Based on the Paramount movie by Mike White

Book by Julian Fellowes
Lyrics by Glenn Slater

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 interval), based on the hit movie. The show 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. 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 was produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who 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” will bring audiences to their feet, night after night.

School of Rock: Young Actors Edition is the brand new, one-hour adaptation of the hit musical, specially tailored for schools and youth groups. Including easy to sing orchestrations, beginners’ choreography videos and helpful guides on everything from pre-production and casting to rehearsal and the show itself, this is the ultimate how-to for putting on a rocking performance!
