly had songs to sing. By the end of the show the audience was on their feet. I would absolutely highly recommend seeing this if you have any interest. I don't see how you can be disappointed.
Rock of Ages plays through May 6
