Alex Brightman & the Cast Sing 'Teacher's Pet' From Broadway-Bound SCHOOL OF ROCK

[@beccageorge8600]

If you've met Alex in real life you'd know he's one of the kindest most genuine people out there. He crushed this role and the role of Beetlejuice.

[@maggiboyd3095]

So you’ve met him?

while y’all were complaining about how ‘bad’ he is as dewey, even though he’s not, jack black saw alex brightman several times and said he almost bested him at the role once. like. jack black supports him?? why is there a debate between y’all smh

[@hannahdaisley1763]

i cant be the only one who thinks Alex Brightman looks so simular to Jack

[@aurelieistreacherous]

I can’t be the only one who thinks Alex and jack both did good everybody is just arguing about something that doesn’t need to be argued about

[@jade_ottsel]

Exactly. Jack supported his performance throughout this show, and even saw it a few times. People really need to stop being "that guy" and shut up. :T

[@queeneliane7745]

People are so overprotective with their childhood movies. I think Alex Brightman is absolutely incredible and of course so was Jack Black in the movie.

[@grapegwen4059]

I don’t know if I’m biased or anything but I really prefer the OBC over any other cast (not just in SOR, mostly in some musicals). Alex Brightman is the best broadway Dewey ever.

[@doodlegamesofficial5640]

The casting for this is perfect I didn't think anyone but jack black could play the teacher but this guy is wicked

[@MisterMagikarp]

I saw Eric Petersen as Dewey on 11/13/16 and he was phenomenal!

[@kyle-jamesmartin6900]

I've hated every single video I've seen of him to be honest...

[@MisterMagikarp]

Kyle Martin What's your reasoning? I'm just curious. :)

[@liamneu1430]

Doodle Games Official DUUUUDDEE ALEX BRIGHTMAN IS AWESOME AS DEWEY!!!!! HE WAS WAY BETTER THAN JACK BLACK I WENT TO SEE THE SHOW IN BROADWAY AND IF YOY DID TOO, YOU WOULD GET IT!!!

[@kyleatkins5154]

Doodle Games Official he butchered the solo

[@Itsjayflight]

School of Rock is my favorite Jack Black movie, getting turned into a musical on Broadway brought my love for it up even more. Alex and the kids are awesome.

[@blackcat5759]

It pisses me of that people say the kids look dumb or let the show down because it's really good

[@kevinmulderrig8781]

its my fav Jack Black movie too. 2nd is muppets.

[@weasel4674]

Kevin TV I wouldn’t count muppets as a jack black movie, even though it was really good. My 2nd fav jack black movie after school of rock is goosebumps

[@stolitzcanon83]

I love Alex Brightman so much.

[@Sodapop-gi4bu]

Everyone needs to stop hating this show (I mean it did kind of get 4 tony noms including ya know BEST MUSICAL) but seriously it was so funny and the songs were soooo good!

[@scottnewman522]

whos hating? lol I loved it

[@weasel4674]

Sodapop246 8 TDK won best supporting actor but hate it because it’s DC, the world is cruel

[@sethiedc]

I still remember when we saw this as a theatre field trip, and this song came on, and I kid you not, EVERYONE GOT UP FROM THEIR SEATS AND ACTED LIKE THEY WERE IN A CONCERT, THIS DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE

[@clarabrandaog]

it's a press conference. press conferences are very boring and filled with boring adults haha

[@Wickedleme]

This show is AMAZING!!! This clip doesn't do the show justice. Everyone is even better than this. I was blown away. My pants were rocked for sure!!!

[@Pimporly]

Yes the Show was Amazing that I'm agree with you to

[@RazorRevenge]

wow I've never seen so many people complain before. do you all nitpick about how Matilda the Musical doesn't match the movie or how different Wicked is from its book?

[@chantelsimmons2416]

I mean... yeah, I did about Wicked. (Kidding - I mean, I DID complain about Wicked, but I get your point).

[@beybladekatie]

Lady Lydia plus this musical foesnt deviate from the movie as much as those do;; it's pretty close to the original version.

