"I've always been the shortest person I know until I met these people," says SCHOOL OF ROCK star Alex Brightman. "Now I'm the king."

The king and his court seemed to having a blast and rocking out hard at a recent photo shoot outside the Winter Garden Theater.

Based on the Paramount movie written by Mike White, School of Rock has a book by Julian Fellowes, lyrics byGlenn Slater, and new music by Andrew Lloyd Webber. School of Rock will be directed by Laurence Connor (currently represented on Broadway by LES MISERABLES). Alex Brightman will star as 'Dewey Finn', with Sierra Boggess in the role of principal 'Rosalie Mullins'.

SCHOOL OF ROCK follows struggling rock singer and guitarist, Dewey Finn (Brightman), who is kicked out of his band and subsequently disguises himself as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. After witnessing the musical talent in his students, Dewey forms a band of fourth-graders to attempt to win the upcoming Battle of the Bands and pay off his rent.
