School Of Rock The Musical on Broadway Tickets
Hit Jack Black movie School of Rock receives the Broadway treatment in School of Rock the Musical. Bringing loveable rogue Dewey Finn and his bunch of rocking pre-teens to New York, this new offering from Andrew Lloyd Webber runs at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Andrew Lloyd Webber secures another Broadway hit as School of Rock the Musical tears onto the Winter Garden Theatre stage. Adapted from Richard Linklater’s 2003 movie starring Jack Black, this riotous new musical will have audience members young and old reaching for their air guitars.
School of Rock the Musical opens with wannabe rock-star Dewey Finn stealing his housemate’s identity to make a quick buck. After being kicked out of his band for belligerent behaviour, Dewey spies the perfect opportunity to pose as a prep school substitute and begins clandestine lessons to transform his gaggle of pre-teens into a guitar-thrashing rock group. Along the way, he realizes a connection to these extraordinary and gifted children and helps harried principal, Rosalie, revive her love of music.
Dewey Finn is originated on Broadway by Alex Brightman, whose previous credits include Wicked, Big Fish and Matilda the Musical. Sierra Boggess (The Little Mermaid) co-stars as Rosalie.
School of Rock the Musical features a book by Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, with music by seven-time Tony Award winner Andrew Lloyd Webber (Cats, The Phantom of the Opera) and lyrics by Glenn Slater (Sister Act).
Set to a roster of songs including “You’re in the Band” and “Stick It to the Man”, School of Rock the Musical at the Winter Garden Theatre is a hilarious and touching story wrapped in a rock ‘n’ roll package.
