Tonight is the official opening night for the new musical Rock of Ages! Oliver Tompsett tweeted this morning that he was already on his way to do an interview with the BBC, so promotion has well and truly begun. The musical won five Tony nominations on Broadway and a film is already in the making. Rock of Ages also stars Amy Pemberton, Justin Lee Collins and Shayne Ward and you can see it in the Shaftesbury theatre.
Five Fast Facts
1. An airhostess asked Justin Lee Collins, who plays Dennis Dupree in the musical, if he was in Rock of Ages - even before he knew about the show.
2. The film version currently in production stars Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx and Russell Brand as Lonnie and Alec Baldwin as Dennis Dupree.
3. As a West End first the audience can order beers during the performance, pass along your money down the row to the usher and hope you get your beer back!
4. Oliver Tompsett, the wannabe rocker Drew, has actually signed a record deal with Warner Bros and his debut album is out soon.
5. In a recent interview with broadwayworld.com Amy Pemberton described Rock of Ages as: “ It’s just the most fun, buzzing, enjoyable night out. You’ll laugh the whole way through!” - We agree with her!

I had to correct them and say Oliver already released his debut album in 2008
I don't mind us being on the EPK, but BBC would be a bit much 
(how was Oliver looking??)
