Tuesday my husband came home and said "Guess what we are doing Friday? Going to Rock of Ages!"
It turns out the owner of his company has season tickets to all of the shows our theater puts on. He was going to be out of town for that show, so he passed the tickets on to us. A free show is a free show after all, so we ended up going anyway. I am so happy we did. We go to a lot of live shows. Some of them are just ok, some of them are wonderful. Rock of Ages was FABULOUS! Hands down, the best show I have ever been to. It was crude, vulgar and laced with profanity, but if you can look past that, then you are really going to enjoy the show! Especially if you love 80's music! The only complaint I had was it was a show based on the music of the 80's, but there was no Gun's 'N Roses, Def Leppard or Aerosmith. That's the only thing that could have made the show any better.
The best part though? Jason was actually able to see the whole stage this time LOL!
Do you love the music from the 80's? What are some of your favorite artists or songs from then?
I am SUPER jealous. This is the show that we wanted to see when we were in NYC last month, only the free tickets we got were for Mamma Mia (which was awesome), but I really had my heart set on seeing this one. Next time I am in NYC, or if it happens to come to Boston, I am definitely seeing it.
ReplyDeleteRobin, I think you would LOVE it! I would definitely take the time to see it next time you are in NYC!
DeleteThat sounds like a blast!! Yes I LOVE the music of the 80s. Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc. (don't judge lol).
ReplyDeleteNo judgements here. Most of my ipod is filled with artists from the 80's!
DeleteHahhahah.... So glad your Hubby could see the stage this time without a pole in his way.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time!!
He was too lol!
DeleteMust have been a whole new experience without the pole in the way haha sounds like an awesome show too, but swearing might hurt the cat's virgin ears lol
ReplyDeleteHa! I've seen the cat spew some swears out at some of his rants. I think he could handle it ;) Now the strippers on the other hand...
DeleteGlad you had a good time, and hurray, the free tickets make up for the cost of the others that had such a lousy view. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a bonus! I think Jason would have preferred to see the entire stage of this performance anyway!
DeleteOh ya I love music from the 80s.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
Deletenope and perhaps Journey or Foreigner. Whoever Sting was with. Me no likey the 80's (went thru bad marriage and divorce in '86) so... thanks Ms. Theresa, heart, for reminding me. *i'm just being a bit snarky today*
ReplyDeleteNow give me the BEATLES, Mariah Carey, boyz ii men, or George Strait and I'm THERE.
Hey, it's not for everyone ;) You can be snarky any time you want here. It makes up for me calling your sweater picks ugly the other day ♥
DeleteI am glad you had a good time Theresa and Jason was able to see the whole stage this time!:) I like a lot of the music of the 80s. Enjoy the rest of your Monday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! Have a great Monday too :)
DeleteI like some music from the 80's but I couldn't tell you the names! My husband loves that kind of music though. Sounds like y'all had a fun time. I wish we had things like that to do around here.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have much to do in our neck of the woods except go to live shows. As much as I love them, I do wish there was more happening things going on around here.
DeleteYes, a beautiful photo. I love the 80's rock, well, I like any time if quality.
ReplyDeleteI like all kinds of music too. I guess it just depends on my mood and what I want to listen to at the time :)
DeleteSounds like you had so much fun! Definitely sounds like a great show and I'm SOOOO glad Jason was able to see it LOL!! All the better! hehe. I can't believe they didn't have Aerosmith or Guns 'n Roses though! What's up with that? ;)
ReplyDeleteI would have thought the same too if offered, because of Tom Cruise.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a fun show for you! It's nice to be surprised :)
Ohhhh don't get me started on the 80's music Theresa!! You may have heard me say before that I'm a BIG hair band fan lol. I haven't seen either the musical or the movie. I've heard before that the musical is fabulous, and I have the same problem with Tom Cruise so I may never see the movie.
ReplyDeleteOhh I love 80's music! I'm shocked that none of those bands were included
ReplyDeleteI love going to see plays, especially ones that are musical. I like to listen to the music from the 80s because it reminds me of my college days and when my husband and I were young.

ReplyDeleteAi @ Sakura Haruka
