Sorry, Can’t Resist: PPTOPA’s Gleeful ‘Something Rotten’ Isn’t

Slow Burn’s Rock Of Ages Isn’t Your Grandma’s Musical
If there’s any way to get folks to the theater who don’t usually go, Slow Burn’s Rock of Ages can do it. Director/choreographer Patrick Fitzwater knows exactly how to squeeze every inch of character out of this cheesy, goo fest of a jukebox musical to entertain aforementioned non-theater types, who can’t wait to re-live the glory days of the 1980s, of which the soundtrack of the show relies.
