A night of jammin’ and slammin’ with the Rock of Ages
It was a night I didn’t see coming.
Fact: I’m not a rock fanatic. I’m unfamiliar with
most of the famous rock hits. And I’m not acquainted with rock stars. I’m not
into excessively loud music and heart pounding beats. But after watching a
musical heavy with rock, I realized I could do a compromise with the genre.
Last Thursday, Oct. 30, Rock of Ages premiered
once again in Manila. Held at the Meralco Theater, it is a musical that
highlights the dream of a simple boy at Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Of
course, the story concluded with the usual happy ending, but the way the
characters dealt with their individual issues is moving.
