Cast members from the original Broadway production of Rock of Ages performed hits from the show on top of the Times Square Hard Rock Café April 25.
The long-running, Tony-nominated musical is set to return to New World Stages, the home of its original 2008 Off-Broadway premiere, June 19 for a limited engagement. The show will reflect the staging and production designs from the Broadway original, which ran from April 2009–January 2015, playing 2,350 performances and launching a successful national tour and subsequent film adaptation.
