FOLLOWING a three-year run in London’s West End, Hampshire audiences will get the chance to enjoy Rock of Ages The Musical in the autumn.

See it in Southampton's Mayflower Theatre from September 9-13.

Ben Richards will star as rock god Stacee Jaxx, and most recently he appeared at Mayflower Theatre as Captain Hook in Peter Pan.

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. 

Noel Sullivan stars alongside Ben Richards as Drew Boley. Noel is currently playing 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. 

Rock of Ages is the ultimate rock mix-tape musical, an 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 memorable tunes such as We Built This City, The Final Countdown, I Wanna Know What Love Is and Don’t Stop Believin, 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 guitar in the aisles.
