Rock of Ages Super Fan Contest Announced!

Hey, rockers!

Direct from Rock of Ages Headquarters in the supply closet of Dupree's Bourbon Room...

Do you fall asleep by counting llamas?

When someone refers to something as "rad", do you want to qualify it by saying "...but not that dumb-a** Rock-Against-Drugs kinda rad?"

Have you been cheering on your favorite sports team and accidentally screamed out "Hooray for Boobies"?

Is your dance alter-ego Hungarian?

If you've answered "Hells, yeah!" to any of the above questions, then enter the Rock of Ages Super Awesome Ultimate Rock Fan Opening Night Challenge!

Here's how:

Forward the code ROCKFAN to your friends, so they can save
up to 50% on Broadway’s most rockin’ show.

Once they buy, get them to
send their confirmation number to you, so you can forward it to AwesomeRockContest@Gmail.com. We'll keep track of your score. The more friends you get to buy tickets (at a super cool price!), the more points you earn. The more points you earn the more stuff you get!



UPDATE: The contest has been amended to reflect the following change to the rules: Each TICKET purchased will now be equivalent to one point in the contest, rather than each confirmation code.

Rock on and good luck!

New cast members join ROA on Broadway

Arriving on Broadway we sadly say goodbye to some of the original cast and welcome aboard the 2009 freshman class of Rock of Ages.


In the role of Sherrie we have the young broadway veteran Amy Spanger, formerly of The Wedding Singer, Urinetown, Kiss Me Kate and Chicago, to name a few.  We hear she’s a true triple threat - singer/dancer/comedienne.  And I’m sure she can rock a stripper pole, hungarian or not!


Next, filling the big boots (and codpiece) of Stacee Jaxx, there’s James Carpinello.  James’ work includes Saturday Night Fever, The Rocky Horror Show and Romeo & Juliet.  He’s a dude who really knows how to treat a girl, or llama.


New guys in the ensemble are Michael Minarik (of Les Miserable), Jeremy No. 2, Jeremy Jordan (a B’way Virgin), Andre Ward (Xanadu, Saturday Night Fever, The Producers)


And The Venus Club and Bourbon Room have just hired on Ercika Hunter (another B’way newcomer), and Katherine Tokarz (White Christmas, A Chorus Line, Wicked)


We wish them nothing but a good time!

Welcome to the Great White(snake) Way

Hey, rockers!

I'm going to let this picture say it all for me this morning...


27 Days to First Preview...

Rock on,

Miss Lizzy
