The Story
In 1987, on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl meets a big city rocker and, in LA's most famous rock club, they fall in love to the greatest songs of the '80s. It's ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Reo Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Asia, Whitesnake and many more.

Names will be drawn for 22 seats at $25 each in the very front row of the orchestra level and in box seats. Winners must be present and will need to show photo ID.
This lottery is available in-person, at the box office, only: cash only, with a limit of two tickets per person.

Questions About the Show?
Q. Is there loud music in the show? Are there strobe lights? Well, it's a rock musical set in the late '80s, and you're gonna feel like you're at a rock concert during parts of it, so, yeah, the music is sort of loud and there are all kinds of special lighting effects, including strobes.
Q: Is ROCK OF AGES appropriate for children? ROA is a full-out, blast-off, hold-onto-your-hairspray celebration of the great rock music of the '80s, and you might be wondering - or, admit it, hoping - if your kids will love it as much as you will. Well, we think they will, but you should know that some of the costumes, dancing and language might not be appropriate for kids under the age of 14. We think teenagers will dig it, because it's totally awesome - sort of like a music video brought to life, complete with hot dancers and blazing guitar licks. You know the maturity of your children better than we do, so we suggest you use your best judgement about whether or not the show is appropriate for them. Remember, if you do bring them, they'll get to see you rockin' like you did back in the day. Just so you know
Suggested for ages 14+. Children under the age of two will not be admitted.

Bought tickets in early May as a 27th Wedding Anniversary present for my hubby (and me of course). We saw the show on July 3rd and absolutely loved it!!! The 80's was our era, the best times and the best music. We plan to go again this weekend!!! The show was amazing, I sang right along with the cast and I even caught my husband shaking his booty in the aisle. ROA really ROCKS!!!
Saw Rock of Ages back in July and can't wait to see it again. It's a fabulous show with great music. The actors are second to none with amazing voices. Everyone should see it!
This show was great! Hilarious, entertaining, rad, awesome...don't give it justice.
Rock of Ages is the best musical i have ever seen. I saw it with Tony LePage as Stacee Jaxx, Adrienne Merrell as Regina. and one of my personal favorites, Caleb Cosman as Franz.
Yvan had a mind blowing voice, along with Elicia who also had one hell or a voice. Lonny was funny. Stacee Jaxx was hilarious because he took well to 5 dudes calling him an asshole :P Dennis was a well written character. Hertz had a great role. Franz was hilarious! My favorite quote from him was "Im not gay, Im just German" The band was kick ass. One of the best bands ive ever seen. Overall the best musical this Millennium! Be Proud ROA Staff and Actors/Actresses :)
Just saw Rock of Ages for the second time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was even better this time around. What a show to come to Toronto. Everyone should go and see this show. It is funny, with great music, and cast. Yvan is amazing as Drew. He is a true rock star. Elicia, what a talented and beautiful actress. And Aaron as Lonny, he always steals the show. Extremely fun. The whole cast is great. This cast should play these roles on broadway, and the movie of Rock of Ages being made. It totally rocks!!!!!!!!! Don't stop believin'.
P.S I wish this cast would record a cast recording. I would be first in line to buy it.
Just saw Rock of Ages for the second time July 27th...even better the second time around...Yvan has the most mind-blowing voice...I was mesmerized...and David and Aaron make the show as they are so funny...of course Elicia has a fantastic voice too...I'm working on a 3rd time...sitting right up front this time...row J was great (much better than the 3rd level where I sat the first time, and was afraid to stand up lest I fell over the balconey) but next time I'm going for the front! Awesome...
Rock of Ages was AWESOME! Yvan Pedneault has one of those voices that must be heard again and again, but most surprising... I had never heard of Tony Lepage till I saw him playing Lonny the night we went to see the show. Tony is absolutely HILARIOUS! As the night went on, Tony only needed to walk on stage and he had a reaction from the crowd. Where did this guy come from and how come I've never seen him on TV? I always tell people Canada makes the BEST comedians and Tony proves that once again.
The whole show is FANTASTIC, but whoever is lucky enough to see Tony LePage (understudy) play Lonny is in for a treat. My fingers are crossed that he'll be playing that role on our second visit!
THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN
Tony Lepage was INCERDIBLE as Stacee Jaxx. Everyone was just amazing. I'm DIEING to see it again!
I saw that Saturday show too! Tony LePage was brilliant as Lonny! I really want to go see this show again!
Unbelievable show. Amazing acting, heartfelt story and above all AMAZING MUSIC! A true theatrical masterpiece that embraces TRUE music.
Tony LePage rocked the mullet on Saturday perhaps he is a relation to Joe Dirt?
I seen ROA the second time and again it rocked of course i'll keep coming and coming and coming until the show stops but i know it will go on forever like it did with we will rock you like say 3 or 4 years give and take fantastic job roa toronto and congrats on winning the dora award!!!!!
I had won tickets through my local radio station and i took my brother with me...we had such a great time...the cast is just amazing... when Drew hit that one note in the closing song...i had chills running down my spine...just a fantastic performance by all!!! Im taking hubby to see the show for his birthday in august =)
PS during intermission we over heard some people who saw it in NY. They said Toronto's version is way better!!!
Long live ROA!!!
Loved the show. The comedy, dancing, music was all fantastic. Love the interaction with the audience. Yvon was great in We Will Rock You, blew me away in Rock of Ages. Will definitely see it again!!
Saw it on my girls weekend in TO and what a party the show is. Tony was great as Lonny. I haven't sang so much in "AGES". Better than karaoke!!! Felt like I was back in 1982 again.. Thanx.
