What's it all about?
Welcome to the era of big rock bands and even bigger hair! If you’re after an evening in the theatre that’s sheer high-octane entertainment, combining karaoke classics with tongue-in-cheek comedy, this is the show for you.
Set in 1980s LA, Rock of Ages follows the fortunes of two youngsters with big dreams. But it’s not all about them – this show is exploding with hit songs and we defy you not to end up moshing in the aisles, air guitar firmly in hand.
Riff with the best of them before Tom Cruise gets in on the act next year in the eagerly anticipated film version of this Tony Award-winning musical.
Who's in it?
Not only is Rock of Ages loaded with top tunes, it’s also bursting with top TV talent – from The Sunday Night Project’s Justin Lee Collins to The X Factor’s Shayne Ward.
And with classic songs such as 'Don’t Stop Believin’, 'We Built This City', 'The Final Countdown', 'More Than Words' and 'Here I Go Again' – all penned by rock royalty ranging from Bon Jovi to Twisted Sister – who can blame them for wanting to get involved? Make sure you do too at this awesome opportunity to rock out.
Suitable for
If you lived – and loved – the hits of the 80s, you will jump at the chance to wallow in nostalgia and jam in the aisles at Rock of Ages. But even if you missed out first time round, you are sure to have a great laugh at this Guitar Hero-meets-MTV-style show that features tunes from some of the legends of rock.
Best of all, audience participation is positively encouraged. So what are you waiting for? Pull a rock pout, get your glam rags on and strut your stuff.
Please note: May be inappropriate for under-14s due to some of the dancing, costumes and language, but you know how rock’n’roll your own kids are, so only under-4s will not be admitted.

What's the story?
It’s 1987 on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip and despite the instant attraction between wannabe rocker Drew and aspiring actress Sherrie, the path of true love is about to get decidedly rocky.
When The Bourbon Room, where the pair work, is threatened with demolition and its owner Dennis Dupree comes up with a plan to save it involving rock star Stacee Jaxx, three becomes a crowd.
Will Drew and Sherrie ever admit their feelings for each other, will the club be saved, and most importantly can rock dreams come true? Find out in this brilliantly silly, wonderfully catchy rock’n’rollercoaster of a show.
Staff Reviews
Rock of Ages is such a fun night out, and especially if you think musicals aren't your thing, this is a show that will probably suit you. It never takes itself too seriously so the comedy works perfectly, and the musical numbers are choreographed and performed so flawlessly that it's such a pleasure to watch. It's also worth noting that there isn't a single weak link in the cast - a great ensemble effort!
A fun evening. Everyone was on their feet by the end of it - a sign of a good night if ever I've seen one!
I was quite excited about Rock Of Ages prior to its West End opening. The cast all worked exceptionally hard and gave great performances. Shayne Ward as Stacee Jaxx was vocally spot on, however I felt his character could have been even more arrogant and self indulgent... something for him to work on!
What the critics say
It will rock your world
Combines two guilty pleasures in one, and a hefty dose of self mockery
One of the most unashamedly fun nights out you can have in the West End
Has absolutely got it all
High-energy feel-good nostalgia that will put a smile on your face
Cheerfully cheesy
A riotous trip down Eighties rock’s memory lane will send you into a foot-stomping frenzy
