The five-time Tony-nominated Broadway musical “Rock of Ages” will play the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 3 and 8 p.m. Feb. 15. Tickets start at $42 for adults and $21 for students.

The musical features a mix of 28 songs from the 1980s, including “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “We Built This City,” “The Final Countdown,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” “Here I Go Again,” “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “I Want to Know What Love Is.”

“ ‘Rock of Ages’ is the biggest party on Broadway,” said Bill Stephan, executive director of the Lied Center. “It’s everything you love about the movie but bigger, louder and packed with Broadway theatrics.”

Set in 1987 on the Sunset Strip in a legendary Los Angeles rock club, “Rock of Ages” is the story of a small-town girl and a big-city dreamer who meet and fall in love to the greatest songs of the era.

“Rock of Ages” is directed by Tony award nominee Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Kelly Devine. The show includes book by Chris D’Arienzo, original arrangements by David Gibbs, and music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Ethan Popp.
