It's A Knockout! Everything You Need To Know About 'Rocky The Musical'
So, it sounds like Rocky The Musical is going to be pretty darn great, if the critics are anything to go by, anyway. The musical has been written by the original Rocky, Sylvester Stallone, and is based on the 1976 movie of the same name (obviously without ‘The Musical’ tagged on to the end).
The finale fight, which sees Rocky battle the reigning world champion, is described by Hollywood Reporter’s David Rooney as “so visceral and exhilarating that it sends the audience out on a high”, adding “Any grumblings about the musical’s shortcomings give way to open-mouthed wonder in its spectacular final 20 minutes”. Well, that’s a rave review if ever we heard one! Although if we were reviewing a musical written by Sly Stallone we’d probably be complimentary about it too, he’s pretty hard. Just kidding! From the sounds of things Rocky The Musical will be a smash hit and we can’t wait to see it.
