Review: SCHOOL OF ROCK at The Musical Box Theatre
by Sandra Harberger - Mar 16, 2026
Benjamin Eisenhouer performed Dewy Fin with the same energy and comedic style as that of Jack Black. He connected well with the students and his character development had you rooting for him in the end. Bethany Maylkh had strong performance as the stern principal with an inner love for rock. The song, “Stick it to the Man,” was performed with such enthusiasm by the students. You could tell it was one of their favorites. Another student song, “If Only You Would Listen” was heartfelt and showcased the love and pain in the relationship between the students and parents.
