| - First of all I would like to point out that this show is not for kids. From beginning to end, you have scantily clad women singing, dancing, lap dancing, and constantly twirling on stripper poles on both sides of the stage. This show is designed for adults. Perfect for guys, especially when the beer is flowin. The term "Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll" perfectly describes this show.
With that said, these guys actually make a good show out of it. From all the one liners, facial expressions, gestures, and sexual inuendos, to the serious (and not so serious) acting and most importantly, singing, the overall presentation of this show is very entertaining.
Everybody, and I mean everybody on this cast can sing and dance. Some can even play instruments while singing and dancing. The stage itself is set up rather nicely. For those that did not know, this is where Blue Man Group used to perform before they moved to Monte Carlo. Even though they did not have much room, they still managed to make it look like several different scenes including an office, a bathroom, a strip club, a highway, and a construction zone. They make good use of audio, visual, and lighting at different angles not to mention timing.
As for the music, it's a virtual time machine that takes you back to the rock music of the 70's, 80's and early 90's. For each song they sang it usually had something to do with the current scene. As everybody knows, its one of those boy meets girl, falls in love, loses girl, only to find her again, learns his lesson, then they are together for good.
The only negative thing I did not like were all the people that were drinking beer. Some just don't know when to stop. Now im not one to spoil a good time for somebody but when you start saying obnoxious things and spilling your beer, that puts a damper on my experience. I felt sorry for my wife because the guy that sat next to her drank so much beer that you can literally smell it coming out of his pores. All I know is that when the show ended, there were beer cups, plastic bud light bottles, and the ridiculously strong smell of spilled beer all over the theater floor. I guess from all the shows they have had it's one big cycle they go through.
Overall, I thought it was quite amusing. You had a lot of cheesy parts but they were laughable. Don't forget to pick up your simulated cigarette lighters at the entrance. These are actually small battery powered LEDs that light up when you hold the middle button down. Feel free to wave these around especially when they sing a song that you like. I think that was a nice touch by the ROA guys. Its a 2 hour show with a 7 minute bathroom break halfway so make sure you plan accordingly. I have seen Raiding the Rock Vault at LVH and imo, Raiding the Rock Vault is a little bit better. The difference is that you have former band members actually playing instruments and singing as well. Its a lot like a concert. ROA is more of a musical.
