Saw the movie - not that impressed. Went to the play and it was great! So much fun and good music (yes, a throw back in time but enjoyable). This play script is definitely made for the plays and not for a poor Tom Cruise movie....
When we arrived, we were upgraded for no charge - we got a nice center seat (i.e. good place to see the show). We then ordered two beers to enjoy during the show. If you do not want to stand in the long line they have at the bar, they have people walking around to sell various drinks and we just ordered our beers from our seat.
Highly recommend this show (Note: We are from California so we enjoyed this show more than Jersey Boys which we saw a couple of nights earlier.) Both shows are good but we really enjoyed Rock of Ages.
They give you little lights to wave at various parts of the show -some got into it; some did not.
