Rock of Ages
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net hairspray, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, "The Bourbon Room", a place where rock god and 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 cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherrie, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist mall.  The young would-be lovers chase their dreams, but a misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.

Can Drew, Sherrie and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it's too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Twisted Sister, REO Speedwagon, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.

Listen to what our audience members thought of Rock of Ages at our opening weekend.

“Went to see ROCK OF AGES last night! Awesome! Cool, corny, crude and absolutely Hilarious!   Do yourself a favour, grab some mates and head on down to Rockdale Town Hall! Sing along (you’ll know all the songs) and enjoy the ride!”

"Had the pleasure of watching a brilliant performance of ROCK OF AGES at Rockdale Town Hall last night.
Was smiling and tapping my foot the entire time!"

"Superb, professional and convincing talent make this production that features ‘80’s rock songs, one not to miss.
Highly recommend!"
