Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2097 KP) rated Tell Me, Pretty Maiden (Molly Murphy Mysteries, #7) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
As 1902 comes to a close, Molly is trying to balance multiple cases, including finding out who is threatening a Broadway star making a comeback. The story moved forward quickly, and the characters were at their best.

From Broadway to big screen
Rock of ages takes us on the story of a small town girl who is living in a lonely world, who comes to the bright light big city of Los Angeles only to get robbed and have to work at one of the most famous bars on the strip. This movie follows her story about life in the big city and living amonungst rock and roll during the 80's. She is up, she is down, and rises to top again but not in the way you think.
On Broadway Dee Snyder from Twisted sister played the lead character of Stacy Jaxx the famed rock and roller, who is drunk but is so popular who cares right. Our switch to Tom Cruise to film was not the right person to sing. He can act but, if we remember top gun lets be real.
Other major actors and singers who grace the silver screen in this movie are
Alec, Baldwin, Russel Brand, Catherine Zeta Jones, Julianne Hough and Mar J Blige.
The music and sound track were worth seeing the movie especially if you saw it on Broadway but this was yet another way to let america get to see a show that was only in NY.

Costumes (1 more)
Use of full theater
I took my kids to see this at least 12 years ago and we loved it. No matter where you sit, you are bound to see the performers up close and personal as some walk through the aisles.
The songs and costumes were great. It was a perfect introduction to Broadway for my young kids.

Aug 7, 2019 (Updated Aug 7, 2019)
Remains one of my favorite movies in any genre.
No, I didn't watch the ridiculous TV reboot or the short-lived Broadway show, nor will I. The original holds up just fine with its commentary on society and political correctness. Christian Slater does some of his best work, and Winona Ryder can do no wrong. Plus, baby Shannen Doherty! (she's just 17 here!)
An absolute classic in my book.

Not as good as West End or Broadway but still fantastic!
Every now and then, a Kinky Boots song appears on my Spotify shuffle. I'm particularly fond of Land of Lola and Raise You Up. The costumes, the songs, the energy! It was so brilliant! We were on our feet the whole time! It was like watching a live Drag Show and I'm already a huge fan of Rupauls Drag Race. Lol was played by Kayi Ushe, a stunningly tree of a man who made the most gorgeous Lola. His voice was entrancing! And Charlie was played by Joel Harper-Jackson, and was absolutely perfect in playing a shy awkward man who turned into a confident sexy shoe maker! And I only remember her because she was on Corrie but Paula Lane played Charlie's love interest. Overall it was a brilliant show and as much as it may have been better on Broadway or the West End, I'm proud to have watched it in my home town and support the fabulous actors!
