Rock of Ages
Time: 7:30 pm-9:30 pm
Cost: $40
Coming to the PACE Center mainstage June 27 – July 20, 2025, Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical Rock of Ages takes you back to the time of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair!
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. 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 scantily clad 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 from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ’n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with 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? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.
ADULTS, AGES 14+ FOR STRONG ADULT THEMES AND CONTENT including offensive language, discriminatory themes/language, sexual content, and substance use/abuse.
History
Rock of Ages opened on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on April 7, 2009. It played for 2,328 performances; the 31st longest-running show in Broadway history.
ROCK OF AGES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Really Useful Group.
