Heanor Musical Theatre Company are presenting Rock Of Ages at Mansfield Palace Theatre, from 21st–23rd April, 7.30pm (plus 2.30pm Saturday matinee).

It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood and the party has been raging hard. Aqua Net, Lycra, lace and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality.

Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherrie, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock and roll fairy-tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherrie and the gang save the strip–and themselves–before it’s too late?

Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.
