School of Rock Review

  What some people, including myself, often thinks that rock music are only played by people with angry and cynical emotions; However, I did not like this style of music most of the time because of too much screaming and noisy sound it made. Eventually, this show---School of Rock made me see another side of rock music. It is also music, and it can be encouraging, powerful and fun. It is a kind of music that makes people step out of their box. The melody of this line "Stick to the man" was inside my head for the whole night after the show.
     One part I like the most besides the exciting music, is how I felt related to the plot. The last drama theme our school performed, was a little bit hard to fall in and feel the same. As a student, stories that are set in the school is definitely more attracting in the first place. As a junior, getting straight As is what many view as the most important and as a sign of success. My parents were never harsh on me, especially on grades. They never expected me to study for the whole time and thought that there are things that are more important than the points that are showed on the grade book. But stepping into my Junior year, I realized that even they doesn't push on my grades, I have started to understand the importance of grades and it effecting my future, including my college then a job after college. I felt pressure of satisfying and giving back to my parents, how they afford the fees and send me far away to have a better future. I felt responsibility and sometimes as a teenager trying to social, I am pretending to be someone I'm not, just like the principle, who has hidden her true feelings and hobby trying to fit to a high position.
     A very precious and is an evidence of a scene being convulse, is for the audience to have goose bumps. School of Rock did it, I felt goose bumps when the parents started to clap for their children's final performance, it was touching. The only thing that I did not like so much about this script is its distribution for every actors. Lexi did such a great job, but I think it is a pity how many actors did not have a chance to speak over two lines. I realize how the plot is set to only have a few main characters but it was just a little sad to see some of them not having a line through the whole performance.
     Overall, I found myself liking dramas with singing better. Most of the dramas I've seen in our school and outside school, those with singing are what I enjoyed the most comparing to those pure talking dramas. I especially like those Broadway shows. The School of Rock is a classic drama with good songs and it is now my favorite show of the school year.
