It's 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small-town girl met a big-city dreamer - and in L.A.'s most legendary  rock club, they fall in love to the greatest songs of the 80's. It's ROCK OF AGES, a hilarious, feelgood love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more.

Los Angeles paints the backdrop for ROCK OF AGES both on stage and throughout its development. The show had King King is the Hollywood Boulevard nightclub where the earliest incarnation of ROCK OF AGES opened in July of 2005. After playing four shows over two days at King King, the show played one show in August 2005 at the Warner Brothers soundstage in Los Angeles. In
