WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
ROOMS: A Rock Romance begins in 1970s Glasgow where Monica, an ambitious singer/songwriter meets Ian, a reclusive rocker. The two quickly become entangled creatively and romantically.
Their music takes them first to London and ultimately to New York City, where they discover the vibrant new music scene and create an intimate partnership, their love deepening while their personalities drive them apart. A five-piece rock band accompanies these two characters as they search for the balance between ambition and happiness.

Rooms - a rock romance
Mr. Perlman,
Its obvious that you did not see the same show everyone else did! Maybe you took a left at the end of the stairs instead of a right and went into the lounge where they were doing bad karaoke? Or maybe NYC has left you so cynical that you can not appreciate a storyline that has something to do with real life? It is completely obvious that when 300 people walk out of the theater cheering 600 for me, I have seen it twice and one grouchy person gives the show a bad review, perhaps this person needs a career change. Please remember that the purpose of a show is to entertain, and if the entire audience walks away entertained/full of fun, then show is successful and has met its purpose. Maybe you should try going again, checking the bad mood at the box office, and enjoying some phenomenal music and realize that most of life is cliche. I am obviously tired of critics ruining good shows.

Paul Scott Goodman knows how to start a show. The first riffs of his score for
ROOMS, the new two-handed tuner at New World Stages, pulse with infectious theatre rock energy. Unfortunately, this self-styled "rock romance" almost immediately turns into a mirthless melodrama full of backstage clichés not even worthy of an episode of Behind the Music.
The show's set-up is simple: Monica (Leslie Kritzer) and Ian (Doug Kreeger) meet in Glasgow in the late 1970s. She's a Scottish-Jewish-Princess/lyricist and he's a misanthropic mope/composer. (Thudding dialogue quickly intrudes with a couple of British cusses to let us know we're not dealing with Americans.) Yet, somehow, Goodman (who wr[...]
