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? Book your tickets today to join Dewey on his rock adventure!

When Lloyd Webber and Julian Fellowes let down their hair, the results are hardly anti-establishment. But the kids are genuinely talented and this is good-natured entertainment

From Start to Finish Absolutely Incredible. The Children are So Talented ( Yes they DO play their instruments ) All the actors were Amazing most playing 2 or 3 characters but unless you read the Programme you would never know. The Sets Costumes Music and Lighting were Superb . Special mention for Noel Sullivan as The Lead Dewie Finn. He was certainly the star from start to finish. It took all my might to stop myself from Standing up Stomping My Feet and Sticking it to The Man. I'll definitely be Revisiting soon !!

I didn’t like the School of Rock at all. I only went to watch because is one of ten musicals in demand at the moment. Maybe I just set my expectations to high.

This was an amazing musical, beautifully crafted by a fantastic cast. The young people were outstanding - brilliant role models for my two grandchildren, aged 10 and 11, who absolutely loved every minute of the show - as did their aged grandparents!

My son is only six years old and hasn't seen many musical. However, got him a ticket for this and he absolutely loved it. So much that he asked Alexa to play school of rock almost everyday. He even bought himself a plastic guitar in a yard sale to play school of rock.

Stage actors match characters from the movie really well. The actor that plays Fin is great and the kids are amazing, they even play the instruments themselves. By the end you will come out of the theatre singing the "Stick it to the band" song. Singing, dancing and acting all brilliant. The theatre itself is a lovely size so no matter where your seats, everyone has a good view.
