School of Rock - The Musical

When: 2PM
Where: Miners Alley Performing Arts Center, 1100 Miners Alley, Golden, CO

Bringing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s award-winning smash hit musical from Broadway to Golden! Based on the hilarious hit movie, this musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. While teaching pint-sized prodigies, Dewey falls for the school’s beautiful, but uptight headmistress, helping her rediscover the wild child within. Watch as this sub turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band, sensationally performed live by the production’s young actors every night!

Age recommendation: Fun for middle school and older; the 1990 movie was PG-13
