My mom thinks I should write a book about living a big lifestyle on a little budget. She was especially impressed that we went to see Rock of Ages this week completely for free, thanks to Yelp. It's a pretty good connection, I'd say.
Yelp started us out at Hard Rock Cafe, which was the perfect spot to get us pumped to hear some 80's hairbands. Neither of us knew exactly what to expect from the musical, but were smiling through the whole two-and-a-half hour show.
Rock of Ages takes place on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles when rock music's hub was being threatened by LA's mayor. As the characters were struggling for stardom or their strip, they worked in favorites- Time After Time, Wanted, or Don't Stop Believing. There's something about 80's music that makes me feel as if I was a part of it. Maybe it's because I was living just miles away from Sunset Strip in the mid 80's.
Nathan turned to me multiple times and said, "This is waaaay better than Billy Elliot." I think I agree.
