The story takes place in 1985, in the fictional town of White Rocks, California. The musical follows two main characters, Drew Boley, a young and ambitious nerd, and Deena DeMarco, the beautiful and popular lead singer of the girl group, The Belles. Drew and Deena fall in love, but their social differences and the machinations of a ruthless record executive, Benji Applebaum, threaten to tear them apart.

The "Rock of Ages" musical script is more than just a collection of hit songs. It’s a hilarious, heartfelt, and high-octane love letter to the 1980s, filled with memorable characters and a story about fighting for your dreams.

At its core, "Rock of Ages" is more than just a jukebox musical filled with 80s rock hits. It's a story about the transformative power of music, the struggle for identity and self-expression, and the clash between creativity and commercialism.

Critics and audiences alike have focused on how the script functions as a "jukebox musical." Many reviews praise its filled with raunchy jokes and fourth-wall-breaking sight gags. Reviewers note that the script's primary goal is to serve as a framework to include as many arena anthems as possible, and in this, it succeeds wildly. The book is often described as "gleefully satirical" and "indulgently campy," a self-aware parody that never takes itself too seriously. However, some critics point out that the plot is clichéd and predictable , with the script not allowing enough time for natural character development. Despite this, most agree that the sheer fun of the musical numbers and the energy of the production outweigh the script's shortcomings, making it a "guilty pleasure" for many. For an audience simply looking for a wild night of nostalgia and rock music, the book provides a perfectly serviceable and highly entertaining vehicle.
