ROCK OF AGES! ALLLLRIGHT! — Page 2

"KUDOS TO THE CAST, CREW, AND CREATORS FOR NOT LISTENING TO ANY OF THE BULLSH*T SAID ABOUT THEIR FUN, SMART, FUNNY, CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, HIT SHOW!!!!!!"

I couldn't have said it better SASS!!

Congratulations to Constantine Maroulis. First American Idoler to be nominated for a Tony! (Connie, it would have happened eventually without AI!)

It was a pleasant surprise to see all the Tony love (though I'll admit my jaw momentarily hit the floor with Constantine's nomination). I just wish that they could have a "dry" performance every week that those of us not interested in the "party" atmosphere could go and enjoy the show on its own merits. I would go back and see the show, and bring others, if they tried to meet some of us halfway!

PiraguaGuy2 you rock.
Look, the show isn't brilliant but its a lot of fun and the talent on that stage is second to none.
I think people go there to forget about the dropping GDP, the unemployment rate and that their mortgages are more than their house is worth.
Buy a tix, support broadway and have a good time.

"ah this feels sooo good.
didn't someone say they would eata hat or something if ROA got a nom?"

Keep your boards straight. That was on All That Chat, massofmen. Your typos and tendency to lowercase unless you're SCREAMING give you away, brother. Of course, over there, your antagonistic behavior isn't appreciated, so you have to come here where your sycophants will applaud your annoying immaturity. It's not good enough for you to see the show be successful - you have to rub other's faces in it. Petty. Childish.

You can't do that to me because I have always wished the show well. I am very unlikely to ever see it, however - and you're one of the reasons why.

I did see Rock of Ages. And, it was a show that I was glad I saw but not sure if I would be going back anytime soon. That's not to say that I didn't have a fun time while seeing the show.

But, I do think that it was nominated for best musical as well as other categories only due to the fact that this was not a strong season for musicals. I also think that based upon the reviews of 9 to 5, that the critics thought that it didn't match up to the same amount of hype that the word of mouth was giving it. I think that basically rock of ages was there due to the fact that there has to be a particular number of nominations in each category.

Massofmen, I don't read the ATC website but I remember reading someone saying they'd eat a hat. Must have been here, no?

I read it this afternoon here, another thread, and I believe it was PiraguaGuy:

Well, seeing as I was one of the posters who tossed derision at Rock of Ages predictions (and Stockard Channing and David Bologna...), I humbly eat my hat.
