For Xmas this year I bought tickets for the family to see School of Rock. With the success of Rudolph, I thought the boys would like to see kids perform in a musical.
The show is the musical version of the 2003 Jack Black movie of the same name. And boy is it good! The kids (older than the boys but not yet teens) are fantastic - and play all their instruments live. And the story is well adapted into another Andrew Lloyd Webber smash. Everything, from the set to the music and the actors are terrific and Ned Schneebly is played in the Jack Black spirit.
The boys enjoyed the show, especially L, who was mesmerized when the kids performed as a band. Mom had a blast as well. Though at just under 3 hours (including intermission) was a stretch for the guys, even though it was a matinee, B&L were spent by the end of the day.
I'm glad we did this, and hope we can take the boys to more musicals (and ultimately concerts) in the near future. School of Rock is a great family musical I'd recommend to anyone who has kids that are showing any form of interest in music.
