FAQ
Q. What is ROCK OF AGES about?
ROCK OF AGES is a rock musical set in Hollywood in the late 80s, when it was all about big chords, big dreams and . . . big hair! It blends the traditions of musical theatre with the joy, energy and passion of a rock concert, and it is inspired by the rising nostalgia for the 1980s, its timeless music, and the classic “hair bands” whose sonic power filled the airwaves and the clubs on L.A.’s Sunset Strip. The show explores the pursuit of dreams: some come true, some are cut short and some change along the way. No matter what, the persistence of the human heart is what matters…so Don’t Stop Believing--and click here to buy your tickets today!
