Rock of Ages Auditions

Get ready to crank up the volume and relive the glory days of big hair, wild nights, and epic guitar solos! Rock of Ages is the ultimate jukebox musical packed with the greatest rock anthems of the ‘80s—from Journey to Bon Jovi to Whitesnake. It’s loud, it’s funny, it’s over-the-top, and it’s a party every single night. If you’ve ever dreamed of belting out power ballads or rocking leather and sequins under the spotlight, this is the show for you.