Saw it with my family and OMG I absolutely LOVED it, it made me "want to rock" I felt like jumping up on stage with the cast! The cast was amazing! It was honestly the best thing I have ever seen! I can't wait to go see it again because I WANNA ROCK!!!!
Love the cast of ROA!!! Amazing, talented people who know how to have fun!! :D Trying to convince my parents to see it :)
Finally a show that embraces: comedy; song; music; dance; fantastic acting; inclusiveness; plot; climax; and a happy ending. Thanks to all the members of this fantastic show.
I have never seen such a great show. I don't think nothing will ever compare to this. It was funny, great superb voices, great acting and so on. I was so amazed by the whole show that I was the first to get up for a standing ovation. Since I am normally a little shy that is different for me but I didn't care. It was just so great. I am going back to see it again. I can't wait. I would love to be able to meet the of the cast and band. TERRIFIC!
Amazing show! I've seen it twice and will go again and again! Incredibly talented cast...Mr. Mirvish...please, please record our canadian performers and make us our own cd! Yvan, Elicia and Peter ROCKED in a way only Canadians can! I enjoyed their voices much more than their American counterparts! Well done to all involved, this was the best musical I have ever been to!
Just saw the show last night....AWESOME! EVERYONE should go see this show......the lighting, music and talent were just a blast......and the little things that made it a "Canadianized" version really added to it! Keep on rockin' everyone! It looked like everyone on stage was having as much fun up there as we were in the audience.....
Some tips: Check out Big Daddy's Crab Shack for dinner beforehand.....deeeeeelicious! And don't park in the lot right beside the theater....$25!!!!, if you drive right around the corner, you can park under the theatre for about $10 and take an elevator up!
5 Stars! Fantastic Show. My wife and I saw it May 16th and we have already purchased tickets to see it again!
My husband and I, along with our friends, just saw the Sunday, May 30th afternoon show and were absolutely amazed! The entire cast rocked.. and we always appreciate the true talent it takes to perform live onstage, and still be able to sing and dance without missing a beat. And Aaron, as Lonny, no one can wear a half-shirt like you can! And Franz in his blue spandex outfit.. what can I say?? Hilarious!!.. MY favourite line "I'm not gay, I'm German!!"
Thanks again to the entire ensemble for a fabulous entertaining show!
Took the husband to see the show on Saturday May 28th (First timer as he had never been to a show in TO before) and boy oh boy what a awsome show. We laughed, we sang, we enjoyed the show so much we want to come back. Loved Aaron as Lonny. You rocked. We are still talking about this show. A MUST SEE for all.
What an amazing cast!! The house band was phenomenal and their sound was rock concert quality. Yvan and Elicia shone as the innocent lovers with big city dreams. Peter bedazzled the audience with his oh so accurate portrayal of an 80's glam rocker and David warmed the hearts of many with his depiction of the lovable hippie Dennis. However, the highlight of the show was Aaron Walpole as the narrator. He brought the character of Lonny to life with comedy and killer moves. Never has a crop top and sequined star nipple covers been worn so well by a man! Kudos to a tremendously well performed show. Canada should be proud of all of it's amazing talent. This was money well spent. Wishing the cast continued success and a long run.
My daughter surprised me with tickets to see the show. Rock of Ages is hands-down the BEST theatre production I have ever been too. It is the total package: awesome 80's music, a fantastic cast, comedy, a bit of drama thrown in and....did I mention that awesome 80's music!!! The entire cast was amazing. And when Yvan Pednault hits that final note during "Oh Sherrie" I thought I would die. For three hours this afternoon I was thrilled, entertained, inspired and my cares and worries were forgotten. I will be back again as soon as possible. Simply outstanding.
Rock of Ages is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best play to be in Toronto since We Will Rock! Aaron as Lonny stole the show. He was so funny. Yvan and Elicia rocked. This is the best play. Funny, good music, and hot girls. Don't Stop Beleivin'
Went with friends to see the show and by the end of the first act we were already talking about going to see it again. Everything was amazing from the set, the costumes the music and of course the acting. Incredible show a must see!
My daughter and I drove up from Montreal to see the show and absolutely loved it! It was fun, sexy and very entertaining. I love the fact that it is an all Canadian cast We have some very talented people in this beautiful country of ours. I can't wait to see it again and again. It is definitely worth the drive. Yvan and Elicia have so much chemistry between them, and Aaron you are so funny. Everyone was fantastic. You guys all "ROCK"
Thanks for a great time!!!!!
If you haven't bought tickets for this show yet... something must be wrong with you!!?? If you love to laugh,sing and have a great time, ROCK OF AGES is the show for you
Wow! Rock of ages was absoultly AWSOME! I've been to 8 Mirvish shows and i have to say by far, Rock of ages is my favorite. Yvan was ABSOLOUTLY amazing! Showing that he is still totaly rock and roll!If you thought Elicia was good in S.O.M then you'll love her in this new roll showing she is trully an amazing actress! Peter was also amazing.Though one person really stood out to me. I watched Boys In The Photogragh and i did't really notice him. Now, Cody shows he is quite the actor as he portrais hallariouse Franz!
FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rock of Ages, rocked my socks off. What a show, full of great tunes, lots of laughs and stellar performances. I'm still singing..
I saw it yesterday, For the 2nd time. And i rocked just as hard. I have to say Yvan rocks like he always did, but Lonnie omg. he is the funniest guy ever. Hats off to you all.. see ya again real soon
I went to see the May 22 performance with my sister and we both absolutely loved it. It was great to relive our highschool years. We didn't expect it to be so funny and entertaining. It is the best musical we have seen so far. We think we might even go see it again.
