The legendary Bourbon Room, a rock club on Sunset Strip in the 1980s, is in the throes of its last days when drugs, sex and rock and roll were careening, and the Strip is threatened with revitalization. This rock musical debuted the Gateway season Wednesday night with an all-out wild,funny, edgy energy that pulsates with strobe lights, audience interaction, and a story that revolves around songs from the likes of Pat Benatar, Steve Perry, Styx, Bon Jovi and Twisted Sister. But to also get Tommy Kessler, the lead guitarist for the rock group Blondie, to reprise his Broadway role as on-stage lead guitarist is quite a feat. It’s a coup for The Gateway to present the first regional production of “Rock of Ages,”which closed on Broadway in January as its 27th-longest running show.
