Rock of Ages at Lucie Stern Theatre

Big hair and even bigger dreams collide in this jukebox musical set on the sensationally sleazy Sunset Strip in late-’80s Los Angeles. The production centers around Drew, an aspiring rock & roller, and Sherrie, an aspiring actress. The two fall for each other hard and fast. But living the fast life isn’t easy—as the two soon learn. Chock-full of cock-rock needle drops—from Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” to Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again”—Rock of Ages recalls the era of mascara metal with a fondness that only those who truly lived it can appreciate. It runs through May 13. (NV)