We saw Rock of Ages for today for the second time. And now we are planning the third. This is the best show yet. It rocks big time. Can't wait to see it again......
I went to the show on May 16th and it was FANTASTIC!!! I was lucky enough to see it in NYC last fall and as soon as I soon as I heard it was coming to T.O., I had to get tickets. Well worth it, and I would see it again! Loved Aaron Walpole and Elicia blew me away! Amazing!
Even after seeing Rock Of Ages multiple times in one weekend it still does not fail to make me laugh as hard as I did the first time I saw it!
I've caught the bug BIG TIME!!! Twice in 1 week, and I could go for more! What an amazing time! I'll be back real soon.
I was blown away at how amazing this show was; absolutely phenomenal! Everything about it exceeded my highest expectations and more. A job well done by entire cast and crew
My husband and i went to the show May,20 it was fantastic the best time i have had at a show. I advise anyone who was in the 80s music this is a must see.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this show and the singing and dancing and humour. I won't repeat his favourite line from the show, but let's just say when Lonnie walked across the stage after with some his pants LOW, we both giggled.
My husband surprised me with tickets for my birthday. Best present ever! And I saw him clapping, too, so I know it made a big impression on my non-theatre-goer!! Thank you!
I went to see Rock of Ages on a school trip on Thursday May 20th and I honestly haven't LAUGHED SO HARD in all of my theatre experiences!!! :D The cast's energy was contagious--characters like Lonny, Drew, Sherrie, Stacee Jaxx and Franz made me laugh so hard, I lost my voice by the end of the show! Great job! Can't wait to come back!
We had a fantastic time...I felt like I was 17 again! My husband and I spent the last 2 days singing "Here I Go Again"...cannot get the songs out of my head! Yvan was fabulous! (love your slight French Canadian accent!) It was hilarious...really there was absolutely nothing I didn't enjoy about the show! I've recommended it to everyone I know!
i have been to a lot of live theatre and this was by far the best. Aaron was hilarious... Yves is simply fantastic - can't wait to see what you do next. I will be back to ROA many more times.
They built the city on rock'n roll, they were wanted dead or alive, but "we're not going to take", so don't stop believin! - sound familiar...THE MOST FANTASTIC AND BEST THEATRE EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! I brought 40 people on a Coach Bus last friday night and we had an absolute blast...from the moment we entered the theatre we returned to a time of classic rock, big hair, and wine coolers. The music was fabulous! We laughed and danced throughout the entire show! Never have we experienced such a true flashback to the 80's. The cast and the band ROCKED! They made us feel part of their story and connected so well with the audience. We hope to return again to share in this experience - you don't want to miss it!
rock of ages is now one of my favourite musicals, love the music, love the cast, love the humour. can't wait to see it again
Went May 15 matinee wasn't sure what to expect. I haven't laughed so hard in my life. Lonny was a riot and the Tiger joke just snuck up on you. It was like a party with old friends. Will be going back and have been raving about it to everybody I talk to.
I haven't had this much fun at the theatre in years. This show rocks.
OMG...it was like I was back in highschool again!!! What a show...loved it....loved it.....loved it!!! We actually called and ordered tickets to see the show again before we left the theatre! Excellent....ROCK ON...ROCK OF AGES....ROCK ON!
Just saw Rock Ages this past weekend. I absolutely loved it!!! Aaron was incredible as Lonny, Yvan was a perfect Drew, Elicia was an awesome Sherie, Peter was outstanding as Stacee, Josephine Rose was disturbingly endearing and David was angelic (tee hee). I have already bought tickets to see the show again. Sure wish I lived closer...would see this show every week!!!
I just went on a very cool ride back to a place I can only go through music now, thanks to the top-notch performance here. Best show I've seen, oh, Sherie, oh oh...
we all remember the days when all the guys went around with mullets and the days when tight spandex neon athletic clothes were in. the days when you were not cool unless you went to the latest rock and roll concert. at cheap prices. well now you can relive those days . the cast of Rock Of AGES brings back all of these fun memories from the 80s in what i say is the Hottest new Rockin Musical to hit the Toronto stage. it will have you singing and dancing along in your seat. i loved the show keep those eighties moments alive. sincerly ANDREW KEEL 28 years old of Newmarket Ontario Canada
Potentially, my favorite show of all-time - pure entertainment, raw talent, enormous laughs, and finally, Rock of Ages I Hate Myself for Loving You. :)
Had the good fortune to see ROCK OF AGES what an awesome show....will be coming back, we loved it! The cast was great but have to say our favourite was Aaron Walpole.....if you don't like what he does in this show....you must not have been there at all! Way to go Aaron and the entire cast....Thanks to you all!!!
Loved this performance. I will surely have to see it again with my daughters. Love the 80's music and performers where outstanding. A job well done.
I absolutely loved this show !!!!My husbands first time seeing a show and we will be back to watch it again !!! Yvan - you are fabulous !!!!!
My daughter and I saw the show on May 16th and had a phenomenal time! Not only was the plot and music fantastic, but every actor brought their own charisma to the show, especially Yvan Pedneault and Elicia MacKenzie! We have booked tickets to see the show again in July because we loved it that much. I would recommend this show to those that wants to relive the 80's or for anyone wanting to experience the decade known for it's passion and great music!
Love to follow Toronto's musical shows! Great to see the same faces musical after musical. And guess what? I liked the To. voices better than those on the Broadway CD I bought! Don't stop believing, To.!
awesome show!!! takes me back to the memorable 80's what a blast!Hair,make-up,costumes and music were bang on.
took my son to see his first theatre. the show was brilliant!! great singing and great music from yesteryear...
