Set on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, a city boy from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town girl, who have both travelled to L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. Rock of Ages is a jukebox musical built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of that decade.
Rock of Ages contains strong language, sexual innuendo, suggestive dancing, drug and alcohol references, mild violence, and exaggerated rock-and-roll stereotypes, all presented in an over-the-top, comedic style.
