Editorial Review
The Broadway transfer, which still features the same smattering of top 40 hits from the 1980s, will also retain American Idol's Constantine Maroulis in the lead role, as well as adding Amy Spanger (The Wedding Singer, Kiss Me Kate) and James Carpinello (Saturday Night Fever) to the cast.
The rising nostalgia for the 1980s, its timeless music, and the classic “hair bands” whose sonic power filled the airwaves and the clubs on L.A.'s Sunset Strip have led to the creation of Rock of Ages, a rock musical set in Hollywood in 1986, when it was all about big chords, big dreams, and… big hair! The new musical explores the pursuit of dreams—some come true, some are cut short and some change along the way. No matter what, the persistence of the human heart is what matters, so "Don't Stop Believin'"!
Rock of Ages tells its story through hits from iconic groups such as Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Foreigner, Poison, Night Ranger, Twisted Sister, Asia, Whitesnake and rockers like Pat Benatar and Joan Jett.
