What an amazing musical! Best part is it is being made into a film. Corner Store Entertainment, Maguire Entertainment, and New Line Cinema are working on the film.

A hilarious over exaggeration of the ’80s. The show has high energy. It’s hilarious. Part of the high energy is the songs we all know and are ready to sing out loud to. Everyone in the audience is singing. And you get your awesome LED light fake lighter to wave around.

Can you imagine being on Broadway singing songs from Journey, Foreigner, Joan Jett, Whitesnakes, etc.? Sounds like the perfect job to me. Just amazing list of songs used. The show is totally worth watching. You may want to rethink bringing kids. The show has a lot, a lot of sexual humor which I love. Which made it a bit awkward to watch with fam lol.

I love the ending because you don’t predict it, but it’s true of life. We may go into life with these dreams we have and end up with something different, but nothing is wrong what that. So the play isn’t exactly your typical happy ending, but that’s not something I hate. In life it’s about the JOURNEY to where we want to go that matters most. That journey is what we will remember forever.

Constantine’s range is amazing! This guy can really sing and he can hit some sick notes. (I know horrible pic of the guy, but he still rocks).

I love the Jack Black like character you witness in the intro of the following video. He is the show. I love how this play has so much more than I thought it would. I thought it was going to be a weak story (but that’s okay cause the awesome rock music). I was wrong. The story wasn’t just about saving the bar.
