Las Vegas edition of 'Rock of Ages' musical opening at The Venetian
Entertainment / Neon - ReviewJournal.com: Three creators of "Rock of Ages" are lunching with reporters in the Bourbon Room, a casino-floor lounge The Venetian named and themed in honor of the fictional rock club in their show.
Such a tribute didn't seem likely when "Rock of Ages" tire-kicked Las Vegas in a 2006 test run at the Flamingo. But that changed when the jokey "jukebox" pastiche of '80s rock songs became a Broadway hit in 2009.

Well I hope it is doing well in Las Vegas. I have not seen the theatrical production but I did see the movie. It was interesting to say the least. There is some irony that they tried it in Las Vegas prior to become a big deal on Broadway and it flopped. Just goes to show you that you should never stop trying and that most shows probably can be successful somewhere, if not everywhere at some point. The music is a lot of fun and the music was fun in the movie. Hopefully this can be a success and keep making money.
