book by Julian Fellowes, choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter and direction by Laurence Connor.
School of Rock – The Musical opened on Broadway to rave reviews on Sunday, December 6, 2015.
This Ben Brantley New York Times ‘Critics’ Pick’ “is an inspiring jolt of energy and mad skillz,” raves
Jesse Oxfeld of Entertainment Weekly. And in his four-star Critics’ Pick review, Time Out’s David Cote
proclaimed, “School’s IN – forever!” School of Rock – The Musical was nominated for four 2016 Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score (Lloyd Webber and Slater), Best Book (Fellowes), and Best
Leading Actor in a Musical (Alex Brightman). School of Rock – The Musical also won the 2017 Oliver
award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.
Based on the hit film, School of Rock – The Musical is a hilarious show that follows Dewey Finn, a
failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a
prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping,
mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pint-size prodigies what it means to truly rock,
Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child
within.
School of Rock – The Musical features scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by
Natasha Katz, sound design by Mick Potter and music supervision by John Rigby.
School of Rock — The Musical is produced on Broadway by Andrew Lloyd Webber for The Really
Useful Group, Warner Music Group & Access Industries, The Shubert Organization and The
Nederlander Organization. Nina Lannan and Madeleine Lloyd Webber serve as Executive Producers.
