BroadwayWorld has learned that due to scheduling issues, the Chicago run of the the Britney Spears musical ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME has been pushed to April 14, 2020 - May 17, 2020.

The 10th Anniversary Production of ROCK OF AGES is now playing a limited return engagement in New York City at New World Stages (340 W 50th St) through Sunday, October 6, 2019. Check out highlights of the cast in action below!

When bookwriter Chris D'Arienzo's 1980s hair-band tuner Rock of Ages moved from Off-Broadway's New World Stages to the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in April of 2009 - with a score made up of rock classics by Journey, Styx, Asia, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, Foreigner and a bunch of others - it was, to this reviewer's recollection, the first Broadway jukebox musical to acknowledge the silliness of jamming hit songs into an unrelated story.

ROCK OF AGES will host special 'Yankees Night' at New World Stages on Wednesday, July 31 at 8PM, to benefit the Carlos Beltran Foundation. Six-time All-Star CC Sabathia will make his stage debut in a one-night-only cameo in the musical's 10th Anniversary production, followed by a special curtain call dedication by current and former Yankee players.
