ROCK OF AGES, the five-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical, tells the story of a small-town girl, a city boy, and a rock ‘n’ roll romance on the Sunset Strip. But when the bar where rock reigns supreme is set to be demolished, it’s up to these wannabe rockers and their band of friends to save the day — and the music!  ROCK OF AGES’s electric score features all your favorite ’80s rock anthems and power ballads including “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” “Here I Go Again,” “Don’t Stop Believin” and more!
