The new musical Rocky, which is based on the Sylvester Stallone Oscar winning movie, tells the poignant story of a boxer who is all but washed up and his opportunity to finally get his one chance at the big fight. Rocky, The Musical, offers an original score, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens (Tony winners Ragtime) and a book by Thomas Meehan (Tony winner Annie, The Producers and Hairspray). Rocky, The Musical, which features a gritty, realistic boxing finale between Rocky and Apollo Creed, premiered in Hamburg, Germany to acclaim.
