There isn't a more audacious and pleasurable show. If you want proof that the theatre today is lively and full of energy and life, go to the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in New York and see an audience electrified.
"It's the same energy and zest we will have at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto come April 2010 when Rock Of Ages makes its Canadian debut. And this show continues a long tradition at the Royal Alex of Canadian premieres of such groundbreaking shows as Hair, Godspell and Rent."Rock Of Ages lead producers Matt Weaver and Carl Levin say: "We are thrilled to bring Rock Of Ages to audiences in Canada. Toronto is such a terrific haven for the arts and for all kinds of music. We are grateful to have the opportunity to rock out with our neighbors to the North and can't wait to show both theatre patrons and concert-goers an amazing time in a fun setting.
"We hope the musical is a hilarious, feel-good night out for all ages, from grandparents to grandkids, who share a love for the greatest songs from the 1980s."In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small town girl meets a big city rocker and in LA's most famous rock club, they fall in love to the greatest songs of the ‘80s. It's Rock Of Ages, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of JOURNEY, FOREIGNER, STYX, REO SPEEDWAGON, PAT BENATAR, TWISTED SISTER, POISON, ASIA, WHITESNAKE and many more.