Yvan Pedneault is terrific! Even when he is pushing a broom, he has stage presence. We sang, we laughed, we really enjoyed ourselves!
At the Rock of Ages, it couldn't get any better than that. The show rocked, the music was hardcore, the costumes really made you feel like you were in that time period. I couldn't have had a better show.
I went to see Rock of Ages on Friday. It was great. I also saw We will Rock you. Rock of Ages is even better.
It was non stop music. I will be recommending this & seeing it again.
If you love full energy and powered electric performances - this is the one to watch...It Rocked!
saw the show last night it was AWSOME, if anyone gives it bad reviews they dont know how to chill out and have a good time. voices superior, music outstanding, story entertaining and hilarious, what can I say this is one to see again and again. dont miss it.
Absolutely loved it! The cast was phenomenal, and music was excellent! Here I Go Again was my fav for sure!!
Yvan was great in We Will Rock You, in Rock of Ages he hits new heights. Incredible performance
Awesome show, extremely entertaining from start to finish- great rock memories with a lot of fun to boot- high energy crew with terrific sound. Gotta go see this again
This show was Amazing. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Great Job
I was fortunate enough to be present atthe show on opening night and share in all the joy and excitement of another hit show. My 80's memories are more along the lines of Mariposa, but I have turned to the dark side and WANT TO ROCK!!!!!!............now where did I put my lighter???
Do you Want to Get Rocked? Rock Of Ages takes you back to the Music and Fun of the 80's on the strip. A Must See!
Awesome - Yvan's voice better than ever. Elicia - nice change from Maria. Together, they are magic
Great show! If you like to laugh and to listen to the great 80's rock music, you will love that show!
We've seen the show last week, and wahou! It blew us away! We had so much fun! The music is great, and the actors are fantastic! We laughed a lot and had the best time in ages!
Rock of Ages is the best musical to come along in "ages". I hope it runs for a decade just like all the incredible 80's songs that are depicted. Loved the entire cast especially Peter Diewick. WOWZEE
LOVED this show!
It's loud, funny, 80s, tight pants, big hair, rock and roll!
4 stars from us!
We loved it! Fantastic! Awesome! Drew & Sherie was amazing, and Lonny was the funniest narrator I have every seen. To make it even better, every song they sang is on my iPod - it was like a walk down the 80's memory lane.
Saw this show last night and Yvan is so compelling he just draws (pun intended) you in to his world. Loved "Detroit via Montreal"! His voice and Elicia's were made to harmonize together. If you love eighties music this is an absolute "must-see"!
Absolutely fantastic and most definitely hilarious! A complete blast of entertainment from start to end! We will recommend this show to all our friends and family. If you haven't seen it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO NOW!!! You won't regret it!
What an awesome show. I had such a great time from beginning to end. It is casted so well, all the voices superb,characters so believable. Aaron Walpole was hilarious-great delivery. I will be back for many more performances. Can't get enough of this show. Transports me back to a very fun time of my life. Hope the run is extended!!
Love on the Rocks! It's like being on the road with an All Access Pass.
Rock of Ages is a great, funny, very entertaining show. Definitely worth going!
great show, lively, entertaing, cast was wonderful
totally Awesome. Full and energy and the cast were amazing
I laughed so hard during the performance I was crying, amazing pace to the show, it just rips along. You'll scream, cheer, clap out loud. Be warned, the entrance of Stacee Jaxx will kill you! The whole cast share the kudos on this one, who needs a leading light!! ROCK ON Toronto, again.
Wow..we enjoyed ROA so much!!
Lonny was hilarious!! and of course I loved Stacee Jaxx
The whole show was very entertaining..will be going again!!
Rock of Ages totally Rocked!!! Drew and Sherrie were so great!!
I laughed so hard during the performance I was crying, amazing pace to the show, it just rips along. You'll scream, cheer, clap out loud. Be warned, the entrace is Stacee Jaxx will kill you! The whole cast share the kudos on this one, who needs a leading light!! ROCK ON Toronto, again.
Saw it last week with my mom, we both loved and can't stop singing the songs. Felt like it was the 80"s all over again. Will be seeing it again forsure. Dont' stop Believing!!!!
You can tell that the performers are having a great time! I couldn't stop singing along. The 80s live!
Thank you Rock of Ages. The music from the Lost 80's has been found...and it,s never sounded better.
This show ABSOLUTELY ROCKED ! We were transported back to the eighties, and thouroughly enjoyed reliving that decade. ROCK ON!
A well executed trip down memory lane for anyone who grew up enthralled with power ballads and 80s hair bands. Outstanding, talented cast.
I used to be a normal,quiet, everyday taxpayer but after seeing Toronto's 'Rock of Ages', I 've become a ravin',rockin' (air) guitar god of Rock!
What a blast my 14 year old son and I had at Rock of Ages. Great band and music. We haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
I saw the show last Friday with a friend and we both loved it. Overall, the show rocks! I'd like to see it again.
Rock of Ages is a non-stop musical blast to the past...the memories, the laughs, the songs, and the fact my eyes were super-glued to the dancers.
LOVED the show! LOVED the music. Made me realize that maybe I should be less embarrassed about being a teen during the '80's!! It WAS a great decade after all! Aaron Walpole did an amazing job, and none of us expected to laugh so hard! WELL DONE!
Saw the performance yesterday. This is now our favourite musical! Loved the music! Very funny! Plan on taking our family back to see it again!!
