School of Rock Young Artists Edition
Summary
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme… You better get me to school on time! Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock: Young Actors Edition is a dynamic, one-hour version of the musical based on the hit movie, designed especially for young performers. The tuner 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. 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?
The Young Actors Edition features:
- Musical keys for young voices
- A running time of about 60 minutes
- No requirement for students to play live instruments
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock: Young Actors Edition is a loving testimony to the transformative power of music. May the spirit of rock be with all who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber’s newest hit!
