Don't Stop Believin' - The BROADWAY 'Rock of Ages' Love Thread

Posted: 5/7/09 at 2:51pm

I've seen the following understudies and thought they all did a terrific job!

Savannah Wise (U/S for "Sherrie" - 2x at ROA off Broadway, 2x on Broadway)
Jeremy Jordan (U/S for "Drew" - 3x)
Tad Wilson (U/S for "Dennis" -1x, U/S for Hertz-1x off Broadway)
Jeremy Woodard (U/S for Stacee-3x off-Broadway, U/S for Franz-1x off Broadway)

Additionally, the following have gone on - wasn't in attendance, but heard they did great as well:

Michael Minarik (U/S - "Lonny")

I've seen Savannah do Sherrie and Michale do Lonnie.
Savanah is wonderful in this role and Mitch's understudy was good too. He had a great voice- the only problem was I thought he was rushing some of the lines. It may have been his first time in the role- so that would be understandable.
I saw Tad do Dennis and Hertz. He was teriffic.

Would like to see someone else as Drew.

On off-BW:

I saw Tad as Dennis once.
Lara Janine was in for Sherrie

I have a couple friends who saw Jeremy Woodard as Stacee Jaxx and they were wowed.

I've seen both Michael and Mitch as Lonny (pretty good considering I've only seen the show 4 times), I enjoyed Michael. There were some things I thought he did better than Mitch, but Mitch is very "Jack Black" to me and I like that.

Not sure about how it's been on weekends, but it is SO worth a try...just make sure that you get there on time (start taking names 2 hrs before curtain, draw names a half hour later, I think).

I saw the cast on the Today show this morning!!

Three songs! Don't Stop Believing, High Enough, and Here I Go Again. Awesome!! They were spot on. The crowd was good. Lots of signage and ROA T-shirts.

They interviewed Constantine and Amy. James lot a lot of screams from the crowd.

Very nice promo for the show. The weather looked perfect. I saw friends on my tv, too!!

I thought the group numbers lost some vitality with the close camera work, but that cast has so much energy, so kudos. Constantine sounded great for so early. Amy sounded really good on most but had a hard time not sounding like she was shouting on the high parts of High Enough. Here I Go Again should be their go-to number for these performances. It's the best group number needing the least background to make sense.
Surprisingly, Don't Stop Believin' felt contrived with all the little, individual solos, even though, within the context and ending of the show , it makes perfect sense.

Fantastic job. I couldn't imagine doing that so early in the morning.

Constantine is going to be on the Today Show with Kathy Lee and Hoda, the fourth hour on Thursday, June 4th. Hr's going to sing an original song written by David Friedman and Kathie Lee, and I hope it's a good one.

They're dark on Wednesdays actually. So I doubt that lotto will be too packed. Don't Stop Believin' - The BROADWAY 'Rock of Ages' Love Thread

The seats are partial view in the left and right orchestra. Some of them are really ****ty, but some of them are really great. Either way, I enjoy them because you're so up close.

Totally enjoying the cast album. I was actually worried when they kept talking about how they wanted it to sound like a rock album that it would end up being some "Best Hits of the '80s" cover album, but they actually did a good job of capturing the spirit of the show.

Lottery seats for ROA are the front row (4 seats) and the far left and right orchestra (total of about 20-24 seats, don't remember exact numbers).

Today might be a good day for the lotto as they don't normally have a Wednesday show and people might be less inclined to attend.

As the show's popularity increases, like any other show, lotteries become more difficult. I think the ROA is still relatively easy, but not an automatic win.
