Click here for more information on this production that runs through June 3rd.
"Full of plenty of R-rated adult situations, the crowd-pleasing Rock of Ages is about as far away from classic, family-friendly musicals... as you can get. While it has a score that includes some of the best-known pop and rock songs of the 1980s, it also has a fairly predictable plot and stereotypical characters. So, it's best to leave any lofty expectations at the door and just let the sweet story...the hilarity of the material, and the great rock songs, wash over you to get the most enjoyment out of this campy and sordid show. Mesa Encore Theatre's production features talented leads who know how to get the humor and heart out of the material and sure-footed direction along with some impressive creative elements........

"The musical sequences are the life blood of the production. Whatever reservations you may have from time to time are forgotten when a number kicks in... Look past some of the budget restricting shortcomings and you’ll enjoy yourself. .." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
