Rock of Ages - News Update January 18
Hey, Rockers!
Got lots of news items to cover today...catching you all up on some of the latest from the the Bourbon Room...
First, and most importantly...the cast of "Rock of Ages" have kicked off a fundraising campaign to assist the relief / rescue efforts in the aftermath of the tragedy in Haiti. Backstage tours are being offered for a donation of $100 for one person, $50 for each additional person (up to 4 total in a group), with one tour per performance. Please contact cast member Lauren Molina via her Facebook page or email me at lizzy@thecryofthestrip.com and I will forward your requests along to Lauren.
Next...it is hard to believe that "Rock of Ages" has been open on Broadway for almost ten months...New York Times reviewer Charles Isherwood revisits the Brooks Atkinson and gives yet another glowing review of the show. Read it here.
"Lungs of steel" (and star of ROA) Constantine Maroulis headlines the Highline Ballroom in Manhattan this Wednesday, January 20th. Opening for him will be his castmate Tom Lenk! Tickets for the show can be purchased online or at the Highline box office.
And finally, tickets are now on sale for Broadway Bears 13 at BB Kings in New York City on Sunday, February 14th, beginning at 6pm. Go to the Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS web site to purchase tickets and get more info...you could end up taking "Drew" home! The bear, that is...
That's all for now, folks...ROCK ON!!!

I Want Your Cans + Beaver Hunt
Arsenal, the world's awesomest rock band, is well loved by ROA fans, but for some reason their two biggest hits never made it to the Rock Of Ages Cast Album, (at least on the CD or iTunes versions. )
But you can now get "I Want Your Cans" by Stacee Jaxx and Arsenal, and "Beaver Hunt" by Joey Primo and Arsenal as individual downloads at Amazon.com , or as bonus tracks on the updated ROA Cast Album.
Angelyne
If you're like me and from New York, some of the LA-isms in ROA can be mysterious. Everyone who's been to the show probably knows a dominant piece of stage scenery is the Angelyne Billboard. Heres some backstory on that
First Look - The Rock of Ages "Broadway Bear"!
Hey, Rockers!
You know how Drew, the lead character in "Rock of Ages," sometimes finds himself in situations so frustrating that you just want to reach out and give him a big hug?
Well, here's a chance to hug Drew anytime you want, and contribute to a VERY worthy cause!
The 14th Annual "Broadway Bears" Auction is coming up on February 14th at BB King's Bar and Grill in Manhattan and this year, "Rock of Ages" will have a bear up for sale.
This one-of-a-kind collectible bear was created by ROA costume guru Karl Ruckdeschel and he's allowed us here at TCOTS to give you a sneak peek at the Drew Bear!
For more information on the Broadway Bears event next month, go to the official site for BC/EFA.
Rock on...and good luck with your bidding!
