Drew's rocker image is upsetting the record producer, and Sherrie is learning how things work at the Venus Club ("Any Way You Want It/I Wanna Rock "). Dennis and Lonny join the fight with little success ("The Final Countdown").
Hertz and Franz begin demolition on the Sunset Strip, alienating them from each other as Franz falls for Regina and sees "the error of their ways". As the act closes, everyone is alone - Drew, as a new record company star Sherrie, fending for herself as an exotic dancer Regina protesting the redevelopment and Dennis, trying to save his club ("Here I Go Again"). Grudgingly, Sherrie accepts Justice's offer to work in her club ("Harden My Heart/Shadows of the Night"). She relates to Sherrie's story, saying that many of the small-town girls hoping to hit it big in LA end up making a living as strippers. In the midst of these events, Regina continues her protest ("We're Not Gonna Take It ").Īn upset and unemployed Sherrie meets Justice Charlier, the owner of the nearby Venus Club which Justice prefers to call a gentleman's club. Sherrie seeks comfort from Drew after she is fired, but having seen her go into the men's room with Stacee, he dismisses her ("Come on Feel the Noize"). He then offers Drew a contract, which he accepts. The record producer in the club was impressed with Drew's performance and suggests he take over for Stacee. His guitarist realizes what Stacee did and knocks him out. After their tryst, Stacee tells Dennis to fire Sherrie before the concert begins. While Stacee and Sherrie are copulating, Drew opens for Stacee and Arsenal, not knowing a record producer is in the audience. Sherrie is immediately smitten with him, and believing she means nothing to Drew, has sex with Stacee in the men's room ("I Want To Know What Love Is"). Stacee Jaxx arrives at The Bourbon and gives an interview about his life ("Wanted Dead or Alive"). There, he mistakenly suggests that the two are just friends to calm their nerves, disappointing both of them and ruining the date. After obtaining the opening slot for Arsenal, Drew invites Sherrie to have a picnic in the hills overlooking Los Angeles ("Waiting For a Girl Like You"). Also, Drew, auditioning to open for Arsenal, finds the lyrics he's been searching for and realizes that they have come from his feelings for Sherrie ("More Than Words/Heaven/To Be With You"). Later, after arguing with her parents during a phone call, Sherrie begins to discover feelings for Drew, who supports her dream. Regina begins protesting Hertz and Franz's redevelopment plans ("We're Not Gonna Take It"). As Drew struggles to write new lyrics, Sherrie urges him to go after his dreams ("I Wanna Rock"). He calls Stacee and convinces him to play the band's last show in the club where he began.
When Dennis learns that part of the plan involves demolishing The Bourbon Room, he believes the club can generate more money by having rock star Stacee Jaxx and his band Arsenal, who recently announced their break-up, perform their last show at The Bourbon ("Too Much Time on My Hands"). German developers, Hertz and his son Franz, convince the city's Mayor to abandon the "sex, drugs and rock-n-roll" lifestyle of the Sunset Strip and introduce "clean living" into the area, much to the anger of the City Planner, Regina ("We Built This City"). Drew convinces Dennis to hire Sherrie as a waitress. He falls instantly for a girl, Sherrie Christian, who just arrived from Kansas hoping to make it big in acting ("Sister Christian"). Lonny Barnett, who serves as the show's narrator, sets up the story: In 1987, an aspiring rocker named Drew Boley works as a busboy in the Hollywood bar/club called The Bourbon Room, owned by Dennis Dupree ("Just Like Paradise/Nothing But A Good Time").
