WIN Tickets To See The Smash Hit, Rock of Ages, At Montecasino!

Rock of Ages Has Arrived!

“Come on, feel the noize!” Broadway’s smash hit musical, Rock of Ages, will rock Montecasino’s Teatro for the very first time. This jukebox musical features 28 classic rock songs from the 1980s, including hits like Don’t Stop Believin', The Final Countdown, Here I Go Again and many more. As the humorous, high-energy storyline unfolds, the audience will take a journey down memory lane, while singing along to rock anthems that come alive on stage. Rock of Ages is a feel-good stage production where audiences are rocking in their seats at every performance. The extraordinary characters and epic story that turned Rock of Ages into a global phenomenon are brought to life by a dynamic all-South Africa cast, band and production team. The star-studded Rock of Ages cast features this country’s finest talent across the entertainment spectrum including musical theatre, television shows, concerts, movies and recording artists.

About Rock of Ages

Nominated for five Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, Rock of Ages captures the iconic era that was the big bad 1980s Hollywood. The nostalgic rock anthems include the music of Bon Jovi, Journey, Twisted Sister, Styx, Poison, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar and many other great rock bands - this musical truly is larger than life. After six years on Broadway, followed by a Las Vegas season and a nationwide tour of the USA and productions across the globe, this smash hit musical guarantees an evening of “high energy feel-good nostalgia” (Sunday Express) and a show that’s “impossible to resist” (New York Times).

Rock of Ages is a rock ‘n roll romance, set on the Sunset Strip in The Bourbon Room, the last epic venue where the legendary Stacee Jaxx returns to the stage and rock-n-roll dreamers line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Rock of Ages is a seriously mindless, ridiculously enjoyable glamour-rock musical that's not to be missed! It’s the hilarious book by Chris D’Arienzo that drives the piece. There’s great comedy, stellar performances and great music – all the ingredients of a great night out! Please note: Adult themes, PG13 is recommended. Rock of Ages
