It’s 1987 on the Sunset Strip, where a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer. In L.A.’s most legendary rock club, they fall in love to the biggest hits of the ‘80’s. It’s Rock of Ages, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and others. This five-time Tony-nominated musical, with a star studded motion picture in the works, is rockin’ its way across the USA. Don’t miss this fun production about dreaming big, playing loud, and partying on. It’ll be good times!
Rock of Ages is a worldwide phenomenon with smash hit productions in Australia, London, South Korea, and still doing its thing on Broadway, featuring 28 classic rock tunes such as “Don’t Stop Believin’”, “We Built This City”, “The Final Countdown”, “Wanted Dead or Alive”, “Here I Go Again”, “Harden My Heart”, “Can’t Fight this Feeling”, “Renegade” and “I Want To Know What Love Is”.
