"There are fewer things that deliver such large crowd-pleasing cheers and instant standing ovations than having a group of musically gifted youth actors rock out on stage while playing intricate guitar riffs or intense drum solos that some talented adult musicians might struggle to deliver. The musical School of Rock, which is based on the 2003 film that starred Jack Black, delivers those crowd-pleasing moments numerous times, and the national tour of the recent Tony-nominated Best Musical Broadway production features not only a charming and lovable group of young musicians but comically gifted leads, resulting in a fun, funny and engaging show....

"..The whole thing is so infectious, and infectiously funny, you’ll find yourself not only caught up in the plot’s overall silliness, you’ll probably home in on a well-defined favorite character....Theodora Silverman with her dead-pan, rock ‘n roll face, is irresistible as Katie, the cellist turn bass player..." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)

"My engines needed some time to warm up to SCHOOL OF ROCK, but once a dynamic dozen of hip kids took the stage, all cylinders kicked in, and I was grooving along with the roaring crowd of 3000 at ASU's Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium...." Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
