Rock of Ages

June 14-17 and 21-24
A Gritty and Glamorous Jukebox Musical
Book by Chris D'Arienzo, Arrangements and Orchestrations by Ethan Popp
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star Drew longs to take the stage as 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 and roll fairytale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherrie, and the gang save the Strip – and themselves – before it's too late?

NOTE: This production contains strobe effects as well as strong adult language and themes, suggestive dancing, and alcohol and drug use.

ROCK OF AGES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
