Winner of the 2017 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, School of Rock The Musical has truly landed in London’s West End.
Based on the wildly successful 2003 musical comedy film School of Rock starring Jack Black, the show sees wannabee rock-star Dewey Finn take a teaching job in a prestigious school to make ends meet. Discovering the musical talents of his class he enlists them to form a rock group and conquer Battle of the Bands.
Featuring 14 new songs from the legendary 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!
School of Rock The Musical is booking until 1 March 2020 at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, London.
