Rock of Ages

Stay away from standing water—this night's gonna be electric! Rock 'n' roll never dies, and taking the stage to prove it is the Tenth Anniversary Tour of the musical phenomenon Rock of Ages. “Broadway's Best Party” is coming to the Mahalia Jackson Theater January 5–6, bringing a wave of New Orleans spirit to an already larger-than-life story and cast of characters. Whether you rocked through the 80s yourself or are just rediscovering the iconic hits, Rock of Ages is a high-energy, rollicking romp through 80s Hollywood, hitting its high notes, its low notes, and even its screaming falsetto notes you can only seem to reach singing alone in the shower. Dynamic performances and fun renditions of power rock favorites Styx, Poison, Whitesnake, Twisted Sister, and more, are sure to strike a chord. Saturday 8 pm and Sunday 2 pm. $39–$70. mahaliajacksontheater.com.
