If you are thinking gospel musical, wrong! “Rock of Ages” is the hit Broadway show about the 80s, with 28 song hits by Bon Jovi, Journey, Styx, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Posion, and more! Wanna be rock musician Drew and his girl Sherri fight to save Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. That’s the plot. It’s really all about the music, Bunky.
