We Built This City / Too Much Time On My Hands
by Rock Of Ages Cast
REGINA:
Mayor, we don't really know the first thing about these people, or even what they want to build!
HERTZ:
SAY YOU DON'T KNOW ME,
OR RECOGNIZE MY FACE
SAY YOU DON'T CARE WHO GOES
TO THAT KIND OF PLACE
REGINA:
KNEE DEEP IN THE HOOPLA
SINKING IN YOUR FIGHT
HERTZ;
TOO MANY RUNAWAYS
HERTZ & FRANZ:
EATING UP THE NIGHT!
HERTZ:
MARCONI PLAYS THE MAMBA
REGINA:
LISTEN TO THE RADIO!
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
WE BUILT THIS CITY
WE BUILT THIS CITY ON...
MAYOR:
Clean, efficient living?
HERTZ:
Exactly!
REGINA;
But Mayor, think about the businesses already there! What about them!?
DENNIS:
They're calling it "economic redevelopment." Apparently "The Bourbon" no longer generates an "adequate tax revenue."
LONNY:
That's why I keep telling ya we need to bring back "Naked Jello Wrestling Thursdays!" But this time, check it, we let women
enter.
DENNIS:
Maybe it's time to cash it in anyway--
DREW:
Whoa, Dennis?! What are you saying?!
DENNIS:
IT'S JUST--
I'M SITTIN' ON THIS BARSTOOL
TALKIN' LIKE A DAMN FOOL!
GOT THE TWELVE O'CLOCK NEWS BLUES
AND I'VE GIVEN UP HOPE
FOR THE AFTERNOON SOAPS...
AND A BOTTLE OF COLD BREW
IS IT ANY WONDER I'M NOT CRAZY?
LONNY:
So chew a couple Prozac! Come on, Dennis!
DENNIS:
IS IT ANY WONDER I'M SANE AT ALL?
DREW:
You do wash your hands a lot.
LONNY/ DENNIS/ DREW/ HERTZ/ MAYOR/ FRANZ/ REGINA
IS IT ANY WONDER I'VE GOT TOO MUCH (CLAP) TIME ON MY HANDS
DENNIS:
AND IT'S TICKIN' AWAY...
LONNY:
TICKIN' AWAY FROM ME!
So you sell, but what do I do?! "The Bourbon" is my life, man!
DENNIS:
Hold the phone! You guys see who's in today's paper?!
DREW;
Monster rockers, "Arsenal," are breaking up. According to sources, lead singer, Stacee Jaxx, will leave the band after this
tour to pursue a solo career--
DENNIS:
Perfect right? Lonny who gave Stacee and Arsenal their start?
LONNY:
We did so?
DENNIS:
So? What if we hosted their last gig...ever.
LONNY:
The last Arsenal show here?!
DENNIS:
Tell that wouldn't generate an adequate tax revenue. Plus, Stacee still owes me from that hotel incident with the Cool Whip
and the baby llama.
LONNY:
Love it.
DENNIS:
I just hope it's enough.
LONNY:
It's gotta be I mean the mayor isn't a total money grubbing whore. Wink.
REGINA:
Mayor, you're not thinking clearly.
HERTZ:
Mayor, take ze money unt...
HERTZ/ ENSEMBLE:
RID THIS CITY!
REGINA:
No!
MAYOR/ HERTZ/ FRANZ/ ENSEMBLE
RID THIS CITY OF ROCK AND ROLL!
REGINA:
NOT THIS CITY
MAYOR:
Regina, you're fired.
MAYOR/ HERTZ/ FRANZ/ ENSEMBLE:
WE'LL RID THIS CITY OF ROCK AND ROLL!!
REGINA:
You're not gonna get away with this!
LONNY:
I can't believe you still have his number.
DENNIS:
Stacee? It's Denbo.
STACEE JAXX:
Who?
DENNIS:
Dennis, Dennis Dupree. Listen, how would you like to do your "Arsenal" farewell show here at "The Bourbon?"
STACEE JAXX:
Yeah, well we already got something planned for our last tour gig in Portland. So ah...
DENNIS:
I understand that. but just imagine for a second your last gig in a place that started it all. A lot of press on something
like that.
STACEE JAXX:
Yeah it sounds cool but ah...
DENNIS:
And of course, we'd put your name ABOVE the band. Stacee Jaxx and Arsenal. One night only. Right before a solo album...Which,
just between you and me, I'm so glad you're doing. You know what I always used to say about you.
STACEE JAXX:
What?
DENNIS:
WELL, YOU'RE A JET FUEL GENIUS
YOU CAN SOLVE THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS
WITHOUT EVEN TRYIN'
STACEE JAXX:
It's true.
I HAVE DOZENS OF FRIENDS
AND THE FUN NEVER ENDS
THAT IS, AS LONG AS I'M BUYIN'
IS IT ANY WONDER I'M NOT THE PRESIDENT?
DENNIS:
I'd vote for you, Stacee.
STACEE JAXX:
IS IT ANY WONDER I'M NULL AND VOID?
DENNIS:
I don't even know what that means.

TOO MUCH TIME--
HERTZ:
Shall I call zee bulldozers?
DENNIS:
Remember the night you @*#!* with the baby llama?
STACEE JAXX/ MAYOR:
I'll do it.
Mayor, we don't really know the first thing about these people, or even what they want to build!