I was extremely impressed! It is not easy to find a show that successfully merges storyline, soundtrack, acting and most important, audience engagement. Well done Rock of Ages! Will definitely go again!
This show is absolutely fantastic i can't fight this feeling that right i can't fight this rocking musical feeling!!!!!! Guaranteed the show of the year!
I have never laughed so hard in my entire life! I saw Rock of Ages yesterday and I had an amazing time.Aaron was absolutely hilarious as Lonny - he had us in stitches the entire time. I was glad to see Yvan back on stage too - he hit notes I didn't know existed! Overall, amazingly awesome show. I would definitely go see it again.
My husband, son & I saw Rock of Ages at May 8th matinee. Awesome show!!
We all loved it....sang along 'cuz of course we knew all the songs!! Emailed a friend to tell her to take her Dad for Father's day, he'll LOVE it! Hope to see it again.
Well now I have seen it 6 times. I have brought a different family member with me each time, seeing that we can't all go at once (but that just gives me more reason to see it again) I can't wait to see the news on Tuesday at 6:30, Looking at the musical "ROCK OF AGES". It's "Nothin' But A Good Time" so "Cum On Feel The Noize"
Great perfomance..the 80`s was a changing time and for some a blurr and the rest a Journey and this show will take you there with good humor,sexy girls and that Classic sound.. Rock!.. good job by the band. I`ll be back!
Saw this last Thursday and it was great. The best theater show we have been too. Would love to see it again if we lived in Toronto
Rock of Ages is amazing and it literally rocks. Growing up in South America, I listened to all of the songs from the show on the radio and it became the soundtrack of my teenage years. Thank you for an amazing experience. Highly recommended.
High energy show with superb voices, incredible music, side-splitting comedy...Rock of Ages has it all.
I saw Rock of Ages on Wednesday and the show was absolutely amazing! Definitely one of my all time favourite musicals. Rocktastic!!!
Loved it! Lots of head bopping and smiling!
My ticket was a Christmas gift from my kids - I wasn't too sure I would like it - after all I just had my 66th birthday - and the last show I saw was Sound of Music - but after seeing this one all I can say is WOW! Loved everything about it! A great Christmas gift!!
Saw it two weeks ago...LOVED IT!!!! It was AWESOME!!!! Can't remember the last night I laughed so hard in the theatre!!!! :)
The show was Amazing!!! Can't wait to see it again.
Yes, the whole cast was terrific, Yvan in particular. I had so much fun. I felt like a new woman after seeing the show, REENERGIZED...
Wanna see it again !
AMAZING is the only word that describes this musical! Saw it last night with my HUbby and 12 yr old son. HE LOVED it and asked when we can see it again! Music, characters everything was WONDERUL! Congrats & Thank you to the entire cast you brought me back to my high school days!
So so so much fun! The cast is fantastic and the music rocks. The Royal Alex is rocking every night!
What a blast!! Loved it - totally relived my youth. Great cast but especially Aaron Walpole - hilarious!!
Best SHOW EVER!!!!! From start to finish, all the little details going on in the background...amazing cast, amazing music....laughed the whole time!! Will see it again!!
Saw the show April 20th. It was awesome. Already planning a trip to see it again. Can't wait.
Amazing show!!! Loved everything. The music,acting,story is just great! Everyone should try to see it!
A sweet & funny story, sensational performances from a smokin'-hot cast and kick-a** rock & roll music all add up to an electrifying night of pure entertainment! Simply put, "Rock of Ages" ROCKS!!!
Breathtaking! Toronto is in for a surprise!
Three Words:
BEST SHOW EVER !!!
ROCKIN' GOOD TIME at Rock of Ages!
WOW!
Rock of Ages had us dancing in the aisles!
We Will Rock You, used to be my all time favorite. Rock of Ages blew it off the stage. The music is awesome, the story is fabulous, the lines are hilarious and the girls are hot.
Spectacular. Moving. This is musical talent at its best. The show is a must-see...and we cannot wait to see it again..and again...
An absolutely ROCKIN' GOOD TIME! I took my mom to see this show for an early mother's day present. Wasn't sure if she would know a lot of the songs but we both had a fabulous time singing and dancing along! And Aaron Walpole was OUTSTANDING! Hysterical! Would recommend this show to anyone!
just got back a few hours ago and can't stop thinking about it! This show not only lets you sing along but you can party along :D I laughed, I screamed, and I sang my heart out ... Toronto performers never fail to deliver a breathtaking experience ;)
A must see for any 80's rock fan or any rock fan! Amazing show! So Don't stop believing !!
OMG! My sister and I couldn't stop laughing and singing the whole way through! The most FUN show I've ever been to and it made me feel like a teenager again! I will definitely be seeing it a few more times!
Wow I lived that Rock Life in the 80's and I must say the show is BANG ON! The clothes the band pictures on the walls everything brought back memories of the best time of my life. Been spreading the news. Rock On
Absolutely astounding! I had the craziest time! ...And the cast - how do you even begin to describe the tremendous amount of talent they bring to the show?! Rock of Ages is such an intense show and it's easily one of the best musicals I've ever seen!
I have Seen the show twice now and I will definitely see it again and again this was the most outstanding show with a talented cast their voices will blow you away if you liked we will rock you then you will love rock of ages whether you grew up in the 80's or not this show will get you laughing singing along clapping cheering this is one show you do not want to Miss! Go now get your tickets!you will not be disappointed!!
