"We have made a lot of friends over the years so you never know who might stop by and jump on stage."

ROCK OF AGES at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood promises to be more than just a great rock show with some of the best Broadway talent. To commemorate ROCK OF AGES' return to Hollywood Boulevard, producers have imagined a fully immersive experience bringing the shows' legendary Bourbon Room to life. The 250-seat theater is connected to a 4,000 square foot bar and nightlife venue with a menu by celebrity chef Todd English and bar experience by Andy Paxson and Dave Gibbs, known for Augustine Wine Bar and Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks. The Bourbon Room will be a prime new Hollywood hangout offering a full-service menu with upscale culinary options, craft cocktails and fine wine to be enjoyed by theatergoers, locals, and tourists alike, with or without a ticket to the show. The space has been designed and is being brought to life by the team at BUILT Inc., known for their design at hugely popular LA venues such as Guys Bar, Trousdale, Bootsy Bellows, The Nice Guy, The Peppermint Club and Pink Taco.

Featuring some of the greatest rock anthems and power ballads of the 80s, Previews for Rock of Ages will begin on Wednesday, October 23 with 6 shows a week performing Wednesday through Sunday.
