Get ready to crank up the volume and step back into the wild, electric world of the 1980s—because Rock of Ages is roaring into Cocoa Village Playhouse for an unforgettable run May 1 through May 17 as part of CVP’s 36th Season (2025–2026)!
If you’ve ever dreamed of neon lights, leather jackets, big hair, and even bigger music, this show is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Rock of Ages is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud jukebox musical that celebrates the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll with the kind of soundtrack that makes you want to throw your fist in the air and sing at the top of your lungs.
A Story Straight from the Sunset Strip
Set on the legendary Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, the story follows an aspiring rocker and a small-town girl as they chase their dreams in a world packed with tight jeans, smoky clubs, and stadium-sized ambition. But when developers threaten to tear down their beloved rock club, the misfit crew that calls it home must come together to fight for what they love—before their music and their world disappear forever.
It’s funny, outrageous, heartfelt, and completely unapologetic in its celebration of 80s excess.
A Soundtrack Packed with Iconic Hits
One of the biggest reasons Rock of Ages has become a fan-favorite musical worldwide is its wall-to-wall lineup of legendary rock anthems. Featuring music from bands and artists like Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Styx, and more, this show delivers nonstop nostalgia.
Audience members can look forward to massive hits, including:
- “Don’t Stop Believin’”
- “We Built This City”
- “The Final Countdown”
- “Wanted Dead or Alive”
- “I Wanna Know What Love Is”
- “Here I Go Again”
Every song is a crowd-pleaser, and every moment feels like a live concert mixed with a hilarious, over-the-top comedy.
Pure Fun from Start to Finish
Rock of Ages is the kind of musical that doesn’t just entertain—it throws a party. With outrageous characters, hilarious scenes, and enough hair spray energy to fill the entire theatre, this show is guaranteed to have audiences laughing, cheering, and singing along.
Whether you lived through the 80s or just love the music, Rock of Ages is a feel-good blast that captures everything people love about rock ‘n’ roll: rebellion, romance, friendship, and the belief that music can save the day.
