Are you ready to rock?! Rock of Ages storms onto the stage at Theater West End in Downtown Sanford!

Get ready to party like it’s the '80s with “Rock of Ages”! This high-energy, hair-metal musical takes you on a wild ride through the biggest rock hits of the decade.


Set in the heart of the Sunset Strip, Rock of Ages follows a love story filled with laughs, epic guitar riffs, and a whole lot of spandex. Grab your friends, throw on your leather jacket, and get ready to sing along to a night of rock ‘n’ roll


Rock of Ages takes to the stage at Theater West End in downtown Sanford from July 11 - August 17, 2025, with tickets starting at only $25.


Check out the latest theater and performing arts news from throughout Central Florida.



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 Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes).


But the rock ’n’ 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, Sherri 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.
