In addition, the entire show follows a compelling theatrical narrative told via narration by acclaimed actor Richard Malmos in front of the giant Rock Vault onstage. The music, performance, and visuals come together to tell this unforgettable tale.

Written by esteemed Grammy Award-winning record producer David Kershenbaum (JOE JACKSON, TRACY CHAPMAN, SUPERTRAMP) and musician, producer and vocalist John Payne (ASIA),"Raiding The Rock Vault" was born to give audiences an important history lesson, while encouraging them to rock out as much as possible. It’s as fresh and fiery as it gets.

Payne excitedly comments: "This show will be an extravagant production melding rock and roll, stunning visuals and acting in a never-before-seen form. I am so proud to be part of this and excited to be performing alongside such legendary musicians."

Executive producer Sir Harry Cowell (a music industry veteran) adds: "I have worked on the odd rock and roll show in my career, but this is going to be the biggest and most fun of all of them. Bring it on!"

Joe Lynn Turner agrees: "'Raiding The Rock Vault' is the real deal! Others have tried to attempt a similar show but nothing will be like this! I am honored and proud to be a part of what is soon to be a part of rock and roll history!"