I was very skeptical about what to expect from Rock of Ages - being a performer myself I am usually very critical and find I can't fully enjoy watching shows, BUT I can honestly say this is by far my favourite musical that I have seen in Toronto in years. I was SO entertained and found myself singing along with strangers in the audience - laughing out loud and overall having a good time. You really get into the story and leave feeling energized! Great job by an extremely talented Canadian cast!!!
Brilliant!!! Loved every minute of it, sang along to every song and my foot would not stop tapping. All the singers' voices are unbelievably good. Will see it again and again and again!!!!! :)
Saw the show on Saturday - what a good time!!!
Have been telling all my friends this is a must see!
This is an awesome show, great cast and I recommend that everyone see it!!!
This is an awesome show, great cast and I recommend that everyone see it!!!
I enjoyed every minute of it, and will definitely be seeing the show again. Yvan's talent will take him far beyond the confines of Toronto--his voice is incomparable. Elicia, Aaron, Peter, David, Cody & Victor--all amazing and wonderfully talented. The music, the comedy, the characters made for a thoroughly entertaining evening. The audience was on their feet, giving a standing ovation, long before the last song was over!!
What a tremendous live performance, the acting, the vocals, the amazing band, all formed a truly remarkable performance. We saw We Will Rock you and Yvan's performance in both are perfect. Congratulations to the cast and crew for a superb show that we will definitely bring more people to see.
My husband and I went with 25 of our friends to celebrate our 10th anniversary. EVERYONE loved the show. Best Show I have ever seen. Each song had such memories with it and the cast was fantastic. A MUST see!! AMAZING!!
This show rocked!!!! By far the best show I have ever been too. Definitely going to see again...
AMAZING!!!!!! Loved it, laughed, sang, danced. Still singing the songs 3 days later. Husband not a big musical show guy but he just loved Rock of Ages. Planning on seeing it again.
Amazing show! Definitely one of my two favourites! I can't wait to go again. Now that I am addicted to it, there is no telling how many times I will see it again. If you haven't seen this show, buy your tickets today!! Let's keep this show rocking in Toronto for as long, if not longer than We Will Rock You!
what a fabulous show!!! i have already seen it twice and will go a third time!!!
This show is absolutely FANTASTIC! Part musical theatre, part rock concert and completely fabulous!Can't wait to see it again!!!
The best musical I've ever seen! "Can't Fight This Feeling" is my memory song with my girl friend (we've been married for 23 years now), and watching Lonny and his boss sing it make me laugh out loud!
We saw the show yesterday and the entire cast exuded an astronomical amount of energy and talent. Elicia was a far cry away from Austria and the Swiss Alps and put on a phenomenal performance, thus proving her range of singing and acting. The most pleasant surprise was that there was an actual story to be told and the music fit perfectly. My hat is off to the entire cast and crew for a job well done!!!! This is definitely a show to be seen several times and each time you will feel just as good coming out of it as the first.
This show was FANTASTIC!!!!! Everyone should go see it. I have not laughed like that in a long time. All the cast were awesome.
Music and Scenery on a scale of
1 to 10, I give it 15 !!!!!!!!!!!
Saw the show last weekend with the girls. The entire cast was awesome, I laughed so much! Got to bring my husband to see this, best musical yet, congrats!
LOVED IT! Nothing like 80's ROCK! Best time I've had in a long time. I'm still singing!
Rock of Ages is an amazing and hilarious show - the performances were wonderful and entertaining - as were the mullet wigs!
Just saw the show today. LOVED IT! Great music!
I can't put into words. I LOVED the show!!!Great song, great cast, and great dancing. I was singing along with every song from atart to finish. I want to go back for 2nd and 3rd time!!!!!
I've seen the NYC production 41x and had the please of going to the final invited dress in Toronto. Amazing trip, amazing show! The cast was awesome to us. Some of us will be going back in July. Reminds me of my LA days, happiest days of my life. You leave the show with a permanent smile.
Like a time machine back to 1987, Rock of Ages transported me back to grade 11. It was by far the most fun I have ever had at the theatre. Every song brought back a great memory or two leaving a smile that wont fade for a while. Rock on!
I saw rock of Ages opening night-
It Was electryfing rock Music-
with Sheer heavy metal music-I loved all the actors including Ivan
P- his voice is always so Incrediably awesome-lots of amazing good Control of breathing and able to keep that Note going
your awesome Ivan- I totally enjoyed the cast loved all the music-
it was esepecially funny- when they said-quote"we couldn't get the rights to deff Leppard" un quote-lol
One of the BEST shows I've seen in a long time. I felt like I was at a rock concert, singing along with every song and laughing my head off the rest of the time. I already want to see it again!!!
I just saw Rock of Ages last night oh my what a show no show can have that much energy to it. It sure made me want to jump off my seat and sing those awesome songs. Elicia wow see i went at her birthday she has done it she is truly a sherry in my eyes and is very different from the sound of music which i saw 5 times. Yvan spectacular another hit role for him he was born to rock!!!! "Here i go again on my own going down the only road i ever known"!!!!!!!No words can describe what i'm feeling right now!!!
What else can I say but that I walked away understanding why my parents were in love with the 80's early 90's. Rock of Ages truley did melt the faces of many and I love it. Saw the show last night in Toronto and already looking into getting another ticket. Thank you for an amazing show full of laughter, fun, and of course rock. Yvan and Elicia you both are amazing.
Thank you again and ROCK ON!
Rock of Ages was ROCKtastic. It was uproariously funny. It is my new favourite musical. Lonny rules!
Was at the performance on the 28th. The chemistry between Yvan and Elicia was wonderful! The entire cast was outstanding. Will be first in line to purchase the Cdn. cast recording. We sat on the left aisle on row J, thanks to the people who sat to our left who had the courtesy to go around and come in from the other end of the row.
