Adelaide Youth Theatre are bringing two wonderful family shows to families these school holidays
SCHOOL OF ROCK THE MUSICAL
Thursday 25th-Friday 26th April – 7pm
Saturday 27th April 3pm and 7.30pm
School of Rock is a two-hour, two-act musical (plus intermission), based on the hit movie. The tuner follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?
The stage musical on Broadway and in the West End is produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who has also composed 14 new songs for the show, which additionally features all of the original songs from the movie. The composer’s numbers “You’re in the Band” and “Stick it to the Man” are well on their way to becoming rock solid standards, while the finale with “Teacher’s Pet” brings audiences to their feet, eight shows a week.
School of Rock, with its sensational live kids’ rock band, is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with the schools and community theatres who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber’s newest hit!
DISNEY’S LITTLE MERMAID JR
Saturday 27th April 10am and 12.00noon – 60 Minute Show
Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved stories, Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home – and her fins – behind and live in the world above. But first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.

Attendees can enjoy the Museum’s galleries and exhibitions and sensory backpacks will be available to borrow free of charge.

The Shadow Initiation is an adventure game that is facilitated by a tablet and can be played by up to 4 people per tablet. While this activity is designed for a broad audience, it supports student learning and aligns with the Australian Curriculum in the areas of developing critical and creative thinking skills and building personal and social capability.
