Theatre Breaks for School of Rock are now available
After breaking box office records when it opened on Broadway in December 2015, the London production of the high octane new musical School of Rock is now ripping up a storm on UK shores to 2020!
Theatrebreaks.com says : A fantastic show for ages 8 to 80 years. Find your inner rock-god and be amazed by the talents of the young musicians playing their own instruments live on stage. Jaw-droppingly good!
School of Rock was a 2003 hit film starring Jack Black as wannabe rock star Dewey Finn who, having been fired from his band, talks his way into a job as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Not one to follow conventional education methods, Dewey finds his class of disinterested teens have a multitude of hidden musical talents. But can Dewey bring out the inner rock god in his pupils and get them to the final of the Battle of the Bands?
Speaking about the London production, musical maestro Lloyd Webber said: “I am thrilled to announce that we are confirming a West End production of School Of Rock. We have had such a great time in the US staging the world premiere and now that we have opened on Broadway, I am delighted to be focussing on the next chapter in the show’s journey.”
Featuring all of the original music from the film plus 14 new songs written by Lloyd Webber, School Of Rock has a script written by Julian Fellows (Downton Abbey) and will have a kids band playing live on stage.
Casting news : From August, Craig Gallivan will lead the cast in the role of Dewey Finn with Laura Tebbutt as Rosalie Mullins, Alan Pearson as Ned Schneebly, Michelle Francis as Patty DiMarco and Jake Sharp who will play Dewey Finn at certain performances all alongside the three teams of thirteen kids who make up Dewey’s band.
