Vocal selections from Andrew Lloyd Webber's newest theatre score, School of Rock, are now available, in a volume published by Hal Leonard.
Based on the hit 2003 film, the hilarious 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. 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.
The book includes a dozen songs from the Broadway original cast recording arranged for voice with piano accompaniment. The original songs all feature music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Glenn Slater except for "School of Rock" written by Mike White and Samuel Buonaugurio. This souvenir folio also includes seven pages of full-color photos from the stage production and a note from Andrew Lloyd Webber. Songs include:
- Children of Rock
- Here at Horace Green
- Horace Green Alma Mater
- I'm Too Hot for You
- If Only You Would Listen
- If Only You Would Listen (Reprise)
- School of Rock
- Stick It to the Man
- Time to Play
- When I Climb to the Top of Mount Rock
- Where Did the Rock Go?
- You're in the Band
