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 film of the same name, written by Mike White. The musical introduces Dewey Finn, an out-of-work rock singer, and guitarist who pretends (притворяется / прикідуедца) to be a teacher of Music at a prestigious school. Dewey sees the musical talent in his students, so he forms a band of fifth-graders to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands contest.

This show is a total success. I love the film, 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.

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 find out what they really want and they deeply appreciate¹ this.

I took my wife and two granddaughters to the show. We all thought it was fantastic, totally uplifting (поднимающим настроение / які ўзьдымае настрой) 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!
