London Rock of Ages Shaftesbury Theatre
The Shaftesbury Theatre will begin previewing Rock of Ages from 31st August, 2011. The show is really a massive hit on Broadway and also has an Australian and US National Tour production running and now looks set to rock the West End!
Rock of Ages celebrates (glam) rock music of the 80’s featuring Material by Bon Jovi, Journey, Whitesnake, Poison, Pat Benatar and several much more. Anticipate to rock together with old favourites which includes ‘I wanna know what enjoy is’, ‘Wanted dead or alive’, ‘Every rose has its Torn’, We built this city’.
The Story: In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl meets a massive city rocker in LA’s most famous rock club and they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. It’s ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock enjoy story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits including Don’t Stop Believin’, Dead or Alive, We Built This City, I Wanna Know what Adore Is along with the Final Count Down. Do not miss this awesomely excellent time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on! Rock of Ages looks set to be the biggest party to have to town considering that Mamma Mia and will rival We Will Rock You for total rock dominance inside the West End!
