School of Rock opens with an announcement from composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. He said he is asked all the time whether the children really do play their instruments live. "The answer is an emphatic yes, they do." Already, the audience was cheering. Our world needs a bit of the feel-good factor at the moment, and this is the ultimate feel-good musical. The 13 children, aged 10 to 13, are talented and joyous but so are the adults. Ebullient David Fynn as wannabe rock star and imposter … [Read more...]
School of Rock The Musical Tickets New London Theatre
School of Rock the musical is now playing in London’s West End!
Based on the iconic, hit movie, this irresistible new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a supply 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?
Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie, this high-octane smash delivers face-melting guitar riffs and touching romance in equally awesome doses!

Review of School of Rock The Musical at New London Theatre
I can only presume the rehearsal period for School of Rock The Musical was nothing short of intense for its youngest stars, of whom there are many, thanks to regulations on the working hours of children in this country, disliked by the show’s composer and producer, Andrew Lloyd Webber, as it prevents star billing for the children’s band. I can see his line of argument – it seems to work for the Broadway production of the same show – and I don’t think any of the children would be left too … [Read more...]
