Visit New York: School of Rock - The Musical

When planning our trip to New York, we did not have any Broadway shows on our itinerary, but once there, we found ourselves with a free afternoon, so we decided to see one.

We opted to try and get tickets for School of Rock - The Musical at Winter Garden Theatre. We checked tickets the night before, and it was well over $150 a piece, so we decided to try our luck the next morning at the box office with Rush tickets.

And did we luck out!

We got 5 seats together, full view, for just $39 a ticket!

The employee said that is very unusual to get 5 seats together, and to get full view for all those seats is even rarer.

The show itself was remarkable (if you're not familiar with the film, the synopsis according to the website: Based on the film of the same name, School of Rock—The Musical tells the story of wannabe rock star Dewey Finn, who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. When he discovers his students’ musical talents, he enlists his fifth-graders to form a rock group and conquer the Battle of the Bands).

The understudy, Jonathan Wagner, was fantastic as Dewey, and the kids were amazing.  They play all of their own instruments, and they were all just so talented!

There was a nice amount of humor, and there were many touching moments as well.

School of Rock - The Musical is a fantastic show for all ages!
