Following in the footsteps of "Mamma Mia!" and "Jersey Boys," "Rock of Ages" is the latest jukebox musical to grace the Broadway stage. NY1's Roma Torre filed the following review.

"Rock of Ages" is not for everyone, but I bet a lot of people who wouldn't expect to like this goofy musical will be smitten. Count me in that group.

This jukebox musical featuring vintage rock tunes from the likes of Twisted Sister and Bon Jovi is sure to turn off some theater purists. But it's so cleverly staged and impressively performed that it's an irresistible, offbeat trip of a show that hits all the right notes.

It's like "Mamma Mia" meets "Xanadu," but it's plenty original in its own right - and I'm not just referring to the beer sales in the aisles and the giveaway flashlights. They've captured the controlled chaos of a rock concert, while maintaining Broadway standards.

The performances are all rock solid. Set in a Sunset Strip rock club owned by aging hipster Dennis, played by a terrific Adam Dannheisser. The club's sound guy is off-the-wall narrator Lonny, played by Mitchell Jarvis, a Jack Black-lookalike and one heck of a mullet-sporting clown.

The romantic lead, Drew, is a wannabe rock star who falls for Sherrie, an aspiring actress fresh off the bus. The pair, played by "American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis and Amy Spanger,are sensational.

James Carpinello plays a buff and nasty rock star who threatens to get in the middle of the lovebirds. And a pair of German urban planners intent on shuttering the club supplies the main conflict.

The flimsy story provides the creative team with a decent framework on which to hang a bunch of familiar tunes, and they do it with tongue planted firmly in-cheek.

It's a harmonious collaboration across the board. Bookwriter Chris D'Arienzo combines a raw sense of humor with a pitch perfect grasp of the 1980s glam metal-rock culture. Director Kristin Hanggi and choreographer Kelly Devine inject sincerity into the silliness while energetically shaping the material into a sexy, feel-good romp. Everyone seems to be having a blast in this show and it's contagious.

I have to concede that "Rock of Ages" is bound to divide audiences along generational lines, but I can also say a show that features this much talent is ageless.
