Something WICKED this way comes as part of the exciting Zions BankBroadway Across America Utah 2011-2012 season of performing arts events and Broadway shows.

Five-time Tony Award Nominated ROCK OF AGES will make its Northeast Ohio debut when the show rocks Akron for two performances only at The University of Akron's E. J. Thomas Hall on November 29 & 30, 2011.

ROCK OF AGES, currently playing QPAC's Lyric Theatre, will close two weeks earlier than originally planned on December 4.

The fine art of the mash-up has been a hallowed tradition that has been explored to a significant extent on GLEE since the very beginning, so a night filled with only such two-stack tracks would seem to be the ideal way to celebrate the show's 300th musical performance to date, which came in last night's "Mash-Off" episode. The mash-ups blasted off in a grand manner and the carefully-constructed couplings were often quite brilliant twists on the sounds of the original singles - the spectacular 300th performance showcase of Adele's "Rumor Has It' and "Someone Like You" acting as the musical apotheosis of the evening. Mixing disparate elements from the incredibly diverse musical catalogs of Adele, Lady Gaga, Hall & Oates, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Van Halen, Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle, "Mash-Off" managed to shine a light on the couples singing the musical mergings, as well as provide the high entertainment value implicit in any episode so far on the resoundingly strong third season of GLEE.

New Line Cinema's film version of the smash hit Broadway musical 'Rock of Ages' is currently filming under the direction of Adam Shankman (HAIRSPRAY). Tom Cruise, who will star as Stacee Jaxx in the film, recently chatted with the LA Times about putiing on his dancing shoes for the film. Cruise told LAT: 'I had started dancing because I was inspired by my wife. She kept saying, 'You've got to do a musical sometime. Kate's a dancer, so she would say, 'Let's go to dance class,' and she would take us and that's how I kind of came up with the idea of Les Grossman doing hip-hop. And then to take it to this level with this? It was really fun.'

The musical that has been dubbed 'an arena -rock love story set to mind blowing, face melting rock hits of the 80's' is a pretty fair description of what took place at the Merriam Theater on Opening Night, October 18th.
