6 roles
(Plays Guitar and Sings Rock Tenor) The protagonist, Dewey is a struggling rockstar who is kicked out of his band, No Vacancy, at the beginning of the show. In need of money, he impersonates Ned Schneebly and gets a substitute teacher job at the Horace Green School, where he founds the band School of Rock with the students, who are musical prodigies. Dewey is wild, desperate, naive, dull-witted, and somewhat more childish than his students.
(Soprano) Rosalie is the principal of Horace Green, and is very uptight and traditional at school. However, she feels an intense amount of pressure from work, which is what causes her to be so high strung. She has a secret love of rock and roll music, and longs to be as carefree as she once was.
(Baritone): Dewey’s longtime friend, former bandmate, and current roommate. Ned is very easily manipulated, and tends to let people walk all over him—especially his girlfriend, Patty. He still loves rock and roll music, but is held down by Patty. He is a substitute teacher and is impersonated by Dewey at Horace Green.
(Soprano): Ned’s girlfriend. She is very demanding and domineering, and doesn’t let Ned make any decisions for himself. She hates Dewey and wants him out of the apartment and out of her and Ned’s lives.
