Alex carries so many of Jack Black's mannerisms 😂

@TB definetly

[@fabulousroy]

TB PERIOD lol

[@magnificloud]

Whats weird is that I described him as the Jack Black of Broadway before I knew about school of rock 🎸

[@theaternerd4885]

@@magnificloud you are not alone on that. I associated him with black before I knew about school of rock too

[@sapphiredoesstuff9779]

Me 30 minutes from show: frantically trying to get into costume and makeup Alex 30 minutes from show: literally vlogging

[@k.hizzle5376]

My cast and I 30 minutes from show: Running around screaming trying to rehearse the blocking one last time. Luckily we had our costumes on all day so we weren’t too rushed. Alex: Vloging and having fun and just relaxed.

[@omorik8895]

bug man was rock man . we know this bless him

[@robina.c.6380]

3:50 I love how she burns sage around him because he has "strange energy" and then he ended up playing a demon XD

[@ItinerantIntrovert]

From the bottom of my heart I can say Alex is such an inspiration in the way he interacts with these gifted incredible kids. He's so humble and full of undemanding love and on top of that he has a strong sense of humor. I wish him continued success

[@Analblockage]

Alex Brightman seems like a really cool dude. I saw School of Rock in previews and its easily my favorite show this season. I have seen Hamilton 3 times now but I gotta say I enjoyed this show more. The energy is just so contagious and the kids are insanely talented. Hope to see this show again very soon!

[@yodafolders7174]

Laughs in Matilda

[@haydenpolsky995]

he is a really cool dude. ive worked and hung out with him a few times, he's great. his humor and heart are amazing (and i love his dog)

[@gracieliz95]

I love that you talked to people at the box office! I would have been freaking out if the star of the show was there when I went to buy tickets.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I wouldn't be able to contain myself if Alex was right there at the box office when I was buying my tickets.

[@Theordoreqaz]

Does Alex just casually have a bra on his shoulder lol

[@kitteridgesimpson8144]

Aaron That's where they're kept. Duhhh

[@katiecavanaugh9537]

it’s almost been 4 years but i’m in love with him

[@Maybethistime15]

Amazes me how much Alex is like Jack Black...Looks like him, sounds like him acts like him, sings like him, he's perfect!!!!!!!

[@Niqhtmusic]

Sasha Carrillo he *IS* him

[@k.hizzle5376]

Plot twist: He is secretly Jack Black

[@EarlofSuave308]

I saw the show last night and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Alex really pulled it off, he puts out an incredible amount of energy and it is hard to comprehend how the he does it night after night. The kids in the show are amazing, they are actually playing the instruments at a high level of professionalism. Unbelievable! I'm old as the hills but kids like me of all ages will not be disappointed.

[@bolindai9327]

Awwww I've missed Sierra!!! WAIT CAN WE HAVE A ROOM GOAT IN THIS ONE???

[@lukemckenzie0121]

[@smondello]

Watching for Sierra because she's hysterical!

[@Kate-ni6bp]

I NEED a Beetlejuice vlog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Wuvass]

Watching this years later, it's good to know that the broadway starts are just a bunch of theater kid nerds like the rest of us

[@ggchiu7400]

alex is so wholesome wtf- his cafe- for this friends and crewmates- also how did no one at the entrance of school of rock freak out when alex came out of stage door- i'd literally faint

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Gosh, I miss this show. I got to see it with Alex and Sierra. Went mostly for Sierra at the time, but became a huge fan of Alex’s after seeing him. Even more so after Beetlejuice.

[@hannahp7252]

BOGGESS the GODDESS 😍

[@grodriguez7225]

Love the show, my favorite song is "Stick to the Man!"

[@tomward8640]

[@adamcieslik1152]

Alex - thank you for a great show! I've seen SoR the Musical 3 times, in spite of only 3 nights in NY! It is amazing, so much energy! I wish I could live in NY, unfortunately I live 4200 miles away in Europe... Thanks to you guys (and especially Brandon - Zack) I eventually started my adventure with the guitar! Thank you! I pledge allegiance to the Hard Rock Life! And I'm in the band :D