Ikr lol I can’t find the complaints

[@nalabees]

they got removed. as is common when you watch a video a few years after it is uploaded on official channels like this one. I remember watching this before it came to broadway and there were certainly moaners and groaners... as per usual when it's the first time a famous original characters, so to say, shoes are filled, by someone else.

[@nicklehman6507]

If you scroll down to the end of the comments, they unfortunately exist

[@declanp1]

@@nalabees no they didn't. Unpopular comments just get buried. No one is removing them.

[@cureidolsmile9820]

I actually saw this live, and while this song was performed the kids’ parents were in the balcony next to the stage reacting to the song. It was so much fun to watch them too.

[@warrenmoore4743]

Yes, but Alex has to do it 8 times a week for months on end. Jack Black got to do it in several shots. Wonder if Mr. Black could do 8 performances a week.

[@aletzlessorio7046]

oh well, actually he has a band called Tenacious D, they do concerts

[@BMegda]

+Alejandro Díaz but not with 8 performances a week

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

When Jack was starting out with the D they did tons of shows a week.

[@ravenfrancis1476]

I don't think concerts of a comedy rock duo require as much practice or skill as a full blown musical with actual choreography.

[@matttt123451]

you ever seen tenacious d? their entire show is choreographed xD

[@itsavonell]

The kid who plays Zack, he was on Ellen. He's incredible! That little black girl is the most hype one in the crew but she could pump it up a little more! All in all I'm loving it! 

[@soleil2934]

It takes a lot of talent to play Alex Brightman's role. If you watch the musical or even just some of the songs you will see that the role is very loud and energetic. They constantly run out of breath and in this performance he is even sweating. It also takes alot to play the kids too. They are constantly jumping on stage WHILST having to sing and they have to play their instruments live. (Im aware this was 6 years ago but i still wanted to let you know)

[@vorenus13300]

Kids were tired and Alex was doing this 8 times a week. But the show is amazing. Really

[@jonathanmong4927]

It's the anticipation from the drums, I didn't hear too much syncopation as much as I heard rhythmic shakeups

[@Sodapop-gi4bu]

I saw this a few days ago OMG it was sooooo badass!!!! It is so underrated compared to the rest of the other musicals It's so good! I mean come on its written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and has singing kids GO SEE IT

That little girl singing was fucking amazing! 🤯 She was so good! All the kids are great and Alex is awsome!

[@logancarter663]

School of rock is one of my favorite movies of all time, I've seen that movie countless time. So to see this cast recreate the most iconic scene in that movie and do it so amazingly well, it almost brings me to actual tears. Alex Brightman you are one talented son of a bitch, you are able to stand up to the acting titans of jack black and Michael Keaton with ease

[@akisadiamond]

If ANYONE other than Jack Black is worth playing that part, it is Alex Brightman.

Luciano Alonso I think that is what they were going for

[@markfuston2714]

Alex Brightman killed this role..haha, I found out about him through Beetlejuice and didn't know he did this role until earlier tonight, blew me away, I'm pretty sure I've watched clips before and didn't even realize it was him he was going so hard at the role.

[@g.d.roberts196]

The touring version of this show currently playing venues in Canada and U.S. rivals the film. The music is by Andrew Lloyd Webber and each kid sings, dances and plays their own instruments. Spectators will really become sucked into the story and experience it on a whole other level than before. I saw it thrice when it was here.

I saw Wonder Woman yesterday and someone was playing with their phone down near the front. there is always some annoying self centered prick somewhere to contend with.

[@homestuckdubs]

Cejao I was with a friend and their mother to watch a film and the movie was about to start. In the U.K. there's always thing starting thing that usually goes by the lines of, "Now turn off your phones, finish your conversations, blah blah blah." And throughout the man was saying that, this lady in her twenties just played on her phone, probably texting, and you could hear the keys being pressed. Me, my friend and their mother just stared at her, I think she noticed us and slowly out her phone away.

[@JoshFreilich]

vinyl man Hate to "Burst your bubble," but this song wasn't written by Andrew and Glenn. This song, called "School of Rock" in the film, was written by Mike White and Sammy James, Jr. Two of the other songs, "The Legend of the Rent," and "The Math Song" were both written by White and original star Jack Black. Everything else (see "Stick it To The Man" and "You're in the Band") was written by Andrew and Glenn.
