Are you ready to be “hypnoticized”?
Alex Brightman is ready to do that in “School of Rock — the Musical,” in which he stars as Dewey Finn, a substitute teacher who turns uptight private-school kids into rockers. The show hits Broadway in November.
California-rasied Brightman, 28, is no stranger to Broadway. His credits include “Big Fish” and “Matilda.” But he calls “School of Rock” bigger than big.
The musical features songs from the 2003 Jack Black hit comedy and new ones by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Glenn Slater. Julian Fellowes handles the book, including a good one about Botox.
Listen to the The Joe D Show podcast to hear Alex talk about this his breakout role and perform with his castmates new songs “You’re in the Band” and “Stick to the Man,” plus “Teacher’s Pet” from the film.
