Based on the hit 2003 film starring Jack Black, School of Rock: The Musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who is down on his luck. After being kicked out of his band and threatened with eviction, Dewey’s fortunes take a surprising turn when he intercepts a phone call meant for his flatmate, Ned Schneebly. Seizing the opportunity to make some quick cash, he poses as Ned and takes a substitute teaching position at the prestigious Horace Green prep school. With an award-winning score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and a cast of wildly talented kids playing live on stage, School of Rock is bursting with energy, humour and heart. Dewey teaches his students to let loose, find their voices and stick it to the man — and they end up teaching him a thing or two along the way.
This new Theatrical Inc production will be directed by Regional Tony Award winner Cody Riker, with musical direction by Mal Fawcett and choreography by Jaimee White. The exciting diverse cast features a fresh line up of emerging talent, that is in keeping with the ethos of Theatrical Inc’s mission to provide opportunities for rising stars.
