For the first time ever seen in Launceston, St Patrick's College is proud to present the high energy and uplifting modern rock classic, School of Rock, written by Julian Fellowes and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who is down on his luck. After being kicked out of his band, and threatened with eviction, Dewey's fortunes take a turn for the better when he intercepts a phone call meant for his flatmate, Ned Schneebly. He quickly decides to make a bit of cash and pose as Ned to take up a substitute teaching post at Horace Green, a prestigious school.

Dewey is horrified to discover that his straight-laced and straight-A students haven’t a clue about rock and roll, and he makes it his mission to educate them. Dewey realises they are a talented bunch, and he decides to mould them into a rock band and enter the upcoming Battle of the Bands. Along the way, Dewey finds romance, self-worth, a proper job, and, most importantly, he teaches the children and their parents the beauty of rock. The message behind this show is for children and adults alike, be true to yourself and strive for a life of fullness not just achievement.

Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie, this production includes over 130 talented young performers from Year 7 through to Year 12. And just in case you were wondering? Mr Schneebly’s class does play the instruments live on stage!
