Overview

Get ready to rock — classic film School of Rock has been given a musical makeover by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber and it's heading to Auckland this September.

In line with the 2003 film, School of Rock: The Musical is the story of Dewey Finn, a washed-up, wannabe rock star masquerading as a substitute teacher at an elite prep school. While there, he manages to convert his prudish straight-A students into the ultimate rock band, complete with authentic guitar-shredding, face-melting music.

Held at The Civic from September 3–29, this musical is sure to hit all the right notes with a new score from Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater. The true highlight of the show is the incredibly talented young cast who play all their own instruments. Described by The Times as "the most enjoyable few hours money can buy," pick up your ticket and get ready to rock out.
