BroadwayWorld's Richard RIdge was on the red carpet to chat with the evening's attendees, including Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, Orfeh, Michael Urie and more. Check out what they had to say before the curtain went up below!

ROCKY brings to life the iconic and inspiring story of struggling small time Philly boxer, Rocky Balboa, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to go the distance against heavyweight champ Apollo Creed. Both an adrenaline-infused spectacle and a surprising story of blossoming romance between two lonely outsiders, ROCKY is a heart-stopping and viscerally theatrical new musical for everyone brave enough to follow their dream.
