In a show of semi-permanent appreciation, ROCK OF AGES honored of one of its most dedicated fans and winner of its holiday 'Deck the Halls Extreme Rock' contest, Gavin Knox, this month. For the Christmas challenge, the production invited fans to submit a performance video of a holiday carol, sung in the rockin' style of the hit show. The winner was selected by ROCK OF AGES cast members, including Constantine Maroulis, Kerry Butler, and James Carpinello. The prize package included a pair of tickets to the performance, a backstage tour, a curtain call ovation, dinner for two at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, a copy of the original cast recording, and a Temptu tattoo, applied by the show's make-up artist, worn by the cast members on stage each night.  

'Deck the Halls' contest participants were invited to rock out to actual carols, change lyrics, and melodies, or make up their own holiday song. Click here to see Gavin Knox's winning submission!

The highlight of the winning package came at the performance curtain call, when Knox was brought on stage and introduced to the audience to show off his new Temptu tattoo. Temptu, the company which manufactures the body ink, also presented Knox with a gift basket. BroadwayWorld brings you photos of Knox's tattoo application.

ROCK OF AGES, set in 1987 on the Sunset Strip, tells the story of a small-town girl who meets a big-city dreamer - and in L.A.'s most legendary rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the ‘80's. It's ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more. Don't miss this awesomely good time where big hair meets big dreams and the result totally wails. The show is written by Chris D'Arienzo, directed by Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Kelly Devine.
