“Rock of Ages”
April 13-17
Clowes Hall
What I’ll be hoping for when I see “Rock of Ages” for the first time isn’t a musical for the ages. And not a resonant dramatic experience.

And while I’m in no hurry to ever again hear “We Built This City,” at least I can do it in the company of former American Idler Constantine Maroulis, who re-creates the part he launched on Broadway. Details here.
The Joffrey Ballet

April 8-16
IU Musical Arts Center

I don’t want to talk you out of seeing it live, but if you absolutely can’t get to Bloomington—or if you want to see it live on Friday and compare it with the Saturday performance, check out the live stream of either or both of the first two performances here. Details on the production here.
