The music that ignited a generation is going to heat up San Francisco! The classic rock love story of the decade erupts into Broadway's best party, all to the sounds of such feel-good, 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 plays the Curran Theatre (445 Geary Street) March 8 through April 9 as part of the 2010-2011 Best of Broadway series under the direction of Carole Shorenstein Hays.

In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl met a big city rocker and in LA's most famous rock club they fell in love to the greatest songs of the 80s. This is multiple Tony Award nominee ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, Night Ranger, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more.
