*LAND OF CLEVE REVIEW: *
*Hair Band Musical *
*'Rock of Ages' **at Cain Park *
*Cranks the Speakers Up to 11*

The Tony-nominated show is well-written by Chris D’Arienzo, and features
classic tunes by hair bands such as Bon Jovi, Styx, Journey, Whitesnake,
Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, and Twisted Sister (with
excellent arrangements and orchestrations by Ethan Popp).

Director Joanna May Hunkins sure knows how to throw a party! She stages the
show like a rock concert, complete with an ever-present band, killer
lighting, sky-high speakers and mosh pits for adventurous audience members.
Music direction by Jordan Cooper keeps the tuneage tight and tenacious
throughout the night. Choreography by Kevin D. Marr II is straight outta
MTV's heyday and lots of fun to watch.

The totally rad ensemble features headliners Shane Lonergan and Lauren
Ashley Berry as star-crossed lovers, Douglas F. Bailey II and Phil Carroll
as closer-than-normal bar managers, Neely Gevaart and David Turner as
unlikely allies, Connor Bogart O’Brien as the coolest singer on the planet,
Trinidad Snider as a musical madam, and Kevin Kelly as a singing, scheming
developer. Other talented performers involved in the show include Lavour
Addison, Tony Heffner, Grace Hunt, Meredith Zahn, Natalie Girard, Brooke
Turner, Alec Chock Irion, Tekla Gaughan and David James Grant.

You don't need a backstage pass to appreciate the cool Sunset Strip
atmosphere created by the artistic staff at Cain Park. Trad A Burns is
responsible for the awesome scenic and lighting design, Tesia Benson adds
colorful costumes, and Carlton Guc supplies the super sound...
