LOL! If you hated Chicago, Hairspray, and Mamma Mia - definitely skip Rock of Ages. (I probably shouldn't admit that I own all three of those on DVD, should I??)
I tend to look at Hollywood musicals the same way that I do romance novels, I give them a lot of lee-way. Very few are any good. They go for the pretty, not the talent.
You should have seen Burlesque. Which was fun, but I don't recommend.
Eh...I live in NYC and I can't afford 90% of these plays, time or money wise. Alice and I were discussing it over email - she loves theater too, but is exhausted and has no time. I'd love to see Book of Mormon - but it would cost me over 130 bucks.
