Overview

Seriously, it’s a comedy, rock musical. What else do I need to say?

Rock of Ages, produced by Rodney Rigby is currently on a US National tour and the shows begin at QPAC next Saturday for a strictly limited season. So, it’s coined as an incredibly funny musical about a young aspiring rock star, Drew, who meets and falls in love with a girl named Sherrie through a volley of the greatest rock songs ever written. Drew is portrayed by Justin Burford who you may know from End of Fashion, so you know he’s got talent and definitely a good voice. Sherrie is the alias of Amy Lehpamer, a well recognised actress who’s recently been in some impressive musicals and appears in the series The Pacific.

As well as being able to sit and sing along to the songs your dad wouldn’t turn off in the car as a kid, you also get to admire the ridiculous hair styles and costumes that some of us wish we still could get away with, all while relishing the two and a half hours of a musical with an incredible reputation. Rock of Ages has been nominated for a spectacular repertoire of awards including Musical of the Year.

So tease your hair, put on your flares and get ready for Rock of ages to rip out your inner Gene Simmons.
