Archinect - Malibu Architecture + Design 2017-08-23T21:16:43-04:00 https://archinect.com/blog/article/82701877/why-it-s-so-difficult-to-build-in-malibu Why it's so difficult to build in Malibu Lester Tobias 2013-09-25T21:44:24-04:00 >2013-09-30T21:33:08-04:00
 Here is a link to the Malibu Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, adopted by the California Coastal Commission for the City of Malibu in 2002. It is a 128-page document that basically sets the ground rules for development in Malibu. The Malibu Local Implementation Plan (LIP) is the actual code that all architects, developers and builders in Malibu must follow in order to adhere to the development guidelines set forth in the LCP. The LIP is almost three times as long as the LUP: 338 pages.

 But those are not the only two documents of codes and development guidelines that are needed in order to build or renovate a home in Malibu. As I explain in my book, "Building in the 'Bu: Navigating the Malibu Zoning Code," Malibu's zoning codes evolved from several regulations. Malibu followed Los Angeles County zoning code rules until the Coastal Act was passed in 1977. The act was meant to protect natural resources in California's coastal zone. All cities within the 81-square-mile coastal...

 If you like mid-century modern homes and movies, then the short film, Mid-Century Modern House by James Munn, is for you. The 11-minute film includes clips of movies featuring famous modern homes by prominent architects, as well as fictional creations.

 Modern homes by legendary architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra were used in many films from the 1930s to present day. And striking "fake" homes created by well known art directors and production designers are seen in films such as "The Lake House" and "The Fountainhead."

 Wright's huge textile-block Ennis House was used in many Hollywood films such as the 1933 movie "Female," and the 1959 Vincent Price "House on Haunted Hill," as well as John Schlesinger's "The Day of the Locust" (1975). Lautner's Sheets-Goldstein Residence in Los Angeles shows up in "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," and his modernist octagon-shaped house, Chemosphere, was featured in director Brian De Palma's "Body Double" (...

 As I briefly explained in a prior post, just because the Malibu zoning code says that you may build something, does not mean that you can build it. This became evident in the fight over Measure M in 2002.
 The Malibu Bay Co. was the largest landowner in the city. Most of its holdings predated the fight to become a city. Eventually, the company owners felt that the recently written zoning code was not being interpreted in a manner that gave them much certainty with regard to the development potential of their numerous commercial properties. They came up with a progressive idea to master plan all of their holdings, essentially ignoring the zoning code, and enter into a customized development agreement with the City of Malibu. The result was Measure M.
 The benefit to the Bay Co. from Measure M was it would be guaranteed a 20-year approval period on numerous projects that circumvented many aspects of the zoning code. The benefit to the city was the total amount of square footage allo...

 In the previous post on this series, I gave a short explanation of the civic dynamics of Malibu. Over the next couple of posts I will give examples of how this dynamic has played out in the main controversies during the past 20 odd years.

 The Reopening of the Point Dume Elementary School

 In 1996, due to the increase in the child population of Malibu, the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District decided to reopen the elementary school located in the geographically defined neighborhood of Point Dume.

 Most families on the Point logically assumed their children would attend the new facility and could safely walk or ride their bikes to school.

 By contrast, a progressive position developed outside the Point Dume neighborhood that saw the school as an opportunity to create a new type of program: a "thematic based" curriculum that focused on marine sciences as the direction for the reopened school. This program would not be a neighborhood school. Rather, all children within ...

 This is the first in a series devoted to the life and work as an architect in Malibu. The distinct geography and topography of Malibu, in addition to the customary governmental regulations, affect how an architect will tackle design challenges when building in Malibu. In addition, its unique citizenry that fight to keep the Malibu Way of Life intact, sometimes with opposing views on development, also impact how we build here. With this series, I will address these topics and explain the nuances involved when constructing a new home or commercial property, as well as remodeling, in Malibu.

