Broadway's SCHOOL OF ROCK Holds Open Casting Call for Pint-Sized Rockers Today

SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL is holding an open casting call for a new wave of pint-size rockers, offering the once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the most famous kid band of all time.

A massive open casting call will take place in New York City today, February 26, 2016, at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway), the home of Broadway's newest record-breaking musical, School of Rock. The open call will begin at 10:00 a.m. (local time), with sign-in beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 12 p.m.

The open call is open to kids of all ethnicities ages 9-12 who are under 5' tall and play an instrument. This audition is exclusively for girls who play bass and boys who play guitar, piano, and drums. Kids should come prepared with a headshot and resume (if you have one) and ready to rock out. Drums, keyboard, and amps will be provided.

SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL opened to rave reviews at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway) on Sunday, December 6, 2015. This Ben Brantley New York Times 'Critics' Pick' "is an inspiring jolt of energy and mad skillz," raves Jesse Oxfeld of Entertainment Weekly. And in his four-star Critics' Pick review, Time Out's David Cote proclaimed, "School's IN - forever!"

Based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same title, SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL features music from the movie, as well as an original score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Glenn Slater, with a book by Julian Fellowes and direction by Laurence Connor.
