Based on the hit film starring Jack Black as Dewey Finn, the tale is about a wannabe rock star who attempts 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.
Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, this hilarious, high-octane production delivers face-melting guitar riffs and touching romance in equally awesome doses.
Since opening on Broadway to critical acclaim in 2015, ‘School of Rock’ has been playing to packed houses across the US, London’s West End, a smash hit Melbourne season and most recently hugely successful seasons in China and Korea.
