ROCK OF AGES Opens at The Venetian Las Vegas

Last night (January 5, 2013) the high-octane musical ROCK OF AGES opened at The Venetian Las Vegas to an enthusiastic, full house at the Rock of Ages Theatre. The production is a hilarious, feel-good love story that celebrates the great rock songs of the '80s including "Here I Go Again," "Don't Stop Believin'," "We Built This City," "Wanted Dead or Alive," and more.

The high-energy performance had the crowd rockin' out all night long with the audience waving hundreds of LED lighters in the air during the heartfelt ballads and singing and dancing on their feet during the finale. Director Kristin Hanggi and Choreographer Kelly Devine were also in the theater supporting the cast and at curtain call they joined the cast on stage to celebrate opening night. The talented cast includes Kyle Lowder as Stacee Jaxx, Carrie St. Louis as Sherrie, Justin Mortelliti as Drew, Mark Shunock as Lonny, Troy Burgess as Dennis, and Robert Torti as Hertz.
