They're in tech, as the saying goes, and composer Andrew Loyd Webber himself takes to Twitter to wish the SCHOOL OF ROCK company a happy first day of class! Everyone looks psyched for a totally rockin' first semester leading up to their December 6th opening night!

SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL will begin preview performances on Broadway Monday, November 9, 2015 at the Winter Garden Theatre, with an opening set for Sunday, December 6, 2015. Based on the smash hit 2003 film of the same title, SCHOOL OF ROCK - The Musical will feature 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 (currently represented on Broadway by Les Miserables).

SCHOOL OF ROCK - THE MUSICAL follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. Completely disinterested in academic work, Dewey decides to create his own curriculum, turning his class into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.