 As a small bit of trivia, we moved to our first home in Malibu on the weekend of the O.J. Simpson murders, which occurred mere blocks from our house in Brentwood. So that is our marker. We left the crazy, crowded, fast lane of West Los Angeles for the open spaces and laid-back existence of Malibu on what was arguably one of the top five craziest weekends on the Westside. Other than the oc...

[add comment] [edit]
Updates [8 October 2009]
I guess I need to bite the bullet and update the sources on John III. The item about the property on Mudlick (southside of Roanoke) is in error. The network of interconnecting family names makes it look to be correct, but in fact this is a different John Walker. The DOD is probably c 1776, not 1778 as is commnly given. The 1778 DOD is when his will was probated. The wills of several persons are probated at the same time, and this seems to be a bit of "catchup", the timeing of which has more to do with changes in state laws that came into effect on the first of January 1779---has to do with land claims, and what was needed to secure title to land that a deceased parent had settled, but for which title had not yet been secured. Q 13:55, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
[add comment] [edit]
Sources [9 October 2009]
Jim, I notice you've added a source "Walker-Kilgore Line by James W. Thompson, pg. 31. - on file". Where is this "on-file" at? Generally, its only useful to include a source that others can get to in order to verify its content. A good place for something like this to be "on-file" at, would be the digital library. On the Mud Lick property, I think this is from Chalkley. On John III's will, we should be able to locate a transcription of same. I'll check. Q 16:45, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
Q, I'll have to check my files, which is what "on-file" refers to. In the meantime, you can delete the reference if you wish. Unfortunately, when gedcoms are imported, the notes in my files are included verbatim, so such notes also show.

Tributes have flooded in to the teenager found stabbed to death in the stairwell of a block of flats.
Peter Hagan, 16, of Brixton, was found with multiple stab wounds in Albon House, Neville Gill Close, at 1.30am yesterday.
It is believed the former South Thames College pupil, cousin of murdered Croydon rapper Carl Beaston Asiedu, was attending a party at a flat in the ground floor block.
This morning neighbours waking up to the news said the incident has shocked the whole community.
Ian Tsang, 20, who lives in the block, said: "It was shocking, you don't expect to see it in your own block of flats.
"Sometimes you see people selling weed, but not someone's life being taken away."
Another neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said a knife was found underneath her friend's car parked outside.
She said: "There was a party in Albon House. There was an argument that kicked off outside.
"A 16 year old boy got stabbed a few times, walked into the block, that's where he was found - the argument started in the party."
Another passer-by said: "The kids are crazy, there is no parental guidance. The parents don't have power to control their kids.
"They are always on the streets running up and down. It is so sad, he was only 16."
A spokesperson for South Thames College said: "We were saddened to hear the news of Peter Hagan's death and our sympathies are with his family and friends.
"We can confirm that Peter enrolled as a student in September 2012 and attended the College for a brief period.
"We are working with staff to ensure that we can support any students particularly affected by this tragedy."
Friends and family have been posting tributes to the murdered teen on social networking websites.
Taylor Mde Bunmi wrote on Twitter: "Seriously I am absorbed with shock. RIP Peter Hagan, Your the Lords newest angel. May your soul rest in perfect peace."
"People be careful the unexpected is only around the corner, protect yourself and do what you know is right."
Another Twitter account set up in the dead teenagers name posted: "Things are just gonna get worst, only a number of us will make it to 20 years of age."
Mr Hagan has two brothers and one sister, while his cousin who performed under the name Charmz was stabbed to death outside a nightclub in 2009.
Nine people have been arrested in connection with the incident and eight have been bailed pending further enquiries.
However, one person remains in police custody.
Any witnesses or anyone with information can call 020 8721 4005. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

You have to admit it's an interesting way to do a show. Build up the characters as superheroes, then splat them at the end.
I can see them bringing Tooru back though, he seems to have a huge grudge that i figure will play a part in the story. I'm guessing he'll get some sort of critter like Yomi's and start hunting them all down. While the humans hunt them both.
Not alot to offer this season, i think there's only 2 shows i'm going to be bothering to get, this one and Kurozuka, oh and Index, that has potential.

