School of Rock
2026-11-14 01:00 - 2026-11-15 20:30 | Redbridge Drama Centre, Churchfields, London, E18 2RB, GB
IODS Productions Presents… School of Rock
Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer behind some of the most loved musicals brings this new, exciting heart-stirring hit!
Based on the hit 2003 film starring Jack Black, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching these pint-sized prodigies what it means to truly rock, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight principal, helping her rediscover the wild child within.
Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all of the original songs from the movie, this high-octane smash delivers face-melting guitar riffs and touching romance in equally awesome doses!
This show is suitable for the whole family. Kids and Big Kids alike will all be rocking when it’s done! Recommended age 4+
TIME TO PLAY OFFER
This special Group Rate offer allows you FOUR tickets for the price of £78. At least one member of the party must be a Child 16 years or under. (inc £1.50 Theatre Maintenance Levy)
