ABOUT THE SHOW
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock – The Musical is a two-hour, two-act show, based on the hit Paramount movie. The show follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight–A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN
All roles are available. We are seeking children ages 8 and up, young teens, and adults to fill the roles listed below.
All ethnicities, gender identities, body types, and capabilities are encouraged to audition.
THE ADULTS
DEWEY FINN [Onstage Guitar, Rock Tenor (B2-E5), Late 20s-40s] – A wannabe rock star with big dreams. Dewey finds himself in urgent need of some cash after getting kicked out of his band. He impersonates a teacher to land a job at the prestigious Horace Green prep school, where he turns his class of straight-A students into a rock group and enters them into the Battle of the Bands.
ROSALIE MULLINS [Soprano (A3-D6), Late 20s-50s] – Proper and a bit uptight, Rosalie is the headmistress of Horace Green School. She has a secret love of rock music, and yearns to recapture the carefree spirit of her youth.
NED SCHNEEBLY [Baritone (C3-F#4), Late 20’s to 40s] – Ned is an old friend of Dewey’s, and the two currently share an apartment with Ned’s girlfriend, Patty. He used to play in Dewey’s band, but is now a substitute teacher – who Dewey impersonates to get the job at Horace Green. Ned is still passionate about his music, but tends to let his bossy girlfriend Patty tell him what to do.
PATTY DIMARCO [Mezzo/Belt (B3-E5), Late 20s-40s] – Ned’s domineering girlfriend, who lives with Ned and Dewey. She calls the shots in their relationship, and isn’t too happy about Dewey’s presence in their apartment – or his influence on Ned.
THEO [Onstage Guitar Optional, Rock Tenor (D3-D5), 20s-30s] – The lead singer of No Vacancy, Dewey’s former band.
DOUG, BOB, and SNAKE [G3-D5, 20s-30s] – No Vacancy’s other band members
TEACHERS & PARENTS of Horace Green students
THE KIDS
SUMMER HATHAWAY[A3-D5] – Confident and outspoken, Summer is the ideal manager for the band. Ambitious and very clever, she hopes that winning Battle of the Bands will look good on her college application.
ZACK MOONEYHAM [Onstage Guitar (A3-D5)] – Zack is the band’s lead guitarist and also a talented songwriter. He desperately wants to impress his father, who’s usually too busy with work to take an interest in his family.
TOMIKA [A3-G5] – New girl Tomika is struggling to fit in at Horace Green. She conquers her shyness to reveal her phenomenal singing ability, and becomes a lead vocalist alongside Dewey in the band.
LAWRENCE [Onstage Piano/Keyboard (A3-D#5)] – Awkward and lacking in confidence, Lawrence is hesitant to attempt something “cool”, like joining a band, but he soon turns out to be a fantastic keyboardist.
KATIE [Onstage Bass Guitar (A3-D#5)] – Quiet and serious, Katie already played the cello, but switched to bass at Dewey’s suggestion to fill out the band.
FREDDIE HAMILTON [Onstage Drums (A3-D5)] – Freddie loves a bit of rowdiness and noise…perfect for a great drummer. Freddie’s own father doesn’t see their ability and is constantly belittling.
MARCY & SHONELLE [A3-G5] – Quiet girls with angelic voices, Marcy and Shonelle are the band’s backup singers and dancers.
MASON [A3-D5] – Mason is a total whiz with technology, and creates special effects and fantastic lighting designs for the band’s performances using his laptop.
BILLY [A3-D5] – Flamboyant and artistic, Billy has a passionate interest in fashion, even though his father wants him to be a footballer like the other men in his family. He designs the band’s costumes.
JAMES [A3-D5] – James is tough and reliable, making him a good security guard for the band. Mostly, he keeps an eye out for anyone coming while the band is secretly rehearsing.
SOPHIE [A3-D5] – Sophie is technically the band’s roadie, but also serves as a backup dancer during performances.