Hey, the bad guys are winning for once. Doesn't everyone keep saying "it's annoying how the good guys always win"?
I love Yomi's ruthlesness. Normally in a scene like the last one where the good guy is captured and everything seems hopeless, the bad guy will either let their guard down and get killed or the good guy will release some hidden power and win. Instead, Ga Rei pretty much shoves in your face the fact that such shitty plot devices don't work here.

On other news, I fell asleep halfway through the second episode. Constant action only bores me (though I do admit being a bit underslept, but that hasn't kept me from enjoying anime before).

So, are they gonna make a habit of this in each episode or what? It was interesting in ep 1, but it's becoming a bit tiresome already. I seriously don't want to see an third ep with the SAME chain of events. Yeah, ep 1 was intriguing but they keep the same stuff up, it's not that fun anymore. Hopefully I'll start to get what's this all about in the next ep and not watch another ep1-remake3.

Best part of ep 2 with the MOE's Supernatural Countermeasures Division going GAR in the battle against the possessed corpses of the MOD's Supernatural Disaster Prevention Office. Rock on FAMAS and SVD!!
It seems that they are two anti-paranormal special forces units if I got the names right:
Ministry of Defense aka 防衛省 - Supernatural Disaster Prevention Agency
Ministry of Environment aka 環境省 - Supernatural Countermeasures Division
Wonder who holds the responsibility of conducting anti-paranormal ops. Better yet, why does the MOE have an anti-paranormal specs ops division? You'd think that the Ministry of Justice (法務省), Security Council (安全保障会議) or the National Police Agency (警察庁) should be the ones handling them.
Then again, pretty sneaky of the MOE.

Well i decided to give it sometime to see if anything would develop by episode 3 and it has not. I love the action i love music and dont get me wrong i love the gore. But by episode 3 you should at least be trying to hold your audience to the series by giving some glimpse to help them follow along with the story, this is has not happen honestly no one knows the what the fuck is going except that there is a betrayer and all the teams get wiped out other than that its just blood and gore with no hint of an explanation for why events are taking place i can deal with 2 episodes of that but no more. Iv got no problem with killing the good guys off since im pretty much an Anti hero myself. My problem is with the pacing. I will get around to watching it and still download the episodes but this one is going on the back burner there are too many other series floating around for me to sit around and say WTF they killed everyone AGAIN for the next couple of weeks.
Its such a shame cause i like the action but im keeping it on my list.
Someone PM me when they do the reset

okay, im hooked when i watched episode 2, less cheesy, more intense action, me want. (and the new bgm in episode 2 was nice, compared to those on eps 1)
anyway.. i don't think kagura is dead yet (no death scene yet, so im not buying it) and nori chan.. well is he dead? if this -zero- really means prequel of ga-rei it will most likely be that nori and kagura didn't die.
but if they do die.. well its an original anime story then.. which maybe turns out that yomi is the main character.
and i think most of the 4th special squad is dead. But seeing all the flashback from episode 1 by the supposed to be main chara makes me think that the only surviving member will be that guy (somehow) and it will be related to yomi and him, but meh.. we'll see

don't know, they even put kagura and nori chan there.. who was supposed to be characters in manga (special note on kagura a ga-rei user and a main heroine in manga)
like i said, those flashbacks in episode 1.. is it just some random facts thrown to us, or a subplot which later will be explained, which therefore there is a possibility of the male guy from eps 1 to actually survive the ordeal

I personally don't need to watch a show for any character in mind to enjoy a show. As long as there are other good aspects. There are many shows that show things from various perspectives without a singular "main character" shown all the time (and half this episode and the last involved the Ministry of Defense officials, along with some from the Ministry of Environment, not just the Squads who are essentially foot soldiers).
I find it interesting at least. And even if I didn't, I certainly wouldn't mark it down for killing named (not neccessarily main) characters (and only one of the introduced characters in episode 2 "may" have died.)

