Rock of Ages
Whether you're a fan of the great rock anthems of the '80s, a lover of musicals, or a rock god who wants to relive those great rock moments... Rock of Ages has something for everyone!
From the hits - We Built This City, Don't Stop Believin', The Final Countdown, I Want To Know What Love Is - to the iconic rockers - Foreigner, Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Poison, Starship, Pat Benatar and Whitesnake - to the love story - as a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer, you know you're guaranteed a great night of theatre and music.
Set in 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer – and in L.A.’s most legendary rock club, they fall in love to the greatest songs of the ‘80s. It’s an awesomely good time where big hair meets big dreams in a Rock ‘n’ Roll comedy romance.
Following an extremely successful Off Broadway run in October 2008 and a bidding war over the film rights in which New Line Cinema won, Rock of Ages transferred to Broadway’s Brooks Atkinson Theatre in April 2009 to critical acclaim and continued audience adoration.
Rock of Ages was nominated for Five 2009 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, Best Costume Design of a Musical, and Best Sound Design for a Musical.
New Line Records released the Original Broadway Cast Recording digitally on June 2 2009; it features 28 songs from the show.
Rock of Ages is now playing in Toronto, with the US National Tour due to start in September 2010, followed by openings in London, Las Vegas, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Japan and Korea.