Waiting For A Girl Like You
by Rock Of Ages Cast
LONNY:
Ah, the muses of love. Many a great lyric has called upon their siren song...And now my boy Drew is feeling the magic too.
DREW:
So long
I've been looking too hard
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes I don't know what I will find
I only know it's a matter of time
When you love someone...
When you love someone
SHERRIE:
It feels so right
So warm and true
I need to know if you feel it too
DREW:
Maybe I'm wrong
Won't you tell me if I'm coming on too strong
SHERRIE:
This heart of mine has been hurt before
This time I wanna be sure!
DREW;
I've been waiting for a girl like you
To come into my life
I've been waiting for a girl like you
With a love that will survive
SHERRIE:
I've been waiting for someone new
To make me feel alive
DREW/ SHERRIE:
Yeah, waiting for a girl (boy) like you
To come into my life
SHERRIE:
Drew, I'm actually kinda nervous
DREW:
Don't worry, it's cool. I mean, look, we're just a couple friends, right? Lookin' at stars, drinking wine coolers. No
pressure.
LONNY:
WHAT!? Oh man, he's gonna kick himself later for that "friend" crap. The curse of the nice guy. See, you think it's the
smart play, ease 'em in with friendship, but the fact is what they really want? What's really going on in that head?
SHERRIE:
You're so good
When we make love it's understood
It's more than a touch or a word can say
Only in dreams could it be this way
When you love someone
Yeah, really love someone
I've been waiting for a boy like you
To come into my life
Yeah, waiting for someone new...
STACEE JAXX:
To make you feel alive
Ah, the muses of love. Many a great lyric has called upon their siren song...And now my boy Drew is feeling the magic too.

Wanted Dead Or Alive
by Rock Of Ages Cast
LONNY:
Just when it seemed that love might just bust through that "friendship" wall...He came. As rock starts often do. Stacee Jaxx.
Lead singer of the band Arsenal. Yes, ladies love him. Guys want to be him...And his band? Well, they hate his guts. But he's a
star. And stars are undeniable. Like herpes. Am I right, home listener?
STACEE JAXX:
IT'S ALL THE SAME
ONLY THE NAMES HAVE CHANGED
EVERYDAY, IT SEEMS WERE WASTIN' AWAY
ANOTHER PLACE WHERE THE FACES ARE SO COLD
I'D DRIVE ALL NIGHT

I'M A COWBOY
ON A STEEL HORSE I RIDE
I'M WANTED
DEAD OR ALIVE

SOMETIMES I SLEEP
SOMETIMES IT'S NOT FOR DAYS
THE PEOPLE I MEET

SOMETIMES YOU TELL THE DAY

JUST ANOTHER HEART IN NEED OF RESCUE

The Final Countdown
by Rock Of Ages Cast
We're leaving together
but still it's farewell
and maybe we'll come back,
to earth, who can tell?
I guess there is no one to blame
we're leaving ground (leaving ground)
will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
Oh, We're heading for Venus (Venus)
and still we stand tall
cause maybe they've seen us
and welcome us all, yeah
with so many light years to go
and things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown.
The final countdown.
The final countdown (final countdown).
oh...oh
The final countdown.
Oh, it's the final countdown.

I Hate Myself For Loving You / Heat Of The Moment
by Rock Of Ages Cast
Sherrie: Hey, Jack- it's a fact they're talkin in town
I turn my back and you're messin around.
I'm not really jealous- dont like lookin like a clown.
I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away...
Stacee: I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe the smile right from my face
Sherrie(Chorus):I hate myself for loving you,
Can't break free from the things that you do.
I wanna walk but I run back to you
Thats why I hate myself for lovin you
Stacee: It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
Sherrie: I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you took my pride away...
Stacee:It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes, eyes....
Drew: That's why I hate myself for loving you
I turn my back and you're messin around.

Cant Fight This Feeling
by Rock Of Ages Cast
I cant fight this feeling any longer
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when were together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find
And even as I wander Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore.
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when were together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find

Oh Sherrie
by Rock Of Ages Cast
You should've been gone
Knowing how I made you feel
And I should've been gone
After all your words of steel
Oh, I must've been a dreamer
And I must've been someone else
And we should've been over
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, I want to let go
You'll go on hurtin' me
You'd be better off alone
If I'm not who you thought I'd be
But you know that there's a fever
Oh, that you'll never find nowhere else
Can't you feel it burnin'
On-and-on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie, our love
Holds on, holds on
Oh, Sherrie
Oh, Sherrie
But I should've been gone
Long ago, far away
And you should've been gone
Now I know you'd lie
You'll stay

Holds on, holds on

The Search Is Over
by Rock Of Ages Cast
How can I convince you what you see is real
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin, you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
Chorus:
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times its so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently youd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
(Chorus)
Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn
Youll know for certain the man I really am
(Chorus)
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin, you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
Chorus:
I was living for a dream,
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever,
The search is over
You were with me all the while
Can we last forever, will we fall apart
At times its so confusing, these questions of the heart
You followed me through changes, and patiently youd wait
Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate
(Chorus)
Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost
Broken hearts lie victims of the game
Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue
Every highway leading me back to you
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
The search has come full circle, our destinies are one
So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn
Youll know for certain the man I really am

Dont Stop Believin
by Rock Of Ages Cast
Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
(chorus)
Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

Dont stop believin

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. It was written by Chris D'Arienzo, directed by Kristin Hanggi and choreographed by Kelly Devine with music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Ethan Popp.
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. Despite the musical's title, the Def Leppard song of the same name is not included in the musical.
The original Broadway production ran for 2,328 performances, closing on January 18, 2015 tied as the 32nd-longest running show in Broadway history. Since debuting in 2009, it has spawned replica productions in Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom, as well as several touring productions.
