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.
