The Tower Theatre Foundation kicks off the 2017-2018 Live at the Tower season with Thoroughly Modern Productions’ staging of the Broadway hit “Rock of Ages”.  Multiple Tony-nominee, “Rock of Ages”, is a musical love story set on the Sunset Strip in 1987 featuring Drew, a shy kid from South Detroit, and Sherrie, a small-town Kansas girl, chasing dreams of making it big in Hollywood. The story lines are dressed up with radio-rock hits from the 1980’s, blending sincere conviction and a lot of parody. “For anyone whose youth coincided with the time period in question, the siren call of those screaming guitars and singalong choruses may be impossible to resist,” wrote the New York Times. “It’s a seriously silly, absurdly enjoyable arena-rock musical.”

Singalong and play air guitar to an electrifying mix of classic rock anthems played live onstage, including: “We Built This City,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Heat of the Moment,” and “Here I Go Again,” to name a few! Plus, the all-rock-star cast features the following local voices:

  • Drew – Erik J. McGinnis
  • Sherrie – Clairen Stone
  • Lonny – Dan Schimmoller
  • Dennis Dupree – Ryan Klontz
  • Justice – Kimmie Neff
  • Stacee Jaxx – Dakota B. Weeda
  • Regina – Kara Davison
  • Hertz – John Henry Helms III
  • Franz – Jarret Clarke
