Say, I must be the one person in the Pittsburgh area who paid to see the new musical Rock of Ages (RoC)! It’s big, loud and a hard PG-13! (So don’t take the kiddies!) All the tunes rock, and all the big name stars roll; especially, Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand, who provide comic relief. The duet they sing when they fall in love is a pants-wetter!  It’s an inside joke casting these two bun men as gays, but that’s nothing compared to casting Tom Cruise as the sex-addicted womanizer and rock god, Stacee Jax!( His goofy cowboy hats and fur coats will do little to quell rumors about his sexual orientation.) I’m not a big fan of musicals, but this one is worth the price of admission! The scene in which Cruise seduces scanty panty and bra clad Malin Ackerman is worth double the price of admission.
