Summary: “School of Rock” is a rock musical with music
by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, and a book
by Julian Fellowes. Based on the 2003 fi lm of the same
name, written by Mike White. The musical introduces Dewey
Finn, an out-of-work rock singer, and guitarist who pretends
(притворяется) to be a teacher of Music at a
prestigious school. Dewey sees the musical talent in his students,
so he forms a band of fi fth-graders to win the upcoming Battle of
the Bands contest.
What are people saying about the musical?
Bobley49, West Yorshire, the UK:
This show is a total success. I love the fi lm, but the
stage show is even better. And the four kids who play the
instruments live are brilliant. Every aspect of the show was
enjoyable.
Anna37, Riga, Latvia:
To be honest, I haven’t been a huge admirer of Andrew
Lloyd Webber’s talent until I saw School of Rock. This show
is absolutely amazing! I’ve seen it twice and plan to watch it
for the 3rd time next week with my twin daughters. I’ve even
bought the CD so I can listen to the songs over and over
again. The tunes are really catchy! The song “If only you
would listen” changed my relations with daughters for the
better, as now I am trying hard to fi nd out what they really
want and they deeply appreciate1 this.
Nigelg62, East Suss, the UK:
I took my wife and two granddaughters to the
show. We all thought it was fantastic, totally uplifting
(поднимающим настроение) and
great entertainment for everyone. The music was played
live and was of top quality. The repetitive idea of being
more attentive to children and their dreams runs through
the whole musical that makes it a piece of philosophical
work. However, the intense energy and fast pace of the
show didn’t give us any chance to feel bored!
