Rock of Ages @ Paramount Theatre

Looks like this event has already taken place.

Wed, Apr 13 – Sun, May 29, 2022

23 East Galena Boulevard, Aurora, IL 60505

Relive some of the biggest, baddest rock songs of all time.

Nominated for five Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Rock of Ages will take you back into the iconic music era of the 80’s, where rock-n-roll dreamers line up to turn their fantasies into reality — and you can be in the front row to watch it all come to life..

Just a small-town girl with Hollywood dreams meets a big-city boy chasing his rock-star fantasies on the infamous sunset strip in L.A. With the historic Bourbon Room as the backdrop, their love story unfolds right where the biggest names in rock got their start — all told through the mind-blowing hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Styx, Poison and more.

Go back to when rock was king, and every song was a kingmaker. Relive some of the biggest, baddest rock songs of all time including “Just Like Paradise,” “Sister Christian,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling,” “Hit Me With Your Best Shot,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and a whole lot more.
