When Def Leppard, Poison, and Styx wrote our favorite killer jams of the 80s, they probably hadn't an idea that, 30 years down the line, they'd be a part of one of Broadway's biggest rock/jukebox musicals to ever be performed.
The Rock of Ages cast jammed to a full house of glam metal music lovers at their opening night at the Adrienne Arsht Center last night. VIP ticket holders were strongly encouraged to "dress the part" so they could be a part of the show.
Naturally, Cultist insisted on making its cameo (there was a biggest hair contest, can you blame us?). And while we didn't make it on stage (neither did anyone else,) the hair band rock patrons who did glam up left quite the lasting impression on us.
When she woke up this morning, the only thing on her mind was the marriage of neon and black.
An AC/DC fan and his shiny red spandex-lovin' gal pose right before the show started.
This guy offered to get up from his chair to take his photo, but we insisted he looked too cool sitting down.
A couple rocked those leather jackets like their lives depended on it.
One of our favorites of the evening, these two gals went all out with wigs, fishnets, and studded ankle boots to warrant their front row and center seats.
In the musical, Regina (pronounced like "vagina," no, seriously), is a freedom-of-assembly-preaching, peace-not-war-shouting hippy -- circa late 1970s. These two audience members did her character proud.
A trio of divas pose channeling their inner Madonna-meets-jazzersists. We were especially in love with the neon pointy-toed pumps.
Cultist actually came back to this guy twice because the first photo of him didn't come out so great. The second, though, with his date and a prop from the musical, was perfect.
And here she is: The winner of the evening's biggest hair award. Indeed, we were grossly jealous and fully intend on billing Cultist for all our used-up cans of hairspray.
