After their award-winning production of Everybody's Talking About Jamie, YOBOS (Youth of Banbury Operatic Society) are back with another hit musical staged in just one week! Based on the hit 2003 film, School of Rock follows Dewey Finn, a failed wannabe rock star who is down on his luck. After Dewey is kicked out of his band and threatened with eviction, his fortunes take a turn for the better when he intercepts a phone call meant for his flatmate, Ned Schneebly. He quickly decides to make a bit of cash and pose as Ned to take up a supply teaching post at Horace Green, a prestigious prep school.
At Horace Green, Dewey is horrified to discover that his straight-laced and straight-A students haven’t a clue about rock and roll and he makes it his mission to educate them. Dewey realises they are a talented bunch and decides to turn them into a rock band and enter the upcoming Battle of the Bands competition. However, he needs to do all of this away from the prying eyes of the school’s principal, Rosalie Mullins as well as the kids parents and other teachers who are confused by their new colleagues antics.
Along the way, Dewey finds romance, self-worth, a proper job and, most importantly, he teaches the children and their parents the beauty of rock!
