Based on the hit movie, the stage show follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school.

There he turns a class of straight-A students into a rock band, while falling for the school's beautiful yet up-tight headmistress.

The new music features 14 new songs created by Lloyd-Webber as well as the original songs from the movie.

The production opened at the New London Theatre in November 2016 to five-star reviews and widespread critical acclaim.

It went on to win the Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.
