Last night Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical adaptation of School of Rock played its first preview on Broadway. After the performance, stars from the 2003 film met their Broadway counterparts. Check out images from the evening below!
Directed by Laurence Connor, the show officially at the Winter Garden Theatre on 6th December 2015. The cast is led by Alex Brightman (Wicked/Big Fish) and Sierra Boggess (Love Never Dies/It Shoulda Been You) as Dewey Finn and headmistress Rosalie.
School of Rock has book by Downton Abbey’s Julian Fellowes. The musical features music from the movie, as well as new music written by Lloyd Webber and lyricist Glenn Slater. Choreography is by JoAnn M. Hunter, with scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, lighting design by Natasha Katz and sound design by Mick Potter. This marks the first time Lloyd Webber has opened a show on Broadway before London since Jesus Christ Superstar in 1971.
