Roll with the punches as the cult classic Academy Award®-winning film Rocky becomes a triumphant new musical.

Rocky: The Musical is the heart-pounding story of struggling small-time boxer Rocky Balboa, who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to fight against heavyweight champ Apollo Creed in South Philadelphia.

Determined to fight 15 rounds to the bitter end, Rocky begins a punishing training regimen under the guidance of the local gym owner, Mickey. Fueled further by his unexpected romance with Adrian, the shy little sister of his best friend Paulie, this underestimated underdog suddenly feels like he’s got something – and someone – worth fighting for. Can he go the distance if he fights from the heart?

Featuring the famous Rocky theme song and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger,” this adrenaline-fueled knockout musical about unwavering determination in the face of adversity will have you rooting for romance and cheering for the underdog.
