School of Rock - Gillian Lynne / UK Tour

Closing on Broadway in January, but others continue: www.nytimes.com/2018/07/17/theater/school-of-rock-announces-closing-date.html

Dawnstar My recollection from last seeing this in January is that the sound levels aren’t actually too bad (fellow Asperger’s sufferer, hi). I would say that Wicked is probably louder during its ensemble numbers than SoR ever is, and we’ve both seen that lots of times. Also this show has no sudden bangs or jump scares, so you’re less likely to be caught out, it’s more just generally noisy during a couple of songs.

I'm the opposite, hence why I spend the second half of act 2 of Bank Robbery on edge because I can never remember when the gunshots are coming I wouldn't say it's any worse than any other musical, even including the kids it's quite a small orchestra so I'd imagine you'd be fine.


Just found this on iPlayer, it's a documentary following a couple of the kids in the run up to School of Rock opening in London in 2016. It's made for children's TV but it's still relatively watchable for adults.

I've used theatre tokens for dayseats previously, this was at the start of 2017 but I can't imagine why they wouldn't accept them still  

Thanks all for your help!

Just found uk.schoolofrockthemusical.com/student-discount/?redeem_online=true on the website which I didn’t know about. £15 Band A/B tickets with Student Beans!? Madness. This mug has been paying £75 if I booked in advance.

What has the day seat queue been like for this recently ? More specifically at the weekends ? I have the afternoon free before the final Kinky Boots show and I'm considering seeing this again after a while @theatremonkey

School of Rock is one of those shows I really enjoyed at the time but subsequently forgot about. If we are to lose another musical in the West End this year then I imagine this being the next one.

Yeh i'm always expecting this one to announce. I've seen it twice and enjoy the show, but both times the theatre wasn't full and both times that was in it's first year and a half.

Yeah, this will go next probably.

I've seen it twice and it's good fun, but I'm ready for it to close.

For that, I would be down! (As long as we have a British actress playing Eliza)

I’m seeing it again next Sunday (for apparently my 7th time!) using that TodayTix deal. I’ll let them close it if they tour it (and not just announce a tour, actually have one ready!), surely it wouldn’t be too hard to tour apart from the number of kids.
If it’s his show in his theatre makes sense to keep it going while he can. If something else is desperate for that theatre maybe they will make the choice to close easier.

I think it’ll chug along until September 2019 or at a push January 2020. It does depend if anyone wants the Gillian Lynne, ALW might be saving it for his next musical