Hello again,
please, we need help understanding a deletion detected by HC.
Here is the VCF line and the activeRegions output (attached):
MT 9190 . CTGCACGACAACACAT C 1057.73 VQSRTrancheBOTH99.00to99.90 AC=1;AF=0.500;AN=2;BaseQRankSum=1.935;ClippingRankSum=-0.516;DP=301;FS=0.000;MLEAC=1;MLEAF=0.500;MQ=45.84;MQ0=0;MQRankSum=1.456;NEGATIVE_TRAIN_SITE;QD=0.23;ReadPosRankSum=0.625;VQSLOD=-1.682e+00;culprit=MQ;set=variant23 GT:AD:GQ:PL 0/1:51,11:99:1095,0,1411
As we can see in the image several reads confirm a 2bp deletion at 9204. But HC called a 16bp deletion (that was later on filtered out of our pipeline because of VQSR not passing our filter) that is supported only by one read. Those "Insertions" marked at the end of the reads are "N"s from masked adaptors.
I'm glad that HC tried to identify a bigger deletion, but shouldn't it call the 2bp deletion as well?
Thanks in advance,
Ah, okay then.
AFAIK the HC should ignore both soft clips and Ns completely.
Hi Rodrigo,
Is this what you get from --activeRegionOut? It would be better to look at --bamOutput to see what the HC thinks is going on in that region.
Hello Geraildine,
In the print screen from IGV we can see activeRegionOut (the first track) and the bam (alignment track) from --bamOutput.
Oh I see, thanks for clarifying.
Have you looked at this article?
Thank you Geraldine, i believe our mapping quality in this example is low, so HC is doing fine ignoring them.
do you have any material regarding masked (soft clip) reads? In others indels we are suspecting that bases masked with N could be confusing HC. Or it ignores N bases?
Ah, okay then.
AFAIK the HC should ignore both soft clips and Ns completely.

Boundaries and Justice:
Despite the supreme political and economic significance of boundaries--and ongoing challenges to existing national boundaries--scant attention has been paid to their ethics. This volume explores how diverse ethical traditions understand the political and property rights reflected in territorial and jurisdictional boundaries. It is the first book to bring together thinkers from a range of traditions, both religious and secular, to discuss the ethics of boundaries.
Each contributor represents a tradition's views on questions surrounding the use of boundaries to delimit property and political rights. What does it mean to own something? What resources should not be privately owned? What justifies the erection of political boundaries between one people and another? How ''hard'' should such boundaries be? What rights extend to minorities within a state? Should territorial boundaries coincide with social ones? Does national autonomy have an ethical basis, or is it an aspect of modern power politics? Should we aim for a more inclusive community than that afforded by modern nation-states? Cross-chapter dialogue and a substantive conclusion draw out similarities and differences among the traditions represented, traditions that include Christianity, classical liberalism, Confucianism, international law, Islam, Judaism, liberal egalitarianism, and natural law.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Nigel Biggar, Joseph Boyle, Joseph Chan, Russell Hardin, Will Kymlicka, Loren Lomasky, Robert McCorquodale, Richard B. Miller, David Novak, Sulayman Nyang, Michael Nylan, Raul C. Pangalangan, Daniel Philpott, Jeremy Rabkin, Hillel Steiner, M. Raquibuz Zaman, and Noam J. Zohar.
"[This] collection of essays is very rich in ideas and in implications. It explores a vital set of questions and ethical concepts. The book leaves me wanting more such volumes that explore the boundaries of justice from varied ethical perspectives."--Dana W. Wilbanks, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"The subject of this book is an extremely important one. The treatments are good, and the whole is considerably more than its parts. I strongly recommend it."--Lee Yearley, Stanford University
"This is an excellent volume on an important subject. A number of very highly respected contributors bring a range of perspectives to bear on several carefully framed questions related to boundaries. The book will interest a large number of people, in ethical and political philosophy, international law, political science, and international relations. It is an important contribution to the debate over boundaries and does the rare service of bringing together a wide variety of ethical traditions to bear on the issue."--Margaret Moore, University of Waterloo

