Amy Lehpamer To Play Headmistress Rosalie Mullins in Australian Premiere of SCHOOL OF ROCK
In the role made famous by Joan Cusack in the hit film, Amy Lehpamer will button up, starch up and don her spectacles to play the uptight but lovable straight-laced schoolmarm with a hankering for Stevie Nicks.

She joins previously announced Brent Hill as music teacher and wannabe rock star Dewey Finn plus the three alternating casts of 12 pint sized musical prodigies.
Other cast announced today include John O'Hara (Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert, Dusty, Cats, Singin' In The Rain) who will play Ned Shcneebly, Matt Crowley (Molly: the Molly Meldrum Story, House Husbands) as Theo and Joe Kosky (Kinky Boots, High Fidelity, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert) who will be the alternate Dewey.
Joining them as ensemble cast members are Bianca Baykara, Ellis Dolan, Alex Hyne, Andrew Kroenert, Bree Langridge, Jenny Little, Zachary Pidd, Michaela Powell, Sophie Weiss and Stephen Wheat.
