ROCK OF AGES Closes at the Van Wezel
From Australia to London to South Korea and Broadway, the worldwide phenomenon ROCK OF AGES will make its Sarasota debut on the Van Wezel stage Jan. 3 & 4 @ 8 PM, with classic rock tunes including "Don't Stop Believin'", "We Built This City", "The Final Countdown", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Here I Go Again", "Harden My Heart", "Can't Fight this Feeling", "Renegade" and "I Want To Know What Love Is"!
In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small-town girl met a big-city dreamer – and in L.A.'s most legendary rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the '80's. It's smash hit ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more. This 5 time Tony nominated musical, with a motion picture in the works (starring Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Alec Baldwin, Katherine Zeta Jones, Mary J. Blige, and Russell Brand) is rockin' its way to Sarasota. Don't miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on!
ROCK OF AGES is directed by Tony Award Nominee Kristin Hanggi (Bare, Pussycat Dolls on the Sunset Strip) and choreographed by Kelly Devine (Jersey Boys – Associate Choreographer). With a book by Chris D'Arienzo (writer and director of the film Barry Munday), original arrangements by David Gibbs (Counting Crows, Film: That Thing You Do) and the Music Supervision, Arrangements & Orchestrations by Ethan Popp (Tarzan; Europe: We Will Rock You, Mamma Mia).
Tickets prices range from $30.00-$75.00. For more information and to buy tickets, contact the Van Wezel Box office at (941)953-3368 or log onto www.vanwezel.org. Sponsored by Wilde Lexus of Sarasota and ABC 7
