The Barn Players Stage ROCK OF AGES

Get ready for a rabble rousing, foot stomping, silly, thrilling local community theater premiere, when the monster Broadway hit ROCK OF AGES takes the stage at The Barn Players: November 8th through November 18th at The Arts Asylum: 1000 East 9th Street, (off Harrison Street), Kansas City, MO 64106.

Set amidst the electric energy of Hollywood's Sunset Strip, ROCK OF AGES is a big, brash tribute to the over-the-top gritty glamour of 1980's rock n' roll. The plot? Foreign developers plan to turn a fabled hard rock venue into yet another strip mall. Can the club's regulars possibly save the nightspot before it's too late? Can the music of hit bands like Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and more hold the answer? The score of ROCK OF AGES includes a parade of 'smash 1980's hits, including "I Wanna Know What Love Is," "Here I Go Again," and "Don't Stop Believin'." The show opened Off-Broadway in the fall of 2008 before transferring to Broadway in the following spring, picking up five 2009 Tony Award nominations, including one for Best Musical.
