Q: Is ROCK OF AGES appropriate for children?
Rock of Ages is a full-out, blast-off, hold-onto-your-hairspray celebration of the great rock music of the 80s, and you might be wondering—or, admit it, hoping—your kids will love it as much as you will. Well, we think they will, but you should know that some of the costumes, dancing and language might not be appropriate for kids under the age of 14. We think teenagers will dig it, because it’s totally awesome, sort of like a music video brought to life, complete with hot dancers and blazing guitar licks. You know the maturity of your children, so we suggest you use your best judgment about whether or not the show is appropriate for them. Remember, if you do bring them, they’ll get to see you rockin’ like you did back in the day. Just so you know.
Q. Will my grandparents enjoy ROCK OF AGES?
Depends on how cool they are. If your grandma has "I Wanna ROCK!" as her ringtone, buy that girl a ticket TODAY! (Hint: Click here!)
Q. I’m not familiar with 80s music, will I like ROCK OF AGES?
The show is packed with "glam metal" rock songs that rose to huge popularity in the 1980s. They feature distorted guitar riffs based around power chords, catchy hooks and hard-hitting drumming. There are tons of guitar solos and many of the songs have catchy "sing-along" choruses and clear vocals.