That man is now called Busaman The Mighty.
Welcome to my 1K Ding thread my friends and fellow Diablonians.
I feel as though i should take this opportunity to show you a bit more about my life and what it is to be the worlds most interesting person. Come along with me won't you?
First off my name is Stephen and this is me at the University of New Orleans
**** I know...
I actually live in the suberb of New Orleans known as Metairie. Which is pretty much the more white and boring version of the city itself.
I go to school in pursuit of a fine arts degree with a focus in print making. I make silly images such as these:
I tend to drink a lot and as a result of such activities things usually get set on fire.
I love my doggie 'Aldo'...THIS IS HIM WHEN HE WAS A PUPPY! LOOK!
And yes he was most deffinently named after Aldo from FFXI making him that much more bad ***.
I know i promissed pics of me dry humping a homeless chick as the bus stops but no one rides the bus around here...
So instead I offer you pics from New Years when i got prison raped up against a refridgerator.
And now its a full blown train
I still play FFXI just about everyday as 75RDM 7BLM and 75DRK. Im a proud 100 clothcrafter and I love my linkshell "FUSE". This game has seen two girlfriends equalling 3.5 years between the two of them come and go and will probably see more to come. I enjoy this game and this forum very VERY much and they have become integral parts of my life. I thank you all for everyday I get to interact with you even if it's just through the keyboard.
In closing I offer you all this loving shot of my crotch.

Britney Spears' boys, Jessica Simpson's daughter, Maxwell, and soon-to-arrive baby brother, my mom and my aunt — these are examples of what I know as "Irish twins" — a derogatory term used to describe children born 10 to 15 months apart, usually to Catholic families, who didn't use birth control and ended up with children closer in age than anyone in their right mind would have planned.
But this set of "Irish twins" were born in Ireland — 87 days apart. And there was no slight of hand involved — these twins were conceived at the same time and carried by the same mother in the same womb. I'm still wondering how that is possible myself.
Not long after mother Maria Jones-Elliot told friends and family she was pregnant with her third and fourth children — twin girls — a terrible thing happened. Her water broke and labor began just 23 weeks into her pregnancy.
One twin, Amy, was born on June 1, 2012, four months premature and weighing just over one pound. The other twin remained in mom's womb, which is miracle enough for me. In the U.S. they make a big deal about potential risk of infection once your water breaks. As soon as that happens, you are on a rigid time-clock. Most doctors give 24 hours of labor before declaring an emergency C-section necessary.
It turns out in the case of these Irish twins, the doctors let nature run its course. They let Maria labor for two full days ("grueling" she says) when she finally delivered the first twin, Amy. That's when things took a bizarre turn.
"Amy was rushed to intensive care. I was exhausted but it wasn't over – there was another child and so I had to focus."
But Maria's contractions finished. She said: "They stopped dead – it was like I'd never even given birth.
"The doctors said they had never seen anything like it."
"They tried to induce me the next day but nothing happened. Eventually Chris and I said enough is enough. Let nature take its course." Then came a seemingly endless wait.
Maria explains she and her husband, Chris, were constantly "torn between joy and worry" for the next 87 days.
"I call the girls our little miracles," she said. "As I held Amy for the first time I stroked my bump and prayed to God. I just wanted my girls to be together and safe and well.
"Usually you experience nothing but joy at the birth of a new baby, but it was so achingly bitter-sweet as both of their lives hung in the balance.
"Amy was fighting for life in an incubator and Katie was struggling to survive in my womb. It was the hardest three months of our lives. But Chris kept saying, 'Where there's life there's hope.'"
At 36 weeks, doctors induced Maria for the second time on August 27th, when Katie was born. I knew twins who call themselves the "older" sibling over just minutes of additional life outside the womb, but Amy is going to have major rank to pull on her sister. She has 87 days on Katie — and she fought for every one of them.
"For a baby delivered at 23 weeks to survive, is a huge achievement from everyone's point of view," Dr. Sam Coulter Smith, chief of Dublin's Rotunda Hospital and an expert in obstetrics and gynecology, told the Irish Times. "For a 23-week twin to survive is even bigger because twins often behave more prematurely than singleton babies. That really is right at the absolute border of viability."
The twins are thriving now as Amy approaches her first birthday next month — and Katie, well, 87 days behind. The best perk for the girls will surely be no joint birthday parties, a rare special treat for twins. For me, I am dying to know if the girls got on the same feeding/napping schedule, or if one will make the cut off for the school year, while the other one would be red-shirted. There are tons of books and blogs devoted just to raising twins, but as far as I know there is only one that addresses these unique Irish twins — the Guinness Book of World Records.

