Rock of Ages - the best party in Los Vegas!

Of the many shows in Las Vegas Rock of ages is an actual musical. It tells a story by word, action and songs. Set in the 1980’s it features 28 hit songs from that era. It is based on the 2006 Broadway musical and the adapted 2012 movie starring Tom Cruise.

I was fortunate to see Rock of Ages tonight. It was a fun, lively performance that I thoroughly enjoyed. It combined a love story, comedy and awesome music in a high energy show.

The narrator was hilarious bringing the various scenes together. The band, lead and chorus singers, sets and lighting were brilliant and all added to the fast paced vitality of the show.

Well known songs include “We built this city”, “The final coutdown”, ” We’re not gonna to take it”, “Here I go again”, “Can’t fight this feeling”, and “I want to know what love is”.

We were given fake lighters on the way into the show, which when clicked on at the appropriate moment in the show meant that the audience was awash with tiny LED Lights.

Set in L.A.'s infamous Sunset Strip in 1987, Rock of Ages tells the story of Drew, a boy from South Detroit and Sherrie, a small-town girl, both in L.A. to chase their dreams of making it big and falling in love. Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair! Yes, back them hair do’s were big and bold.

This is Vegas' Best Party! So make sure that you go as see Rock of Ages when in Vegas!
