Why see Rock of Ages?
THE ULTIMATE ARENA-ROCK LOVE STORY!
Rock of Ages is the five-time Tony nominated self-referential smash, packed with 30 electrifying hit songs from Journey, Foreigner, Styx, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi and many more, that will transport you back in time to the heady days (and nights) on the Sunset Strip in 1987!
JUST A SMALL TOWN GIRL...
For Sherrie, the strip is the opportunity to start-over, and follow her dreams of becoming an actress. That is, until someone steals the small-town girl's suitcase, right outside of the world-famous Bourbon Room. Saved by the ambitious bus-boy, and wannabe singer Drew, its love at first sight for the pair, but the course of true love never runs smooth. There are a whole lot of obstacles in the way for their love and dreams on the wild Sunset scene. And what of the Bourbon Room? The venue that hosted some of hard rock's biggest acts is about to go under, but for one last plan.
Can they get mega star Stacee Jaxx to perform his last gig and save the club? Or is he more washed up than rock star these days. Don your leopard print and grab the hairspray, because you're in for a comedic glam metal treat!
DID YOU KNOW?
In July, 2009, the Broadway production of Rock of Ages organized the Guinness World Record for 'Largest Air Guitar Ensemble.'
Key Information
Audience
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 13.</p>
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.
Run Time
2 hours 20 minutes with one 10 minute intermission.

Four times and counting
I've seen this show four times and am planning my fifth. I listen to the cast recording all the time. This was by far the best thing I have ever seen in a theater. I never was a fan of the 1980's or big hair band music, but now I love them. Each time I see the show, I enjoy it more.
The first time was like going to an opera and knowing all the lyrics. I cannot imagine anyone not adoring this show. ... Read more

Best show ever from.start to finish. Fantastic cast, story line & of course the best music ever!!
I would recommend every one to see this show!! I guarantee you will not be disappointed! We danced & sang in our seats through the whole play. Our seats were great & the theatre is an absolutely amazing venue to see this show! Tons of delicious places to eat as well in the area The talent of this cast will blow you away!! I also loved that through the performance how the cast engaged with the audience. The comedic talent of these actors will have you rolling with laughter as well! If you plan on visiting NY definitely see this show. I've seen this show many, many times. I'm a native New Yorker & guess what getting ready to buy tickets to see it again!!!
