Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme... You better get me to school on time!

School of Rock is a two-hour, two-act musical (plus intermission), based on the hit movie. The tuner 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?

The stage musical on Broadway and in the West End is produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who has also composed 14 new songs for the show, which additionally features all of the original songs from the movie. The composer's numbers "You're in the Band" and "Stick it to the Man" are well on their way to becoming rock solid standards, while the finale with "Teacher's Pet" brings audiences to their feet, eight shows a week.

School of Rock, with its sensational live kids' rock band, is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with the schools and community theatres who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber's newest hit!
