Beginning Jan 22, 2013, Broadway Sacramento will present Rock of Ages, a musical featuring the songs of some of rock’s greatest bands - Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, and others.
The year is 1987; the setting is LA’s most famous rock club on the Sunset Strip.
A small town girl meets a big city rocker and they fall in love. Their story is painted with the sounds of some of the greatest songs of the 80s.
Rock of Ages, is an “arena-rock love story told through some of the greatest hits of the 80s including “Don’t Stop Believin’,’ ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It,’ ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ and many more."
The Associated Press calls Rock of Ages “A nonstop party with sexy choreography, energetic performances and an on stage band that totally rocks the house!”
The Rock of Ages website has this humorous Parental Advisory:
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.
The Broadway hit will be in town for six showings from Jan. 22-27 at the Community Center Theater.
Don’t miss Broadway’s best party!
