ROLLING THUNDER captures the pulse and drama of a momentous era: combining intimate stories, epic songs, and stunning visuals, the show transports audiences to an era of political unrest, anti-war protest and a generation on the brink of revolution. A passionate story of courage, love and resilience wraps around rock classics that defined a generation, including “Born To Be Wild,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Magic Carpet Ride,” “The Letter,” “All Along The Watchtower,” and “Help Me Make it Through the Night.” Acclaimed in Australia as “a musical and dramatic triumph” (Herald Sun) and “a must-see for any rock music or musical theatre fan” (BroadwayWorld), ROLLING THUNDER is an electrifying and emotional experience about love, endurance, bravery and loss on the battlefield and at home.
