Rock Of Ages is an LA love story lavished with more than 25 rock anthems, including Don't Stop Believin', We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Wanted Dead Or Alive, Here I Go Again, Can't Fight This Feeling and I Want To Know What Love Is, played by a live band.

Youth members of Brierley Hill Musical Theatre Company (BHMTC) are ready to rock having had a priceless opportunity to meet the cast of the UK touring production of ROCK OF AGES at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre ahead of performing their own production of the show in July.

Taking us back to a world of hideous stonewashed denim, huge hair and even bigger rock anthems, Rock of Agesis on a new national tour. The jukebox musical has been doing the rounds since it first appeared in Hollywood in 2005, but this particular version shows that it has not aged well. The paper-thin plot focuses on sweet Southern gal Sherrie arriving in LA's bright lights. Here she meets the sweet and clean-cut Drew at the Bourbon Club. With the threatened demolition of the club as a background, Sheree is drawn into the murky LA underworld where she ends up working in a strip club. After various misunderstandings, the show concludes with a vaguely happy ending; so far, so predictable.

Strictly Come Dancing 2018 winner Kevin Clifton will be swapping the ballroom for the bourbon club this Spring when the award-winning Rock of Ages powers into Coventry.
