Set on Los Angeles’ legendary Sunset Strip in the late 1980s, Rock of Ages follows a small-town girl and a city boy who chase their Hollywood dreams in a world of big hair, bigger guitar solos, and 80s rock anthems. When greedy developers threaten to demolish their favorite rock club, an outrageous band of misfits, dreamers, and wannabe rock gods join forces to save the music—and discover love, identity, and the power of a perfect power ballad along the way. Packed with iconic hits from the era and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, Rock of Ages delivers a high-octane, feel-good night out that keeps audiences cheering, dancing and singing along.
JAGGED LITTLE PILL IS presented by special arrangement with CONCORD THEATRICALS. (www.CONCORDTHEATRICALS.com)
