ROCK OF AGES Rolls Into Akron

By:

ROCK OF AGES Rolls Into Akron ImageThe mind-blowing, face melting, nothin' but a good time, audience favorite ROCK OF AGES will return to the stage with a tenth anniversary tour beginning this fall. Nominated for five Tony Awards including Best Musical, the all new production will play Akron's E.J. Thomas Hall, November 13 and 14, 2018 as part of the 18-19 Broadway in Akron Series.

Single tickets for ROCK OF AGES in Akron are available at the E.J. Thomas Hall Ticket Office, by visiting broadwayinakron.com, or by calling 330-253-2488. Group orders may be placed by calling 800-888-9941.

It's 1987 on Hollywood's Sunset Strip when a small-town girl meets a big city rocker. As they fall in love in L.A.'s most famous rock club, ROCK OF AGES allows fans to rock out once again to their favorite '80s hits. Featuring the music of iconic bands such as Styx, Poison, Twisted Sister, and Whitesnake among many others, this Tenth Anniversary production features a dynamic new cast revisiting the larger than life characters and exhilarating story that turned ROCK OF AGES into a global phenomenon.

ROCK OF AGES opened April 7, 2009 on Broadway and played more than 2,300 performances at the Brooks Atkinson and Helen Hayes Theatres earning five Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. The show also enjoyed successful national and international tours and, in 2012, was turned into a major motion picture by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures. With a book by Chris D'Arienzo and arrangements and orchestrations by Ethan Popp, the tenth anniversary tour is being directed by Martha Banta and choreographed by Janet Rothermel.
