Re: Rock of Ages
For example:canadian_turtle wrote:They attracted big name stars for characters either not in the musical or part of the ensemble which makes it seem like they're doing different things with the story/characters.
Catherina Zeta-Jones as Patricia Whitmore
Paul Giamatti as Paul Gill
Who are those characters even? And trust me, I know all the names...

I was thinking he may be, after I reread what I copied.

Re: Rock of Ages
i dont know why they bother with names. Make it good and it will sell.
I never knew any of the stars of West Side Story and Bugsy Malone before I saw the musicals, but they worked because they were made perfectly.
So I really do hope they change some plans of casting, it would be just odd to see ... Ethan Hunt showhorned into a musical for the sake of it. Get some good young guys to do it, make it well and it will be a far bigger hit than it becoming another Tom Cruise vehicle.

Re: Rock of Ages
I think that's what attracs me to the musical so much as well. I had only heard of Justin Lee Collins before but to me he's unrecognisable as Dennis (just because I didn't know him well) so I can truly see the cast as the characters rather than as whatever big thing they've done before this.

Re: Rock of Ages
so true. I actually was trying to work out which one he was, not that I watch his shows, luckily I couldnt recongise him...but the anonymity really helped you watch him, more so than knowing who is was (tbh, people recognise most celebrities these days for sucking rather than swooning over).canadian_turtle wrote: I had only heard of Justin Lee Collins before but to me he's unrecognisable as Dennis (just because I didn't know him well) so I can truly see the cast as the characters rather than as whatever big thing they've done before this.
PS sucking = being crap, not anything else

Re: Rock of Ages
Is Mayor Mike Whitmore a real character? Does he sing? Intrigued to see Bryan Cranston sing...the man's so diverse though.
