Rock of Ages

Back to the 80s: the time of mullet hairstyles, casual outfits and wicked electric guitar sounds and above all: the greatest rock anthems of all time live!

It's going to be dirty, it's going to be loud, it's going to be awesome!

ROCK OF AGES is the live spectacle that doesn't take itself too seriously and is guaranteed to leave out no cliché of the unmistakable 80s. Love story or rocking homage, musical or parody? ROCK OF AGES is simply everything and definitely too much of everything. The bombastic and award-winning musical can be seen in Germany, Austria and, for the first time, Switzerland until the beginning of June 2024. 

 

We celebrate the soundtrack of an entire generation!
The audience will experience real rockers (not those musical princes), a wicked live band and the real attitude to life of a time that was really sexy. Over 25 legendary world hits such as HERE I GO AGAIN (Whitesnake), THE FINAL COUNTDOWN (Europe), CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING (REO Speedwagon) and I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (Foreigner) are guaranteed to make every theater tremble until the concrete crumbles.

We built this city on rock'n'roll!
Rock of Ages is set in Los Angeles in the 80s: studded belts and ripped jeans reign in the legendary rock club “Bourbon Room” on the infamous Sunset Strip. This is where small-town girl Sherrie meets big-city boy Drew - but the love story between the naive waitress and the serene bartender fails before it has even really begun.

Because the city wants to clean up the Sunset Strip - the existence of the “Bourbon Room” is under threat. A charity concert by the successful rock band “Arsenal” is supposed to flush money into the club operator's empty coffers. But with the appearance of the eccentric lead singer Stacee Jaxx, disaster takes its course...
