“School of Rock: The Musical” follows actor David B. Friedman, portraying Dewey Finn, a failed rock star who decides to earn money by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. At the school, he turns a class of bright and well-accomplished students into a rock band, attempting to get them into a battle of the bands without headmistress Rosalie Mullins, played by Broadway actress Hannah Elless, or their parents finding out.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready to rock? We are! Farmers Alley Theatre<\/a> is back on campus for School<\/em> of Rock: The Musical<\/em>, its second show of the summer at Kalamazoo College\u2019s Festival Playhouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the film starring Jack Black, the musical follows actor David B. Friedman, portraying Dewey Finn, a failed rock star who decides to earn money by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. At the school, he turns a class of bright and well-accomplished students into a rock band, attempting to get them into a battle of the bands without headmistress Rosalie Mullins, played by Broadway actress Hannah Elless, or their parents finding out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performing School of Rock<\/em> at K offers Farmers Alley Theatre a bigger venue between stage space and audience capacity along with a unique stage ground plan that Director Richard Roland loves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe thrust stage with all of its different angles and levels allows for some very creative staging, which I am very interested in, particularly for a piece that was conceived and originally produced for a proscenium stage,\u201d Roland said. \u201cBecause we don\u2019t have the automation and extravagant technical capabilities of a Broadway theatre, I have to rely on my imagination and the imagination and creativity of my team and actors to affect the transitions from scene to scene. It\u2019s a challenge for sure, but one definitely worth meeting head on. It\u2019s very satisfying to me when I figure out how a multi-location show works on a stage not built to accommodate giant turntables, hydraulics and massive drops. That being said, scenic designer Dan Guyette has provided rolling wagons and slip stages to facilitate transitions on the set which is a much-needed help in a show of this size.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School of Rock<\/em> boasts a cast of 30 including 16 amazingly talented kids\u2014four of whom play their own drums, bass, guitar and keyboard\u2014although the biggest draw might be the story as it works in concert with the music. Roland said the plot embraces an age-old storyline of the mentor who brings people to a new awareness of themselves, so audiences will recognize its similarities to musicals such as The Sound of Music<\/em> and The Music Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs one of the actors in the show put it the other day, the movie is a Jack Black vehicle and focuses, literally and figuratively, on him,\u201d Roland said. \u201cEveryone around him is mostly peripheral. The musical goes a bit further by enlarging the world around Dewey, making the kids as much of the center of the show as he is. What musicals do is let you into the characters\u2019 minds through song, digging a little deeper into their psyches, revealing hopes and fears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The character Finn\u2014desperately stealing the identity of his roommate as a substitute teacher just to make ends meet\u2014teaches his students some unconventional yet valuable life lessons by making them realize they live under too many rules, constraints and over-scheduled expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn breaking down those conventions, the students find gifts within themselves they were previously unaware of,\u201d Roland said. \u201cThey grow in talent and confidence. Even Dewey, the initially self-serving freeloader, has an awakening in that he realizes he has much to give when it comes to music. It\u2019s a very heartwarming story with a great score by Andrew Lloyd Webber who, as some may remember, started out with the classic rock \u2018n\u2019 roll musical Jesus Christ Superstar<\/em>. He goes back to his rock roots with School of Rock<\/em> and leaves you singing along.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show contains some adult language, rock-associated themes and tweenage rebellion. It is recommended for ages 10 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m just very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with the Farmers Alley team, all the new designers and, of course, the cast of extremely talented actors of Kalamazoo, Chicago and New York,\u201d Roland said. \u201cIt\u2019s a joy to watch them create moments in rehearsals: funny, touching, fierce, hopeful. I\u2019m thrilled that this is the first Andrew Lloyd Webber musical I get to direct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
