"Rock of Ages" - Global domination, anniversary parties and more, more, more!

Hey, Rockers!

Miss Lizzy checking in here from the heart of TCOTS central with some odds and ends for my rocking friends here!

First, for those of you in the New York area, come celebrate the 1st Anniversary of "Rock of Ages" on Broadway with a party at the famous Carnival at Bowlmor Lanes. Here are the details...

The cast of the Tony-nominated musical Rock of Ages will celebrate its first anniversary on Broadway with a May 12 evening at Carnival at Bowlmor Lanes in Manhattan.

Tony nominee Constantine Maroulis, Derek St. Pierre, Michele Mais, Michael Minarik, Angel Reed, Matt Stocke, Jenifer Foote, Katherine Tokarz, Jeremy Woodard, Becca Tobin, Winston Roye, Mitchell Jarvis and Tommy Kessler are all scheduled to be part of the 6-9 PM event, which is open to the public.

Guests will enjoy music, boardwalk games, live circus performers, up-scale carnival-themed food and drinks and an opportunity to rock out with the cast. Admission to the celebration is $25 per ticket (purchased at the door) and includes ten game tickets and live circus entertainment.

Carnival at Bowlmor Lanes is located at 110 University Place (between 12th and 13th Streets). For more information visit www.bowlmor.com or call (212) 255-8188.

Next, former ROA cast member and current star of "The Addams Family", Wesley Taylor, made his headlining solo debut at Joe's Pub this past Monday and Friend of TCOTS "Liz" was able to capture it on video and was gracious enough to share with us, so take a peek!

Finally, for those of you in the Great White(snake) North, all of us at The Cry of the Strip would like to wish a rockin' BREAK A LEG to Rock of Ages Toronto on their upcoming epic opening night, Tuesday May 11th at the Royal Alexandria Theater! In the words of Status Quo, here's to "Rockin' All Over the World"!!!!

Rock on,

Miss Lizzy

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!

Miss Lizzy
