School of Rock is one of the many musicals based on a movie that has been woven into the fine tapestry of Broadway in the past two decades. Based on the 2003 Richard Linklater comedy starring Jack Black, the musical iteration from Broadway maestro Andrew Lloyd Webber that’s now playing at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre straddles the line of delightfully charming and instantly forgettable — but at least the kids have fun in it.

Following the same story of its source material, School of Rock puts the spotlight on Dewey Finn (Rob Colletti), an overeager slacker musician with a heart of gold who recently was banished from his rock band No Vacancy. Taking advantage of the hospitality of his loyal friend and substitute teacher Ned (Matt Bittner) and his uptight wife Patty (Emily Borromeo), he is presented with an ultimatum: get a job and pay rent or they’re kicking him out.
