ROCK OF AGES at The Lyric Theatre

ROCK OF AGES takes audiences all the way back to 1987 to the fabled West Hollywood club, the Bourbon Room, on Los Angeles's infamous Sunset Strip. Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, have both landed up in Los Angeles to chase their dreams of making it big. Featuring twenty-eight nostalgic rock anthems including the music of Pat Benatar, Styx, Twisted Sister, Poison, Foreigner, Reo Speedwagon and more, ROCK OF AGES pays homage to the big rock concerts of the eighties and celebrates a time when big glamour rock bands were the epitome of decadence, superficiality, oversized egos, never-ending guitar solos, extreme clothes and outrageous hairstyles. The South African premiere of this five-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical stars Claire Taylor, Josh Ansley, Zak Hendrikz, Craig Urbani, Mpumelelo Mayiyane, Andrew Webster, Natasha van der Merwe, Neels Clasen, Schoeman Smit, Thokozani Nzima, Stefan van Huyssteen, Yamikani Maka-Phiri, Louise Duhain, Chantal Stanfield, Kyra Green and Ashleigh Butcher, and is directed by Elizma Badenhorst, with musical direction by Wessel Odendaal and choreography by Weslee Lauder.
