A message from Andrew Lloyd Webber

“It is nearly 50 years since my first musical JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT was premiered at a London school. A year later it received its USA debut at a college in Douglaston, Queens, New York.

I can think of no better introduction to SCHOOL OF ROCK than to repeat what I wrote about JOSEPH so many years ago.

SCHOOL OF ROCK is for everyone to take part in. It is a celebration of the empowering force of music.

All of us in the creative team have had a fantastic time bringing the movie to the Broadway stage and we all hope that you have as much fun when you perform the show as we had when we put it together.

Good luck and may the spirit of rock be with you.”

– Andrew Lloyd Webber

Want to be in the band?

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s new hit musical is available now for licensing! Hang out with Dewey Finn as he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band!

Featuring 14 new numbers from Lloyd Webber, along with the original songs from the much-loved movie, SCHOOL OF ROCK is a full-length musical (including intermission). May the spirit of rock be with the schools and theatre groups (performers must currently be aged 18 or younger) who pledge allegiance to this loving testimony to the transforming power of music!