Totally AWESOME! I loved every single second! The cast was incredible and the music transported me back to the days of my teens. I was laughing and singing and "lovin every minute of it". The Finale had everyone up singing and clapping, and Lonny had me laughing from start to finish. I can't wait to see it again!!
Stunned. Brilliant. I couldn't believe my luck with my seat
this is a gem of a show. My face was sore from grinning
I saw Rock of Ages twice and I loved it!!! It was a high energy, over the top spectacle that had me laughing, singing and screaming out loud!!! I'm definitely coming back and I definitely plan on seeing this show many more times!!!
Saw the show on Tuesday April 27 with my 17 year old son. It was great with both of us laughing, almost,singing and had a great time; leaving very pumped.What other show could father and son go to and enjoy equally. Its a must see for all generations.
Great performances by all. Thank You.
I love going to the theatre, but seeing Rock of Ages was more than just an evening at a show. They made you feel you were back in the 80s and more incredibly a part of the whole thing. The atmosphere, music and performances were electric and hard to let go of when the curtain fell. Amazing!
Saw the show this week, and my first reaction when the house lights came back up was "When am I coming back?" :-D Mirvish Productions, you have done this one right!!!! The cast is beyond STELLAR! The band is SENSATIONAL! I haven't had this much fun going to the theatre since WWRY!!! I am promoting this to all my family and friends as a MUST SEE! I'll be back... you can count on it!
Rock of Ages, a scrumptious dish of 80's glamrock tributes served with a side of romantic comedy. If you caught Yvan Pedneault in We Will Rock You, then you know he doesn't disappoint. Cute and funny.....I give it 4 horn fingers up!!!!
Amazing! Awesome! Talented Cast!
The most I've laughed in a very long time!!!!
I went to the show on April 27 with my daughter and it was absolutely wonderful. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. The old songs certainly brought back a lot of great good time memories. I will recommend seeing it to all my friends.
Went to the show last night and it was AWESOME!!! I brought my son and we won lottery seats (FRONT ROW) WOOT WOOT!!! Everyone was amazing but Yvan and Aaron rocked it!!! I will definitely be going back.
Fantastic and fun, made me want to dust off my crimping iron and lace gloves!!!
saw the show tonight, it was awesome, worth every penny.
Wow, saw the performance last night and was blown away! Laugh out loud funny (especially Lonny), and great music! I've seen a lot of Toronto theatre productions, and this one is my absolute favourite, hands down!
Saw Rock of Ages last night. It was unbelievable!!! The music was great and talk about funny. If you're not singing out loud then you are laughing. This is a show you will see many many times. Yvan....wow...he can really hit the notes. I can't say enough but how great this show is.
I saw the show on April 22nd - it was amazing! I laughed and cheered right along with everyone else. The singing, dancing and sauntering done by the cast - especially Aaron Walpole (Lonny) - was wonderful. It was crude, rude and absolutely delightful and I especially enjoyed the improvisation! If it ever comes to Ottawa, I would love to take my daughter.
An absolute gem has fallen onto Toronto's theatre scene! Multi talented actors, hilarious, fabulous song choices. It IS the feel good theatrical experience of 2010! You can't help feeling for each and every character on the stage. I love when people take songs and weave them into a story like this. My entire family had a great time last night. I'm already figuring out how many times I can get back to see it and how many of my friends I'll get to come with me. Yvan Pedneault, we all knew you were talented from WWRY but boy, your pipes have exploded on this one. Crazy!! Let's also not forget Aaron Walpole (Lonny). Honey you do not need Idol, this is definately your calling. The theatre world would have a huge hole to fill had you gone on to win Idol. Kudos to all of you. I'm sure the run will be long, with deserved standing ovations after every performance.
I'm a picky theatre goer...and I loved every minute of this. The leads are fantastic, the band rocks out, the comedy hits all the right notes. It's a winner all around. Congrats!
WOW~!! Loved loved We Will Rock You, saw it 3 times!~ But this.. saw it April 24 and we can't wait to go back again and again!! So much fun and just so much incredible talent...WOW!!
Leave the kids at home for this one! Elicia has traded in her sweet Maria Von Trapp persona & rocks it out with a hilarious and phenomenally talented crew!
The show is packed full - and I will definitely be going back again!!! Awesome!!
After seeing We Will Rock You, I was wondering when another musical would come out that would be just as much fun - and it's finally here! I went to see Rock of Ages with my mom and we absolutely loved it. The music is amazing and it's the cast is brilliant. If you love 80's music you'll definitely love it. I wasn't around in the 80's and didn't know all the music, but the dancing and the energy from the cast makes you fall in love!
Can't wait to see it again!
I just saw the show an hour ago and all I can say is that this has been the best musical that I have ever seen. The music, the humour, the clothes, and the hair. Outstanding!!! For over two hours I felt like I was 18 years old again.
AMAZING! I can't wait to see it again!! I sang all the way home!
I was one of the first lucky audience members to see Rock of Ages on April 21st. I can't quit raving to my friends, family and co-workers how great this show is... who needs to got to Broadway when Toronto has a show likes this! Not since the "Mama Mia" years, has a show brought so much energy and excitement to the stage! I laughed until my sides split, and was in awe of the musical talent on stage. Not only are the leads Elicia and Yvan outstanding, the entire ensemble is sensational and not to be missed. RUN, don't walk to get your tickets. I'm already planning to go to the show again..and again..and again...
My daughter and I loved it! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. The singing was amazing - better than the Broadway soundtrack!
