Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning School of Rock arrived at the Liverpool Empire Theatre last night (July 5) as part of its UK tour.
The musical is based on the iconic movie starring Jack Black, who plays wannabe rock star Dewey Finn. In desperate need of cash, he poses as a substitute music teacher at a posh prep school and teaches his students all about the world of rock to later perform in the Battle of the Bands competition.
For those who haven’t seen the hit 2004 film, there’s no cause for concern. This musical offers a foot-stomping replica with a few musical adaptations from the king Andrew Lloyd Webber himself. Since the tour launched in Hull last September, Jake Sharp has led the cast as Dewey Finn, and for a good reason too.
