Rock of Ages just might be the most shamelessly pandering musical since, oh, the late 1980s. It revels in boobie and poop jokes and stratospherically over-the-top characters. And it's that very shamelessness that makes the show work. If you're going to set a musical in the 1980's rock era, you might as well go as big as conceivably possible in portraying that period. Recommended. (review by Catey Sullivan)
