Description

Are you ready to play air guitar, wave your lighter in the air, and jump like David Lee Roth?

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party is raging. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues—a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing, and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus with stars in her eyes. But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers reveal their plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri, and the gang save the strip—and themselves—before it’s too late

Rock of Ages is a seriously silly, absurdly enjoyable arena-rock musical with big bands, big guitar solos, and even bigger hair! This Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical features the hits of bands including REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, and more.

Rated PG-13 (for mild adult themes, suggestive dancing, and some language).  Please note: there are some brief moments during this show where fog and strobe lighting are used.

The Director

Shane is currently the Music Specialist for Baltimore County Public Schools. He returns to ASGT after music directing Chicago. He is ready to rock again and return to Rock of Ages!

Don’t stop believin’!
