ARTS&ENTERTAINMENT

RockofAges: TheJukeboxMusical

The late 1980’s were an incredible time, and being stationed in Europe in my late teens and early 20s, I had some magical times, and a lot of the music portrayed in The Players Theatre Company production of ‘Rock of Ages,’ I actually lived in the nightclubs and beaches of West Germany and other countries. It was a time, 1987, when bulky boomboxes or Walkmans were the portable music playersoftheday,andwere a necessary addition to providing enjoyment to wherever you happened to be. ThePlayersTheatredid a wonderful job in helping bringbackalotofmemories for those old enough to remember, and provided an environment for the young, thoseoldenoughtoattenda showdesignedforadults,to absorb new memories and getaglimpseofthepastand the music that their ancestorsgrewupwith.

RofA has the feel of a nightclub, with a live band, ‘TailorMaide, ’ which playeditspartinbringinga pieceofWestHollywoodto rock Conroe, in the form of ‘The Bourbon Room.’ Of course there is a storyline involved with the music inbetweenthedialogue. It’sa busy, involved show, with things going on all over the place. Themusiciskey and itwasperformedadmirably

Some of the songs really raised some goosebumps I can tell you, bringing memories of the time dang near to real life. ‘Wanted Dead or Alive sung by Stacee Jaxx (Colton Land), Sherrie Christian (Meredith Fisk), along with the ensemble was especially touching. You could feel their energy, the lifeforce they were emitting to the audience,inexpressingone of the best songs, I feel, of the 1980s. Drew Boley (Connor Evers) and Christian in ‘Waiting For a GirlLikeYou,’performeda wonderful duet, which of course is totally unique and againwassimplymagic.

While Drew struggles to write new songs, Sherrie supports him to go after his passion. Reginabeginsher quest to protest the raising of the strip. After calling back to Kansas, Sherrie discovers her feelings for Drew, who supports her dream Drew finds his wingslyricwise,andcredits Sherrie for the feat. They meetlaterforapicnicbefore Boley opens for Jaxx, and thesuggestionoffriendship ruins the moment. Stacee Jaxx s arrival at the BR causes a stir with Sherrie becoming entranced and hooking up with him in the men’s room. Boley’s set impresses a record producer, after a knocked out Jaxx has his stage time finished by the young man. Sherrie is fired after her betrayal, and Drew writes her off. Regina continues her protest, while Christian winds up working for strip owner Justice (Shanada Poulos).

Things are up in the air before the break, but that was life back then. You let life play out, and let the chips wind up where they may. But it would be interesting to see where everyone would be today DidDrewandSherrie’slove last? How did Franz and Reginawindup?

Theactingwasgreat,the singing was superb I haven’t known Director Crickett Pepper to submit anything subpar I really loved the set, and lighting. Itreallydidlookthepartofa Sunset Strip dingy nightclub. Thedancingwasgreat with Dance Captain Eli

Williams not only performing flawlessly, but training her charges in putting in credible performances to others on stage whose strong suit may not be dance.

I know it's a big ask, but if I could have changed anything, I would have had the band go into the studio and lay down the entire track in studio, with the band simulating the music on stage. I think it would have been that much better, but I know cost wise with community theater it's just not possible But still TailorMaide rocked the house, and the actors did their part in singing their heartsout,andIwouldhave lovedtostayafterwardsand talkwiththeactors.
