This week, nearly 1,000 pint-sized rock stars came out to the New York City open casting call for the highly anticipated Broadway adaptation of the hit film School of Rock. ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA was on the scene, even meeting up with original cast member Brian Falduto who portrayed "costume designer" Billy in the film. Check out the video!

School of Rock-The Musical will begin previews on Monday, November 2, 2015 at the Winter Garden Theatre, with an opening set for Sunday, December 6. School of Rock will feature music from the movie, as well as new music written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Glenn Slater, with a book by Julian Fellowes. School of Rock-The Musical will be directed by Laurence Connor (currently represented on Broadway by Les Miserables).

In School of Rock-The Musical, down-on-his-luck wannabe rock star Dewey Finn poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school to make ends meet. When he discovers his students' musical talents, he enlists his fifth-graders to form a rock group and conquer the Battle of the Bands.

School of Rock-The Musical will feature Choreography by JoAnn M. Hunter, Scenic and Costume Design by Anna Louizos, Lighting Design by Natasha Katz, Sound Design by Mick Potter, and Music Supervision by Ethan Popp.

School of Rock-The Musical is produced on Broadway by The Really Useful Group, Warner Music Group & Access Industries, The Shubert Organization, and The Nederlander Organization. Nina Lannan serves as Executive Producer.