TALLAHASSEE — The top emergency management official in Okaloosa County testified at the Ray Sansom trial Tuesday that he told a developer he did not think state funding would be awarded for a building at Destin Airport because of its location.
But the developer, Sansom's co-defendant Jay Odom, was unfazed.
"He wasn't concerned about that. He said he knew how to get funding from the state, he knew people," public safety director Dino Villani said.
"Did he name any of those people?" Leon County State Attorney Willie Meggs asked. "Yes. Ray Sansom, Allen Boyd, couple of other legislators."
Meggs hopes the testimony convinces the jury that Odom, a major Republican campaign contributor, was determined to get the state to pay for a building he planned to use as an aircraft hangar for his jet business — and that Sansom was his accomplice in the state Legislature.
Villani also testified that in December 2008 — more than a year after the $6 million was appropriated — he attended a meeting about the use of the airport building that was led by Sansom, who was then working at Northwest Florida State College.
Meggs has said the meeting was evidence of a cover-up and he's likely to raise that point in the trial.
Sansom and Odom have been charged with grand theft and deny wrongdoing.
Villani's testimony came on the second day of the trial and was followed by another key prosecution witness, longtime legislative budget aide Mike Hansen, who told the jury that in 2007 Sansom handed him a note indicating he wanted the airport project funded and that it was a top priority.
The request came during a year in which state funds were scarce. The note included the words, "per S.D. to fund." S.D. is shorthand for speaker-designate, which Sansom was at the time.
When the item appeared in the budget, there was no mention of the airport.
To Meggs, it is a central component in how Sansom circumvented normal budget procedures and disguised the project. Odom originally tried to get funding through a member project, often described as "turkeys" in Tallahassee and similar to "earmarks" in the parlance of Washington, D.C.
In 2007, however, member projects were banned because of a poor state economy. Sansom, who once said he was unaware of Odom's request, got the money from a pool for education projects. It was awarded to Northwest Florida State College.
Cross-examination allowed defense attorneys to work a key argument: that Sansom broke no legislative rules and that it's common for high ranking officials such as Sansom to get projects in the budget.
In a long and sometimes complex discussion of the state budget, Hansen explained that Sansom's project would have also had to get approval from the Senate.
Hansen appeared uncomfortable on the stand — sitting in front of his old boss, Sansom — and stumbled in what the defense may have thought was an easy question that would help their case: Did Sansom violate any rules of the House?
"That's a question that I don't think I'm prepared to answer," Hansen said. But when pressed he replied, "I'm not aware of any."
The defense fared better on the cross-examination of another state employee, Skip Martin, who also saw the note from Sansom. It included a reference to Destin Airport but the line item in the budget made no mention.
"Were you trying to hide for the world that this project was going to be at the Destin Airport?" attorney Larry Simpson asked.
"No," Martin replied.
Meggs brought out other Okaloosa County witnesses he hopes build his case:
• Randy McDaniel, an emergency management official, testified that he informed other officials involved in the planning of a possible emergency operations center at the airport that the county was not interested in putting its vehicles inside. Under cross-examination, he acknowledged that the county was building its own EOC in nearby Niceville and there was concern Destin's project could hurt funding. The defense suggested politics were at play.
• Ken Wolfe, the county emergency management coordinator, was shown preliminary plans for the airport building and Meggs asked him to name certain components. "Hangar . . . pilots' lounge . . . office . . . service counter," he said.
The day began with the defense team cross-examining Destin City Manager Greg Kisela. One strategy was to defuse something Kisela said Monday, that in 2007 he ran into Odom and inquired about the $6 million the city sought from the state on behalf of Odom (the project that never got funded due to a ban in 2007).
Odom, Kisela said, told him that it had been "repackaged" as an educational facility. Defense attorney Jimmy Judkins asked Kisela if there was anything sinister about that.
"It's the legislative process," Kisela replied. "I don't really understand completely how things get funded and not funded. It's not uncommon for things to be repackaged."

