The pupils of School of Rock are ready to start a new term at Hull New Theatre from 7 – 18 September 2021 when Andrew Lloyd Webber’s West End smash hit premieres its first ever UK and Ireland tour at the venue.
Taking their first lesson and field trip to the top of Mount Rock is Jake Sharp who will once again take on the leading role of Dewey Finn (made iconic by Jack Black in the sensational film) having previously performed as the lead in the West End, with Alex Tomkins taking on the role for select performances.
They are joined by Rebecca Lock as uptight headmistress Rosalie Mullins, Matthew Rowland as Ned Schneebly and Nadia Violet Johnson as Patty Di Marco. The remaining adult cast include Ryan Bearpark, James Bisp, Joanna O’Hare, Samuel Haughton, Tom Hext, Harveen Mann, Richard Morse, Annell Odartey, Amy Oxley, Helena Pipe, Michaela Powell, Richard Vorster and Craig Watson.
One of three incredibly talented teams of twelve children will perform live alongside Dewey each night and are currently getting ready to stick it to the man when the bell rings for the new school term at Hull New theatre in September.
