Rock of Ages: The Musical blasts its way to Theatre Royal Brighton
For those about to rock…
Following a three year run in London’s West End and five years in Las Vegas and New York, Theatre Royal Brighton audiences will get the chance to enjoy Rock of Ages: The Musical when it visits the Theatre from Monday 11 – Saturday 16 August.
Rock of Ages: The Musical is the ultimate rock mix-tape musical, a hilarious story of dreams, love, and – of course – rock. A celebration of classic ‘80s rock culture, the show tells the story of a small town girl and a big city rocker falling in love to the greatest songs of the decade.
Featuring over 30 eyebrow scorching tunes such as ‘We Built This City’, ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘I Wanna Know What Love Is’ and ‘Don’t Stop Believing’, the show brings its wild celebration of Los Angeles rock culture to the UK.
Warning: this show may unleash your inner rock god, and have you reaching for your air guitars in the aisles!
Ben Richards will star as rock god Stacee Jaxx . Richards is best known for playing Bruno Milligan in ITV hit television series Footballers Wives, along with roles in The Bill and Holby City, and as a regular judge on the BBC’s Strictly Dance Fever. He returns to the stage in Rock of Ages after an extensive career in London’s West End and around the UK.
Richards’ previous theatre credits include a role as Sky Masterton in Guys and Dolls (West End and UK tour), Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever (West End and UK tour), and Jerry Lukowski in The Full Monty (West End). His film credits include Julie and the Cadillacs and Bring Me The Head of Mavis Davis.
Noel Sullivan stars alongside Ben Richards as Drew Boley. Noel played Tick in the UK and Ireland tour of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and has previously starred as Galileo in We Will Rock You and Danny Zuko in Grease, both in the West End. Sullivan is also well-known as a member of the pop group Hear’Say, completing multiple arena tours with the band. Other of his theatre credits include young Yusef Islam in Moonshadow (Royal Albert Hall), Black Mountain Male Chorus of Wales (US Tour) and Nick Piazza in Fame: The Musical (Edinburgh Playhouse).
You’d be hard pushed not to recognise him, as Sullivan’s extensive TV credits include Gavin and Stacey, Popstars, Meet the Popstars, Hear’say It’s Saturday, Hear’say the Next Chapter, The Royal Variety Show and Top Of The Pops.
