GOODMAN THEATER
170 N Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60601
ROCK N ROLL
Rock 'n' Roll is a sweeping and passionate love story that spans two countries, three generations and 22 turbulent years - from the Prague Spring of 1968 to the Velvet Revolution of 1990. Dont miss this critically and popularly acclaimed hit straight from Broadway and Londons West End.
This extraordinary theatrical event, from four-time Tony Award® winner Tom Stoppard (The Coast of Utopia), comes to Broadway.
It's August 1968, and Russian tanks are rolling in to Prague... Jan, the Czech student, lives for rock music, Max, the English professor, lives for Communism and Esme, the flower child, is high. By 1990, the tanks are rolling out, the Stones are rolling in and idealism has hit the wall. Stoppard's sweeping and passionate play spans two countries, three generations and 22 turbulent years, at the end of which love remains - and so does rock 'n' roll.
Stoppard's extensive body of work includes The Invention of Love, Arcadia, The Real Thing, Night and Day, Jumpers and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. The premiere of Rock 'n' Roll marks the 40th anniversary since Stoppard was introduced to Broadway audiences.
