On Friday night, I was one of 14 women that went to the Shaftsbury Theatre in London to see the West End Musical "Rock Of Ages", and what a show it was.

The story is based around The Bourbon bar on Sunset strip, in the 80s, Which is owned by Dennis Dupree (Justin Lee Collins), whom is desperate to keep the place open after being made an offer for it by Hertz and Franz whom want to demolish it. In Desperate measures he asks the Rock Band Arsenal with their lead singer Staycee Jaxx (Shayne Ward) to play their last gig there.

Its also a love story about Drew a want to be Rock star whom works as a waiter in the Bourbon bar and Sherrie a want to be actress, whom comes to LA to find fame, but she gets a little mixed up with Staycee Jaxx.

Its a real fun filled musical, that is full of brilliant rock songs, from Bonjovi, Whitesnake, Journey to name a few, from the 80s, fantastic humour, Spandex trousers and men with Long hair and great cast that sings and dances throughtout the the show. Fantastic entertainment, that makes you want to join in.

I would certainly recommend that you go and see this show, you will Not be disappointed.
