The cast also includes Ryan M. Hunt as Dennis, Chris Renalds as Franz, Kristina Walz as Regina, Kenya Hamilton as Justice, and Andrew Tebo as Hertz, with ensemble members Michael Bojtos, Emily Croft, Kyle Jurassic, Mark LaDuke, Carlina Parker, Darrell Wayne Purcell, Stephen Rochet, Zoe Unkovich, and Brenna Wahl.
A scrappy blend of 1980s nostalgia and legit rock musicianship, Rock of Ages incorporates a parade of ’80s hits, including “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “I Wanna Know What Love Is,” “Here I Go Again,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” The show’s book is by Chris D’Arienzo.
Rock of Ages opened Off-Broadway at New World Stages in the fall of 2008 before transferring to Broadway the following spring, picking up five 2009 Tony Award nominations including Best Musical. Rock of Ages ran for 2,328 performances before closing in January 2015. A screen adaptation was released in 2012.
