“There are people of a certain age who hear the words “Sister” and “Christian” in the same breath and do not think of nuns. These are hard-bitten hard rock fans, those who instantly recognize the mid-1980’s Night Ranger song title. They’re also the folks targeted by a strange little rock show near Broadway: “Power Balladz” an off-Broadway cabaret besotted by soaring guitars that comes to New York by way of Minneapolis from what seems like a rip in time. “ –Associated Press
