INTERVIEW: John O’Hara who is performing in “School of Rock” in Melbourne from 31 Oct at Her Majesty’s Theatre

David & Sue talk to John O’Hara who is not only a presenter on JOY’s Sunday Arts Magazine but is also about to play Ned Schneebly in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “School of Rock” when it comes to Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne from 31st October 2018. It doesn’t start for a few months but you can book NOW on the Ticketek site or at the show site. We can’t wait to see it.

The show is described as follows on its site:

“ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S HIT BROADWAY MUSICAL COMES TO MELBOURNE!

Based on the hit movie, this ass-kicking new musical follows dropout Dewey Finn, a failed rock star forced to earn some extra cash by posing as a teacher at a prestigious prep school. But Dewey isn’t going to teach them algebra or arithmetic, oh no. These kids are going to learn what it takes to become the most awesome rock ‘n’ roll band of all time! But can his new group win the Battle of the Bands without being schooled by their parents and headmistress, or will Dewey have to face the music?

With a new score from Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Glenn Slater, book by Julian Fellowes and an incredible cast of kids shredding guitars, pounding drums and rocking out live, SCHOOL OF ROCK is a pop-tastic treat for all ages. You are invited to tune your air guitar, raise your rock salute and discover the show that hits all the right notes.”