Review Roundup: West End's ROCK OF AGES
ROCK OF AGES at London's Shaftsbury Theatre, led by Justin Lee Collins, Shayne Ward, Amy Pemberton, Oliver Tompsett and Simon Lipkin, officially opened on September 27.
The cast is rounded out by: Ja'Keith Gill, Rohan Tickell, Jodie Jacobs, Sandy Moffat Nathan Amzi, Natalie Andreou, Grant Anthony, Carly Mercedes Dyer, Cordelia Farnworth, Ian McIntosh, Twinnie-Lee Moore, Jamie Muscato, Andrew Spillett, Zizi Strallen, Amy Thornton and Dylan Turner.
For more information and to book tickets visit: www.rockofagesmusical.co.uk.
Carrie Dunn, BroadwayWorld: But Rock of Ages is a nasty show. This is not because it is a jukebox show; indeed, so few songs are performed in their entirety it's hardly a jukebox, more a sampler. It lies in its embarrassment at its own existence: it laughs at musical theatre conventions, it breaks the fourth wall, it mocks its own material (both the Eighties rock, which one might expect, and its own freshly-written script). It's not the only show to do that, of course; the one that most readily sprang to mind as a comparison was, weirdly, Spamalot. But that poked fun with affection and in the context of a farcical fable.
Michael Hann, The Guardian: Aside from the female lead, Sherrie (Amy Pemberton), women exist only to parade in underwear, as hookers, strippers or waitresses, and Sherrie has to take on two of those jobs. The furthest it strays from stereotype is to reveal the developer's camp son Fritz as straight - "I'm not gay! I'm German!" - and to use REO Speedwagon's I Can't Fight This Feeling to celebrate two men discovering their love for each other, though it is a shame that scene is played for comedy rather than tenderness.
Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard: Ward, X Factor winner in 2005, and TV presenter Justin Lee Collins, as bar owner Dennis, are the headline names, but they feature little, mercifully so in Lee Collins's case. Instead it's largely left to the helpless Pemberton and Tompsett to grind through 31 identical-sounding songs. If you can't make Cum On Feel The Noize zing, you're scuppered.
Pierre Perrone, The Independent: More a mixtape than a juke-box musical, it manages to both glory in and lampoon the clichés of the rock genres it's built on, with knowing nods to Axl Rose and David Lee Roth, and the odd X-rated joke about groupies and ping-pong balls, and wipes the floor with the Queen vehicle.
Ian Shuttleworth, Financial Times: The audience are issued with LED mock-cigarette lighters to wave in the air; health and safety regulations forbid naked flames. It is an excellent emblem of the entire project: a culture that was itself a processed version of rock has been further processed into a celebration of the crassest stereotypes, as if the act of celebration redeemed them rather than indicting us.
Kate Jackson, The Sun: This near-the-knuckle jukebox musical isn't for delicate ears or under-16s - who aren't allowed in. But if you fancy indulging in a night of classic anthems such as Slade's Cum On Feel The Noize and Europe's The Final Countdown, in a show that's camper than Freddie Mercury doing the Hoovering, this is for you.
Alun Palmer, The Mirror: X Factor winner Shayne Ward plays rock god Stacee Jaxx, and he makes a good job of it. Even Justin Lee Collins isn't anywhere near as annoying as he usually is as club owner Dennis. But it is the lesser names that shine, especially Oliver Tompsett as Drew and Simon Lipkin as Lonny. Rock of Ages is a hugely enjoyable evening celebrating a time and music we should really leave behind, but can't.
