‘Rock Of Ages Hollywood’ And The Plan To Take The Dinner Theatre Franchise Worldwide

www.forbes.com: “People said, ‘Wait a minute. You’re taking a Broadway show, and a restaurant, two of the riskiest things to invest in, and you’re combining them?’ It raised eyebrows,” confessed Rock of Ages founder and producer, Matt Weaver.

Following previews, his latest venture, Rock of Ages Hollywood, opened its doors in a specially built performance venue, including a 250-seat theater, on the iconic Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It’s named after the venue at the center of the show, The Bourbon Room.

While I know some people will very much disagree with me, I am a fan of dinner theater. Why not sit at a table and eat while enjoying your favorite show? People go to dinner and a movie or dinner and a show, but why not do both at once. With that, Rock of Ages is one of my favorite rock musicals and musicals overall. While I have not gotten the chance to experience "Rock of Ages Hollywood," I hope to be able to see it soon. On top of that, I wish there was more dinner theater here in Pittsburgh. At home, dinner theater was easy to find, here, not so much. I haven't seen Rock of Ages in a while but I remember it being such a fun show overall, and I can image it is a fun dinner show. Overall, I hope to be able to enjoy more dinner theater in the near future.
