School of Rock: The Broadway Musical

About the Event

Get ready to Rock! Based on the hit movie, School of Rock combines the talents of some of the biggest names in showbiz to create a musical that will leave you grinning and grooving for days! Andrew Lloyd Webber, Julian Fellowes and Glenn Slater take Mike White’s tale of an ne’er‐do‐well would‐be musician turned substitute teacher, and turn it into a musical that has multiple Tony and Olivier nominations to its credit, without sacrificing key elements of the film’s hit‐studded soundtrack.

Down on his luck, and out of work, aspiring rocker Dewey Finn pretends to be his best friend in order to take a substitute teacher position at a prestigious prep school. Although hardly a natural in the classroom, Dewey finds many hidden talents in his fifth‐grade students, and creates a group to take on the Battle of the Bands. The kids’ success teaches the adults around them a few lessons along the way, and everyone involved can look forward to a Rockin’ future!

From its spiritual home on New York’s ‘Great White Way’ the Broadway musical has been packing the audiences in for over a century. Legendary writers such as Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman, and Stephen Sondheim, or partnerships like the Gershwins , Lerner & Loewe, Rogers & Hammerstein, Kander & Ebb, and Boublil & Schönberg, have created spectacular vehicles for star performers – so‐called ‘triple threats’, who sing, dance, and act with equal talent – and powerful ensembles alike. Running the gamut from spectacular to stark and restrained, musical theatre can be pure frivolous fun, but has a long history of tackling serious social and political issues. Always primed for reinvention, alongside Broadway’s perennial hits and classics, musical theatre has a new vigor in the twenty first century, as live‐action Disney, rap and ‘jukebox’ shows light up new theaters, and attract new audiences. The Show will indeed Go On!

School of Rock is the perfect musical experience for all children and the young at heart. This comedy will have you laughing and rocking all the way home!
