Last Tuesday was our Opening Night! And what a night it was. We had a 7:00 p.m start so that there would be enough time to party later but we didn't even have to wait. The party started the second the band entered the stage.
The audience was full of industry people, friends & family, 80's Rockers, RoA Broadway cast-members, critics, and more! And even though they all came from different walks of life, they all had the same reaction to our show and it was LOUD!
After the show, the cast hopped on the Rock of Ages bus with champagne a-flowin' and arrived at The Sheraton Center Ballroom with photographers waiting at the Red Carpet to take our pictures.
We then entered the ballroom to more pictures and after finally getting some time to grab a drink or a bite of food, Constantine Maroulis (Drew on Broadway from American Idol fame) rocked out for a bit with our very own Peter Deiwick and Aaron Walpole joining him.
Now...we cannot forget two other performers who rocked out with us; Joel Hoekstra from Night Ranger and Jim Pellerin from Survivor battled it out guitar-styles after Jim belted out Eye of the Tiger and right before the whole cast of RoA joined in on the extended version of Beaver Hunt and finally, Don't Stop Believin'!
After drinking, dancing, and laughing all night, we ended up in a Sheraton Hotel room where eventually, we woke up.
Like that wasn't enough to make it a crazy week? Nope.
The next day, I came in to start some fittings and rehearsals for the character of Drew, which I understudy, then did a show. About 6 hours after we finished the show, we all met again at Breakfast Television for a 6:oo a.m performance.
With Opening, understudy rehearsals, Breakfast Television, reviews, and interviews still happening...it's pretty damn crazy over at Rock of Ages.
If you want to join in the crazy, visit the Rock of Ages Toronto website for more details or TicketKing for tickets!
Until next time!
Keep living, Keep breathing. Breath in the negative, live out the positive. And everything will be.
