Rock fans will not want to miss this show

The biggest, wildest and most unforgettable year-end party is set to hit Johannesburg with the insanely funny, high energy, a feel-good smash hit musical stage production of the year Rock of Ages.

It’s a sing-along, dancing-in-the-aisle, party show with tons of humour, all supporting a charming love story.

The South African premier of this multi-Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical will be live at Gold Reef City’s Lyric Theatre from November 17 to December 10.

Having spent six years on Broadway, Rock of Ages then went on to Las Vegas, a nationwide tour of the United States, as well as productions in Tokyo, Toronto, Sydney, Mexico City, Panama City, Manila, Malta, Singapore and now, Gold Reef City.

Featuring 28 nostalgic rock anthems, including the music of Pat Benatar, Styx, Twisted Sister, Poison, Foreigner, Reo Speedwagon, and more, Rock of Ages pays homage to the big rock concerts of the 80’s.

It takes audiences all the way back to 1987 to the fabled West Hollywood club, the “Bourbon Room”, set on LA’s infamous Sunset Strip.

The musical tells the story of Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl who have both landed up in LA to chase their dreams of making it big.

Rock of Ages celebrates a time when big glamour rock bands were the epitome of decadence, superficiality, oversized egos, never-ending guitar solos, extreme clothes, and outrageous hairstyles.

The show contains scenes of “rock ’n roll” debauchery so parental guidance is advised.

Performances will run from Monday to Friday at 8pm and on Saturday and Sunday at 3pm and 8pm.
