Rock of Ages musical is coming to Blackpool
The award winning musical reaches the Opera House in July.
LA love story Rock of Ages will be reaching the Opera House Blackpool on Tuesday 2 July 2019 for a short run as part of its UK tour.
The musical includes 25 classic rock anthems, including Don’t Stop Believin’, We Built This City, The Final Countdown, Here I Go Again, Can’t Fight This Feeling and I Want To Know What Love Is.
All are performed by a live band at the theatre, and come with a warning: “Contains serious rock ‘n’ roll debauchery”.
Having played in London’s West End, on Broadway and in Las Vegas, the musical has also been transformed into a Hollywood film, starring Tom Cruise, Russell Brand and Catherine Zeta-Jones among others.
The full cast for the musical, delivering the iconic songs and music, is yet to be announced.
