Based on the hit film of the same name starring Jack Black, Andrew Lloyd Webber's rousing rock musical follows struggling singer Dewey Finn, who is kicked out of his band just before a competition. To at least pay the rent, Dewey pretends to be a substitute teacher and, without actually knowing anything about math or any other school subjects, ends up at an elite school. What he does know a lot about, however, is music! As homework, he assigns his students to listen to music by bands like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath – which, much to the headmistress's chagrin, becomes the soundtrack to everyday school life.

Who doesn't know him? Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin, or Charlie Chaplin for short. He is arguably the most famous comedian in the world. When he received an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement in Hollywood in 1972, the audience applauded for a full twelve minutes. We are honoring Charlie Chaplin this season with three different film concerts.

Chaplin in Concert II: The Vagabond

Immerse yourself with us in the wondrous world of the musical and accompany the heroine Alice on her adventurous journey through the mysterious Wonderland, where nothing is as it seems, and fantastic characters like the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit and the evil King of Hearts await us.
