The musical is based on the popular 2003 Paramount Pictures film about down-and-out rock guitarist Dewey Finn, who takes a job as a substitute teacher. But instead of sticking to the syllabus, he teaches his kids about the glory of rock, organizes them into a rock group and enters them in a Battle of the Bands — much to the displeasure of the school principal.
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) and Glenn Slater (Sister Act, Love Never Dies). The production also features choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Natasha Katz, sound design by Mick Potter and music supervision by Ethan Popp.
Warner Bros. Records released the original Broadway cast album Dec. 4.
Tickets can be ordered online at Schoolofrockthemusical.com/tickets or by phone at (800) 447-7400. The Winter Garden is located at 1634 Broadway between 50th and 51st Streets.
Created and performed by Sydney-based comedian and visual artist Sam Kissajukian, the show comes to New York directly from a sold-out engagement at Edinburgh Fringe Festival
From classics like Les Misérables to current shows like The Outsiders, now you can place your favorite Playbill covers wherever your theatre kid heart desires.
