School of Rock: Musical review


School of Rock review


The musical is an adaptation of the eponymous film made in 2003. The motion picture with Jack Black has collected more than 131 million dollars in the world’s box office worldwide with a production cost of $ 35 million. In April 2013, Andrew Lloyd Webber announced the acquisition of the rights to transform the film into a musical. The composer was going to make the chamber variant with the participation of young actors. Originally, they planned to establish the production in the West End, but because of the strict British legislation on the employment of minors, the show was moved to Broadway. For the first time since 1971, the premiere of the musical of A. L. Webber took place not in the British theater, but in the US. The composer used the songs that sounded in the original film, but also created new musical numbers. Webber explained that the audience needed softer tunes for comfortable viewing of a long show. Also, the creator said – in the musical would be paid more attention to the relations between parents and children. This exaggerated the dramatic part of the production.

The audience greeted the Broadway premiere with stormy enthusiasm. Critics said very good things about the new show. They noted that young actors did an excellent job with their challenging repertoire. A. Brightman, performing the title role, perfectly interacted with the children, not trying to outshine them with her own vocal abilities. Reviewers have noticed that the musical was very easy and enjoyable to watch. The interest of the audience has not disappeared till today. Despite the slight decline in the first days of May, the box office for the weekend amounted to 816,811 dollars. In late May, the public is more likely to visit Broadway’s productions. On May 29, an amount of USD 1,082,055 per week. The show has even been noted by theatrical figures and nominated for four Tony Awards. Also, the histrionics have received one nomination at the Outer Critics & Drama League. The theatrical has been presented in 5 categories in the Drama Desk & received 2 nominations for the Astaire Award.
