“Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme, you better get me to school on time!'

Featuring a cast of over 30 talented local performers and musicians, Albany Light Opera Theatre Company (ALOTCo) presents School of Rock - a high-energy, feel-good production for audiences of all ages. (Contains mild adult themes.)
Based on the hit 2003 Paramount film, School of Rock is a two-act musical (with intermission) that follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, he discovers a classroom of straight-A students with serious musical talent - and transforms them into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can they make it to the Battle of the Bands without being caught by their parents or the school’s uptight headmistress?
With new music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, book by Julian Fellowes, and lyrics by Glenn Slater, the musical features 14 original songs by Webber alongside iconic tracks from the film. Show-stopping numbers like ‘You’re in the Band’ and ‘Stick It to the Man’ have become modern rock-musical favourites, while the electrifying finale, ‘Teacher’s Pet’, has audiences on their feet.
Complete with a sensational live kids’ rock band, School of Rock is a joyful celebration of music, confidence, and the power of teamwork.
