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

And some recent paparazzi photos of her and her pink corvette.

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!

Hmm, so yr an ROA fan and live in NYC and think to yrself, "where can I get some of that delicious Arby's they speak of?" The answer is, well soon anyway, almost anywhere.

Acording to this article in the Daily News, Arby's is opening 40 shops around New York City so whether its truly delicious or not, you will soon have you snacking opportunity. The first store goes into the former historic Downtown Brooklyn Gage & Tollner's Restaurant (weird choice that) imminently.
