Rock of Ages

Still rocking after 5 years on Broadway and following 3 years of ovation-inducing performances in London’s West End, the legendary Rock of Ages now heads out on UK Tour starring Ben Richards (9to5 The Musical, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Guys & Dolls) as rock god Stacee Jaxx and Noel Sullivan (Priscilla Queen of the Desert, We Will Rock You) as Drew Boley.

This 80s-themed hilarious musical features over 30 eyebrow scorching tunes 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.

The critical consensus

Flaws aside, Sullivan, Richards, Farnworth and Co ensure that if you're a fan you'll be in rock "Heaven" If you're not tough, it might be more of a case of "Here I Go Again.''

Bright spots come courtesy of some terrific performances.

The onstage band is terrific, the mood is irresistibly can-do and upbeat and the central image of a bunch of chaotic Sunset Strip rockers defending their venue from demolition still has powerful resonances today.
