ROCK OF AGES to Play Wharton Center, 4/6

By:

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 ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more. Don't miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on at Wharton Center on April 6, 2014. Tickets go on sale Friday, January 17 at 10:00 a.m. and will be available online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800- WHARTON.

ROCK OF AGES is a worldwide phenomenon with a smash hit production in London, Stockholm, Las Vegas and still rockin' on Broadway, featuring 28 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".
