Rock of Ages, Chris D'Arienzo’s jukebox musical which runs from May 2-18 at the Axelrod Theater, has had many incarnations since its 2005 Los Angeles premiere, including Broadway, the West End, and a brilliant 2012 film starring Tom Cruise.

A juke box musical consists of pre-existing songs which are melded into a script to tell a story. The songs, in contrast to lyrics and music, which are specifically integrated into a traditional musical’s story, don’t always smoothly transition into the juke box tale.

For me, an exciting evening in the theater and in the world of ballet.
The name Ballet'X' connotes a modern term denoting non-gendered, non-binary, and inclusivity. I instantly discerned that this company was on top of the latest consciousness, and has incorporated not only this, but the latest trend of mixing forms of dance together, the latest in staging and technology, and superbly trained young, up-and-coming dancers. The program for the evening consisted of three new works, by three diverse, world-renowned choreographers, all set on the dancers in the company.
This young company, based in Philadelphia, is amazingly together with an eclectic repertoire, presenting a clean, fully executed array of interesting choreography and interpretations.
