In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker in LA's most famous rock club and they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80's.
ROCK OF AGES, the 5 time Tony nominated musical, is an arena-rock love story told through the mind blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, NIGHT RANGER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more.
It was also made into a major motion picture, directed by HAIRSPRAY: The Musical's Adam Shankman and features a star-studded cast that includes: Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand, Paul Giamatti, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Bryan Cranston, Julianne Hough, Malin Akerman, Will Forte and Diego Boneta. The film is now avaiable on DVD and Blu-ray disc.
An interesting footnote is that the film was shot entirely in South Florida where an entire section of downtown Miami was transformed into a 1987 Sunset Strip, including a Shell gas station (complete with those old stand-up gas pumps) and even a Tower Records and Frederick's of Hollywood storefront. Heck, even an 80's Angelyne billboard was erected, which was a sight to see as it contrasted the present-day downtown Miami skyline (which, of course, was digitally removed for the actual film). Also, a stadium sequence was filmed at the home of the Miami Dolphins: Sun Life Stadium and all of the interior shots of the fictional club The Bourbon Room was filmed at The Revolution club in Fort Lauderdale.
With smash hit productions in Australia, London, South Korea and still rockin' on Broadway, ROCK OF AGES is a worldwide phenomenon featuring 28 classic rock tunes including DON’T STOP BELIEVIN’, WE BUILT THIS CITY, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, WANTED DEAD OF ALIVE, HERE I GO AGAIN, HARDEN MY HEART, CAN’T FIGHT THIS FEELING, RENEGADE and I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS.
Don't miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!
