Announcing...The "Rock of Ages After-Party at The China Club"!

Hey, Rockers!

Have you ever wanted to…

…keep the party going after the last piece of confetti falls at a performance of “Rock of Ages”?

…relive the rock and roll heyday of the superclubs of New York City in the 1980’s?

…party with the cast of Broadway’s most awesome musical, digging killer drink specials and listening to mind-blowing live music?


Well, listen up, my babies! Your wishes have come true…presented by Absolut Vodka, WPLJ, “Rock of Ages”, The China Club, and Capstone Music & Entertainment, we proudly announce…

The “Rock of Ages" After-Party at The China Club!

Every Tuesday night starting July 14th, come party with the cast from “Rock of Ages” and Special Invited Guests at the legendary China Club (next door to the Brooks Atkinson Theater).

And wait, it gets even better…go see “Rock of Ages” at 7PM on Tuesday then bring your ticket next door to The China Club and get in for $5, where you can meet up with the cast after the show for live music from the 80’s and featuring special guest performers.

If you can’t get in to see “Rock of Ages” though, don’t worry (be happy)! Come over to The China Club anyway for a $10 cover and still party with the cast and special guests.

Doors open at 5PM and the party will go on to 2AM and will be hosted by “The Cry of The Strip”’s own Miss Lizzy (hey, that’s me!).

Rock on and we’ll see you soon!
