Review: Rock of Ages, the Octagon by Jasmine Paige Richards
Full of 1980s rock classics, hence the name, Rock Of Ages is certainly not your average musical theatre piece, but Splinters 25 put on a great performance with excellent principals and energetic choreography. Mark Holmes was brilliant as narrator Lonny Barnett who broke the sacred fourth wall in such a clever way.
Adam Walker and Jess Curr were fabulous as Drew Boley and Sherrie Christian, with good vocal and acting talent - Curr especially. The songs were performed with lots of energy and the audience was clapping along. Each cast member was giving it their all and it was undoubtedly a feel-good night. For me, the only downside was the lack of precision with harmonies, as ensemble voices didn’t blend as much as I would have liked. That being said, I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
