Dude Just Really Likes Rock of Ages, Drops $25,000 to See It 500 Times
We all have that favorite movie or show we’ve seen countless times (unless you’re one of those types with self control who doesn’t overwatch a favorite film so as to savor it more). I don’t think I could tell you how many times I watched A Shot in the Dark or any of the Pink Panther films between the ages of 8 and 16. So I understand that type of obsession, but I’m not sure I understand how a dude could drop $25,000 to see the same show over and over again.
On July 1, 2009, Abe Calimag saw Rock of Ages on Broadway for the first time. And he was hooked. Calimag went on to see the show in a whole lot of different states, six different countries—he went to Australia and saw it 12 times there—even on cruise ships. I didn’t even know they did such huge productions on cruise ships. Anyway, Calimag has seen the show 500 times. The same show. A jukebox musical. Rock of Ages. Over and over and over again.
