I saw this on broadway at the very first preview. They so many issues to open this show. They night before which was suppose to be the first preview had to be cancelled because the theater lost power. So, they brought in a generator truck to power the show the night I went. The director, Alex Timbers, came out before and made a little speech basically telling us that anything could happen. The entire creative team was standing in the back of the orchestra section on pins and needles. In spite of all that, the show went off without too many issues. The audience seemed to be full of Rocky fans and loved it. Sly Stallone was there and he came out on stage and made a speech after the show. It was a great night. That being said, in the history of musical theater this would not go down as one of the best. Looking at from a purely musical theater lens, it has issues. What it does have is nostalgia and heart!
I remember seeing it for a school trip. I didn't process the dialogue minus "BULLSHIT", "happiness" in one song, and the training montage beginning of Act 2 with Eye of the Tiger in the background but I still understood the story and I loved the set and how the near end of Act 2 is set up.
Saw the original one in Hamburg with the fabulous singers Drew Sarich and Wietske van Tongeren😍 Unbelievable the first german musical that is performed on the Broadway! The adaption of this musical is really impressive and awesome. Absolutely love it, even when it isn't in my mother tongue anymore. My fear was that the style of the song change because they could only translate it, but they didn't. The emotional songs are phenomenal in English and German😄 The musical is the best one I've ever seen in my whole life!
Seriöse Person Ich gehe jetzt einfach mal - deinem Namen nach zu urteilen - davon aus, dass du Deutsch kannst 😉. Ich habe das Musical leider nur einmal im Hamburg, dafür aber sieben mal in Stuttgart gesehen, und ich war - und bin immer noch - begeistert von dem Musical. Ich verstehe echt nicht, wir Stage es absetzen konnte. Mein persönlicher Lieblingsrocky war ja Nikolas Heiber. Als ich zum ersten Mal in Hamburg im Musical war, war ich zuerst etwas enttäuscht, dass ich ,,nur" die Zweitbesetzung hatte, aber er hat mich sofort begeistert. Ein echt super Stück.
This is an amazing musical, it’s so sad that the show didn’t last as long on Broadway as it did for 3-4yrs in Germany. I wish the musical would’ve at least done a production in Philadelphia. I would’ve seen that especially considering the story takes place there and has a lot of real life references. Hopefully, there’ll be a Broadway Revival maybe someday 🤞
We are producing this show in Philadelphia at the Walnut Street Theatre. Performances begin Oct 4th. All the bogus references are fixed ("south side" vs. "South Philly", etc). It's a great show.
@@siobhanruane that’s cool, hopefully it will be a good show. Any chance of the production being professionally recorded? I’ve always wanted to see an original production of the show and I don’t live in Philly or Pennsylvania.
The Dates For Broadway Show I Have Is Rocky 8/16/14 Second To The Last Performance. And Hamburg I Have Three. December 16, 2012, May 29, 2013, June 3, 2014
Casting a show isn’t about finding someone that’s identical to a film portrayal, it’s about finding someone that can be an adequate vessel for telling the story. These people are undeniably talented and if you have so much to say about it, why don’t you try playing one of these characters? See how much the world will criticize your performance like you’re someone that knows anything about the art of acting.

Adrian’s voice is so pretty and the song too. Good acting

This play looks horrible. None of the play actors sound anything like the original characters at all, or don’t even look like them
They literally do what are you talking about?
