Overall I would say that school of rock was a success. Although I was forced to watch it last night, to my disbelief I actually enjoyed it. There were many good parts that I enjoyed and a few parts that I didn’t like as much as the others.
The actress last night did a phenomenal job. I especially enjoyed John Jang performance with the guitar. His facial expressions were stupendous. That actually got me to laugh. Additionally there were some other things that I found humorous. All of the characters did a good job expressing their emotions with facial expressions. Additionally, it seemed to me that everyone memorised their lines and spoke it so that it was easy to follow. Yet, Perhaps this was because I had already seen the original movie before.

One thing that helped me like the movie is seeing it before. I think I actually liked this version more than the original. The original play version didn’t have the humor that this play had. I found that watching the original helped me follow and better understand the plotline of the play. Without the struggle to understand it, the play was much more enjoyable.
In addition to this the props were outstanding. The background for the school of rock was done quite well. Every seen seemed to have a stage that fit the scenario, which is impressive considering the limited things that they had. There outfits fitted them well too. Even though girls were dressed up as guys it seemed obvious to me what gender they were in the play and they did a good job of expressing this through both costuming and dialogue. The staging really helped me understand the setting and what was going on in the play. Next there was the singing.
The singing really helped me follow along in the play too. The singing was engaging and often funny. On top of this it was quite good. Not only did each song have a good singer, but each song was backed up by a chorus of instruments. Although I could not see all of these instruments being played I saw the conductor in the back so I knew there was a band going on at the same time of the play. It looked like they had there own task to do and own songs to learn.
Lastly, this play had a solid plot. This play had a plot that was both unique, creative, and funny. At times I would find myself laughing or smiling or even worried. This plot really seemed to suck me into it. When the kids couldn’t get to perform I was worried. When the principle was close to catching the teacher I genuinely felt anxious. This play was able to give me an emotional spin, which says a lot about the play. If the play was boring then it would have no impact on my emotions. So in this retrospect they did a good job at that.
Overall I would give this play a 9.5 out of 10. (Popcorn would have made it a 10/10, just a tip for next time.) This was an outstanding play where the only flaw was that there was no food. It was genuinely worth my time and one of the best plays I have ever seen. Everyone who worked in this play did an excellent job!
