I received complimentary tickets for the purpose of review and sharing with my readers. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
week, my oldest savvy and husband had a father daughter date to go see School Of Rock at the Winter Garden Theater. We had all just recently watched the movie and enjoyed it.
So what does a 13 year old have to say about School of Rock?
It was absolutely amazing. The cast was extremely energetic. When listening to the cast members talk about the School of Rock, they mentioned that they were very proud of their multicultural cast. The children are between the ages of 8 – 12 and know how to really play all the instruments. After watching the movie, it was great to experience School of Rock in a live performance.
Currently in performances at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway), School of Rock – The Musical is based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same, featuring music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, a book by Julian Fellowes and direction by Laurence Connor.
School of Rock – The Musical opened 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).
Based on the hit film, School of Rock – The Musical is a hilarious new musical 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-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
this looks like tons of fun
