Andrew Lloyd Webber, the doyen of theatre music, is back in West End with School of Rock. The winner of a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, this musical is a hell of a fun ride! Based on the book by Julian Fellowes and the hit Hollywood film,, the musical is a treat for rock music fans, combining the magnificence of theatre with the euphoria of a rock concert.
School of Rock is a phenomenal theatrical adaption of the 2003 film of the same name. It premiered at West End in November 2016, at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. The musical is an irresistible rock-and-roll experience with pulsating music and an outrageously talented band of young stars. The kids’ bands are the highlight of the musical. The sheer energy they emanate on stage is unparalleled! It’s a must watch for families and anyone who loves a bit of fun!
The Story
School of Rock is a fun, high-spirited musical about a prestigious prep school, Horace Green. Dewey Finn is a rock music lover who impersonates a substitute music teacher at the school. As he wings it day by day, he coaxes the straight-A students to form a rock band and participate in the local Battle of the Bands. As he ignites the inner rock star in this studious group of kids, things things get a whole lot louder!
