Though on paper a Broadway musical incorporating 1980s arena rock songs into a comic love story sounded like a long shot, ROCK OF AGES became a surprise hit, striking just the right mix of nostalgia, outright silliness, and healthy respect for the glory of big-hair hits. The Original Broadway Cast recording was mixed by Michael Barbiero (Guns n` Roses`s APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION and Metallica`s AND JUSTICE FOR ALL) and the veteran engineer gives extra sonic heft to the recordings, resulting in one of the few cast albums that actually rocks. Though cast member ex-American Idol Constantine Maroulis and friends re-making all-time classic songs like Pat Benatar`s "Shadows of the Night" and Journey`s "Don`t Stop Believing" may seem like musical heresy to some fans, the actors and musicians imbue the proceedings with a sense of fun and party-time abandon that keeps the pyrotechnic fires of `80s rock burning bright all the way down the Great Whitesnake Way.
