Tyne Theatre Productions presents School of Rock
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time!
Based on the film of the same name, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Out of his depth, Dewey ignores the usual curriculum and focuses on the musically talented youngsters, where 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?
The show features all of the original songs from the movie as well as introducing new rock anthems “You’re in the Band”, “Stick it to the Man” and “Teacher’s Pet”, which are sure to have everyone dancing in their seats.
With its sensational live kids’ rock band, School of Rock is a testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with those who pledge allegiance to this hit show!
This show is recommended for audiences aged 6 and over. Parental discretion is advised as the show contains occasional strong language.
Based on the Paramount movie written by Mike White.
