“School of Rock”- The Musical (Sept 22 – Oct 2) Based on the Paramount movie by Mike White; Book by Julian Fellowes; Lyrics by Glenn Slater; New Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme…You better get me to school on time! School of Rock is based on the hit movie, and follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out? Songs include: “When I climb to the Top of Mount Rock”, “You’re in the Band” and “Faculty Quadrille” among others.
