Inside the 2 Year Celebration For School of Rock on Broadway
Based on the movie script by Mike White, School of Rock has a book by Julian Fellowes and direction by Laurence Connor. The stage musical features some songs from the film, with the rest of the score composed by Lloyd Webber (The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar), with lyrics by Glenn Slater (Sister Act, Love Never Dies).
December 6, 2017 marked 837 performances of School of Rock at the Winter Garden Theatre. The composer, once again, has the distinction of having three musicals running simultaneously on Broadway: School of Rock, Cats, and The Phantom of the Opera.
Set in a 1947 Provincetown beach house, the play unfolds over one sultry night as Tennessee Williams and a young Marlon Brando craft A Streetcar Named Desire together.
