Experience the ultimate rock 'n' roll adventure as Wynberg Girls' and Boys' High Schools proudly presents "School of Rock," a sensational musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Brace yourself for high-voltage energy, phenomenal talent, and pure rock 'n' roll magic! Follow Dewey Finn's hilarious journey from wannabe rock star to substitute teacher, igniting the musical potential of gifted young musicians. With show-stopping performances, catchy rock anthems, and heartfelt ballads, this electrifying production celebrates the transformative power of music and the strength within us all.

Based on the 2003 film, School of Rock tells the story of Dewey Finn, a struggling rock star. Facing eviction, Dewey seizes an opportunity when he pretends to be his roommate and becomes a substitute teacher at a prestigious school. Shocked by the students' lack of knowledge about rock music, he takes it upon himself to educate them. Realizing their talent, Dewey forms a rock band with the students, aiming to win the Battle of the Bands competition. While evading the school's principal, Dewey discovers love, self-worth, a real job, and teaches the beauty of rock to the children and their parents.
