Rocky The Musical has finally made its debut on Broadway, with technical wizardry triumphing over 'non-descript' music.
The musical which is based on the Oscar-winning movie, is co-written by the film's star Sylvester Stallone, BBC News reported.
David Rooney wrote in The Hollywood Reporter that the finale fight was so visceral and exhilarating that it sent the audience out on a high.
Rooney added that if marketed successfully, Rocky could become for boys and their dads what 'Wicked' is to the girl contingent.
'Eye of the Tiger' and Bill Conti's Theme from Rocky were both used to good effect.
