Musical based on the Paramount film of the same name (screenplay by Mike White), music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Based on the successful film of the same name starring Jack Black, this rousing rock musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber follows the failed singer Dewey Finn, who is kicked out of his band shortly before a contest. In order to at least pay the rent, Dewey pretends to be a substitute teacher and ends up at an elite school without really knowing anything about math or other school subjects. But what he does know a lot about is music! As homework, he sets his pupils to listen to music by bands such as AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath - which then become the soundtrack to the school day, much to the annoyance of the principal.
The youngsters, still skeptical at first, are soon infected by Dewey's enthusiasm for rock music and break away from their well-behaved upbringing. But in order to survive as a real rock band in the Battle of Bands, the pupils have to give it their all.
The team led by director Marlene Pawlak, who recently wowed Kassel audiences with Emil and the Detectives, brings Webber's musical to the ANTIPOLIS stage with plenty of humor. The children and young people of the CANTAMUS choir populate the stage as a school community and explore the transformative power of music.