I went with my mother, mother-in-law and sister-in-law and we all loved the show!! Planning on going back to see it again. Great show, you don't want it to end.
Excellent Show!
Saw it on Opening night!
Very energetic and Great Music and characters! Highly recommended if you like 80's Rock n Roll!
Great show, loud & fun... Lonny was hysterical! I give it 4 1/2 Mullets out of Five!!!
This show is incredible. It took everything in me not to run up, push the performers off of the stage and rock out in my own world... That's what this show does to you.
Best ensemble cast Toronto has seen in a VERY long time.
Great Show!~
I wanted to see this show because I'm a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. Well, not only did I get an awesome version of Wanted Dead or Alive, but a bonus of an absolutely fantastic show. Great songs, amazingly sung, and a great story made from them. Loved Lonny - absolutely hillarious. Yvan was just as great as in We Will Rock You and my husband quite enjoyed the girls' "costumes". Would highly recommend this show to everyone!
We went on April 21st, were not disappointed. Fabulous show. Voices spectacular, story line anything but boring, loved the story teller, he was hilarious. Have been recommending this show to everybody we have talked to lately. PS we are old rockers 61 and 64.....rock on
PS: the band was great
The show is energetic, lively and fun! You leave with a huge smile on your face and a warm feeling in your belly - it is full of humour, fantastic voices and great music! If you enjoy Rock n Roll, it's the show for you!
Spectacular! Spectacular! No words in the vernacular for this amazing cast.
I saw the show 3 times already and it only started on April 20. I know a few people in the show from WE WILL ROCK YOU as I saw it 55 times! Whenever and if ever you're feeling down, go see the show. I can bet you will be feeling better once you leave! I always start an encore and it is always a good one when I'm there. I have met so many nice people from going to the theatre and I will continue going as long as I can! Thanks for bringing this to TORONTO. "WHAT'S GOING DOWN TORONTO!!!"<3
LOVED the show -- amazing cast and a definite blast from the past with the songs! Lonny keeps you laughing through the entire show. Great to see Yvan back in TO after WWRY. Would love to go see it again!
My friend Kerri got me tickets for my birthday, we saw it April 24th, in Toronto and OMG, we LOVED it!!! AMAZING show!!! I would love to go again!!!
What a fabulous production. Amazing cast & talent. I haven't enjoyed myself that much in "AGES"
Really inspires you to Don't Stop
Believin!!!
Absolutely loved it. Rock of Ages is now officially my favourite musical watched to date(and I have seen many). The music was unbelieveable. The cast incredible. The story line was hilarous(I was cracking up the whole show). Went to the show with my 62 year old mother in law and 70 year old aunt. They were singing the songs the whole way home. This show is great for all ages. Would love to see again...have a girls night out and dress in 80's clothes. I think it would be a blast.
P.S. Loved the narrator (forget his name). He truly made the show.
INCREDIBLE! Makes me want to be an 80's Video Vixon!!! Loved it, left me wanting more...
Fabulous show.. would not change a thng. lead singers are amazing, Aaron Wampole as Lonny is a perfect match. Will definately see it again.
Awesome high energy production.
Great balance of brilliant vocals, humour and story. Would definitely see it again!
More shows like this and my wife won't be able to keep me out of the theatre.
Miss it and you're a douche bag.
Fabulous show. High energy with lots of great vocals. Wanted more of an encore.
What an absolutely fabulous time....what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon....going back to my youth with great music, acting and comedy....totally rad!!!!!
This show is so much fun! And such an incredible cast! I want to see it again and again! Every musical should include "Dont Stop Believin'"!
My Husband and i went and saw it last night. It was an awesome show had a great time. We laughed sang even put you in the dancing mood. Do it all over again in a Heartbeat. Way to go Rock Of Ages you Rock. Great Performance.
People, listen up. I was there April 23rd. Rock of Ages is off the hook. It is one wild rock n roller coaster ride from start to finish. You will laugh, you will sing, you will get up and dance to the music. The cast displayed over the top awesome talent...you have to go just to see Lonny...he is a really cool character. Listen up, guys..the ladies are very sexy too.
Bravo Rock of Ages
This show was absolutely fabulous. Saw it on the second night, and the talent blew me away...equivalent to anything I've seen on Broadway or the West End. High energy, outstanding voices, great dancers and very funny. Bravo! I'll definitely see it again (and again).
Good-Bye Maria Von Trap.....HELLLLOOO Sherrie!
Elicia rocks and the show is fantastic!
Definately will attend again and tell my friends! BRAVO !!!
This is a great show and everyone should see it. I left wanting to go back and see it again. I probably will.
Saw the show last night... WOW! Can't believe how polished this show is after only 2 performances. This show is going to be in Toronto a long long time! RUN.. don't walk to get your tickets! Haven't enjoyed a show this much since the "Mama Mia Years". A fantastic cast,out of the park vocals from Elicia and Yvan and an all around Rockin' time..
My son & I came to see the show on the Rock of Ages bus from NY. It was a great time. If you love 80's rock or just love to laugh you need to see this show. Toronto is one lucky city!
Saw it last night... awesome!
Everyone had a blast ... this show rocks !
Victor A young, we worked together at stratford over 20 years ago, happy to see you again. Last time we corresponded you had a theatre in California. Will try and go to rock of ages and come backstage after the show and say howdy do!
I am looking forward to seeing Elicia again
I cannot wait to see Rock of Ages it rocked out hard on Broadway I cannot wait to see it in Toronto. I would love to see Elicia Mackenzie playing Sherrie and Yvan Ped. playing Drew Canada Loves you guys!!!
