Rock On!

Rock On!

ROCK OF AGES takes you back to the time of big egos, big guitar solos and even bigger hair! This five-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical features hits from Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, and more.

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980’s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips’ last legendary venues, where egotistical rock star Stacee Jaxx takes the stage, and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.

Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star Drew has dreams to be the next big thing and longs for small-town girl Sherrie, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes. But the rock ‘n’ roll fairy-tale is about to end when developers sweep into town with plans to create a strip mall in place of the bar. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the bar – and themselves – before it’s too late?ROCK OF AGES is a big, energetic tribute to the classic rock of the ‘80s, featuring dozens of favorite rock anthems and power ballads, including: “We’re Not Going to Take It,” “Waiting for a Girl Like You,” “The Final Countdown,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Sister Christian,” “Here I Go Again” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Ain’t Nothin’ But a Good Time!

“A seriously silly, absurdly enjoyable arena-rock musical… the performances blend sincere conviction and knowing parody. I never would have guessed that wine coolers could age this well!” – New York Times

“As the show opens with blinding lights, shredding guitars and hammer-handed drumming, even nonbelievers may start inhaling the Aqua Net and embracing their inner rocker.” – Variety
