Local Tipperary musical society set to stage classic rock musical

Tipperary Musical Society is set to stage "Rock of Ages."

"Rock of Ages" is a jukebox musical built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of that decade.

The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe, among other well-known rock bands.

During the show, the performers frequently break the fourth wall, directly addressing the audience and seemingly forgetting, or perhaps reminding the audience, that they are actors in a musical.

The group is rehearsing two nights a week, and all day Sunday in St Annes School, so they are right in the thick of preparations.

They also had their cast photoshoot last weekend.

The group says they were also delighted to have Kieran Hickey with them on Sunday to celebrate his 80th Birthday.

Kieran has been a member of the society in all capacities since he and a few more founded it as it is now, in 1981.

Tickets for Rock of Ages go on sale this Monday, February 27, for the general public at 10am form the Excel Tipperary, or from tipperaryexcel.com.

The group has patrons priority booking this Friday, January 24.
