VIDEO: SCHOOL OF ROCK Kids Go Hip-Hop Performing HAMILTON's 'The Schuyler Sisters'
By: Michael Dale Aug. 02, 2016
In the hit musical comedy SCHOOL OF ROCK, teacher Dewey Finn teaches his well-behaved students how to rock out to Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and The Doors, but he never gets around to teaching them about hip-hop.
Fortunately for SCHOOL OF ROCK cast members Evie Dolan, Isabella Russo and Luca Padovan, there's Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway hit HAMILTON to help them further their education.
Here, along with actress/model Ashleigh Kepley, they school passersby with a street performance of "The Schuyler Sisters."

School of Rock - The Musical opened to rave reviews on Sunday, December 6, 2015. The production was nominated for four 2016 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score (Lloyd Webber and Slater), Best Book (Fellowes), and Best Leading Actor in a Musical (Alex Brightman).
Based on the hit film, School of Rock - The Musical is a hilarious new musical that 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. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school's beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
