Get ready to unleash your inner rockstar, San Antonio! The Charline McCombs Empire Theatre is set to host a spectacular production of the School Of Rock Musical, a high-energy, feel-good show that promises to blow you away. Presented by the San Antonio Broadway Theatre in collaboration with The Majestic Empire Foundation, this musical comedy, based on the iconic Jack Black film, will take the stage from January 17th to 19th, 2025. Featuring a rocking score by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber, this professional production, helmed by director Logan Epstein, is gearing up to deliver a Broadway-caliber experience right in your backyard.
Prepare to be amazed by the stellar cast, led by Tanner Berry, who will embody the free-spirited, wannabe rockstar Dewey Finn, a role he seems born to play after his previous show-stopping performance in SABT’s “Rock of Ages.” Joining him is the incredibly talented Alexis Semevolos-Velzquez as Rosalie Mullins, a familiar face to SABT audiences after her memorable turns in “Cabaret,” “Rent,” and “Rock of Ages.” Jack Ducat and Alexandra Shepherd will round out the adult leads as Ned Schneebly and Patty, respectively.
However, the true heart-pounding energy of the School of Rock musical comes from its phenomenal ensemble of 13 young actor-musician prodigies. Hailing from esteemed institutions like the Northeast School of the Arts, Folks Middle School, and Keystone School, these kids are not just acting – they are rocking out LIVE on their instruments! Witness the raw talent of Hudson Aikens as James, Madison Aikens as the overachieving Summer Hathaway, Viviane Atencio as the powerful Tomika Spencer-Williams, and many more. Each young performer brings an authentic rock spirit to the stage, guaranteeing an unforgettable and electrifying performance. The ensemble is further strengthened by the remarkable talents of Joshua Cook, Daniela Landa-Gonzalez, and others, ensuring a rich and dynamic theatrical experience.
