“More than a musical, ROCK OF AGES is a party featuring music that ignited a generation,” says Michael Cohl, Executive Producer and Chairman of S2BN. “It’s about fun, energy and having a great time, so it’s a natural fit for Las Vegas.”

Set in L.A.’s infamous Sunset Strip in 1987, ROCK OF AGES tells the story of Drew, a boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, both in L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. ROCK OF AGES takes you back to the times of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair! A hilarious, feel-good love story celebrating the great rock songs of the ‘80s including such sing-out-loud songs as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", "I Wanna Know What Love Is", "Here I Go Again", "Don't Stop Believin’" and more. ROCK OF AGES has been called “Impossible to resist!” by The New York Times and “Insanely funny!” by Time Out New York.

Base Entertainment is pleased to bring ROCK OF AGES to The Venetian Las Vegas on behalf of its worldwide producer S2BN,” says Scott Zeiger, co-CEO of Base Entertainment. “Audiences have raved about ROCK OF AGES across the globe and I am confident that Las Vegas will be no exception.”

“The Venetian is committed to bringing memorable entertainment experiences to our guests, and ROCK OF AGES certainly fits that bill,” says John Caparella, president and chief operating officer of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo. “ROCK OF AGES is a fun, upbeat party, and we’ve created an experience that continues even after the show, in THE BOURBON ROOM.”

Earlier this year, The Venetian debuted THE BOURBON ROOM, a lounge inspired by the bar in the musical, featuring ‘80s music videos and other hair-band antics. Theatergoers can start and continue the good times at this new venue, located near the theater.

ROCK OF AGES is a worldwide phenomenon, currently playing on Broadway, in London and on a US tour. Former productions include a North American tour, Japan, Australia, Korea, and Toronto. The show features classic rock tunes from iconic rockers including Journey, REO, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake and many more.
