From the powers-that-be at Rock of Ages...

Hey Rock Fans!

For all of you rockers headed to The Today Show on Monday morning, here's a chance to show your support of "Rock of Ages" on national TV AND possibly score some seats to the show!

We will be holding a fan-created poster contest during the broadcast - the most kickass sign in the crowd (to be judged by the cast and Today Show folks) will win a pair of tickets to a future Monday or Tuesday night performance of "Rock of Ages".

So get creative and we'll see you as we ROCK the ROCK on Monday!

Rock on!

Oh Lizzy, I am so bummed I can't be there Monday (Having company for a Connecticut BBQ.)

I have some GREAT photos of Wesley, Lauren, Constantine that I took after my first Rock of Ages visit (opening week). I had them blown up and the stars signed them on my second visit. They would be great on a poster with a pithy caption... sigh...

Also, Constantine came to the stage door the other day in a tuxedo (sans tie).... which I think is pretty funny.... just saying.

>>which I think is pretty funny

Maybe he had somewhere to go after the show or came to the show from an event.

Did anyone go to Fleet week??
ROA cast is performing - right about now.

Oh, that's right Fleet Week.

If I was going to the Today Show, I'd make a sign. I'll be home looking for familiar faces on my tv!!

i'm working on my sign... :)

constantine in a tux huh... yum!

wait, was that saturday night? i was at the stagedoor saturday night and he def had a suit on.

[Walnut36]

Posted: 5/22/09 at 9:56pm

Constantine was wearing the tux at the end of the Saturday matinee and I doubt he had a wedding to go to between gigs....

I think it is his new look.

Speaking of Fleet Week... Watched a little of the Yankees game on TV tonight (toggled it with the Red Sox game, big Sox fan here)... anyway, TONS of empty seats behind home plate... C'mon Yankees, give some to the Fleet guys!

then he was probably wearing the same saturday night...

he was gracious at stagedoor but said he had to run so he couldn't take pictures. he took off toward's 8th avenue. i started that way to walk to port authority and it was like he disappeared in thin air. so wherever he was going he must have been in a hurry.

Video has shown up, he was on his way to the Hellenic Times Scholarship Fund event.

[Walnut36]

Posted: 5/23/09 at 9:50am

That's really cool that Constantine went to that event, good for him.

[lstbutifulgrl2]

mine's done... RoA tweeted with a pic of mine.

so now they are predicting rain for tomorrow morning
if it rains, is the concert still outside?

[BlueforBroadway]

Posted: 5/24/09 at 9:21pm

By the 8 o'clock hour when this is going to happen, there is only a 20 percent chance of rain. I think everything's going to be alright.

Just finished watching the third ROA performance on the Today show. Very good job by the cast with Don't Stop Believin', High Enough, and Here I Go Again. Very entertaining and fun!

Lizzy was that you in a Rock of Ages jacket? If so, you were featured numerous times, hope you TIVO'd the show.

Renaibr, I saw some girls with a pink sign saying it was her 14th birthday. If that was your group, you also shared some limelight on the show. Kudos.

One annoyance: Someone hawking Hebrew National Hot Dogs during the performance... so NOT Kosher, man!

The interview with Constantine and Amy.... (professional job by both)

As a side note,

I went to ROA opening week, and at the stage door asked Constantine who he thought would win American Idol. He said, "Frankly, I don't give a sh*t."

In an MSNBC interview and on Today he said he watched the whole season of AI, and had great things to say about both finalists...

Attitude adjustment noted, Constantine.

As a character in Thank You For Smoking says, "Gotta pay the mortgage."

I thought the performance was dreadful. I hated it and I still have no desire to see the show.

whaaaaaaaaat a shocker.

Nothing that Constantine does or says would surprise me anymore.... That being said, thought they were very energetic (especially since its so early !!!), and sounded pretty good.

the performances sounded a little off to me but I chalk that up mainly to it being so damn early, and the odd bits of restaging for morning tv

Yeah, I give them credit for waking up so early !!!

I dont even want to speak so early, let alone sing !!!

Constantine's been 'paying' mortgage to AI for years. He's gotten nothing from them in return. He's made it all happen on his own without any support from them.

Of course he's going to be pc on air.

I liked the recent appearance on VH1's Top 20 Countdown where AI was not mentioned one time.

I thought they sounded wonderful this morning. All of them got up pre-dawn for this appearance. It's the first time a BW show has had three songs on the Today show. The crowd was into it, too.

I saw lots of people I know in the audience. It was magical!

So who won the contest?
Does Lizzy the superfan know?

There were a few real good ones.
Of course I liked mine the best.

Great show!!
So worth getting up at 3AM for.

The ROA performances were horrible. This musical got nominated over 925 which had original songs written by Dolly? This is a travesty!

[illtakeparros]

Posted: 5/25/09 at 4:41pm

Um, well I loved it! Perfect way to to wrap up my long week end.

So happy the cast and crew were recognized with a Tony nomination for all their hard work and off the chart energy. Congrats ROA!!

JerseyGirl2,

The posters were photographed and sent to the show's producers who have reviewed them and picked a winner and two runners-up.

The announcement of the winners shall likely be made in the next day or so.

Thanks for entering the contest!

Thanks.
After the last fiasco I was wondering if there really was a contest.
I liked the one with the flame- ( can't remember the exact words)
The guitar was cool- but not really a poster.

~the T shirt guy made fun of mine.
:p
