Broadway Balances America gets an all-access look at life as a pint-sized musical prodigy in SCHOOL OF ROCK. Meet talented rockers Ava Briglia, Layla Capers, and Montgomery Lamb as they welcome host Amber Milt into the band and share what it's like to balance being in a Broadway show with being a kid. Learn about the journey these young actors experience from their first audition with Casting Associate Claire Burke to first performance (and beyond) with Head Guardian Jill Valentine, who oversees the children backstage. Watch this behind-the-scenes exclusive of the energetic young actors who act, sing, dance, and play their own instruments 8 times a week in this high-octane hit that's coming to ROCK across the country!

SCHOOL OF ROCK is a New York Times Critics' Pick and "AN INSPIRING JOLT OF ENERGY, JOY AND MAD SKILLZ!" (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. This high-octane smash features 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, all the original songs from the movie and musical theater's first-ever kids rock band playing their instruments live on stage. Vanity Fair raves, "FISTS OF ALL AGES SHALL BE PUMPING!"

Broadway Balances America provides behind-the-scenes access and interviews highlighting shows featured on Broadway Across America's 2018-2019 Broadway series nationwide. The Balancing Act's hosts get up close and personal with casts and crews of this seasons national production.
