That would be pretty cool.Īrianna: We went to go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – it was so phenomenal! My brother’s birthday is coming up so we’re hoping to go his gaming cafe so maybe there’s a slight chance of meeting him. Julian: My favourite animator Domics (who has a YouTube channel) lives here in Toronto so I hope to meet him. Is this the first time you’re all in Toronto? What are you loving so far?Ĭameron: I went to the Science Centre the other day and I want to go back every single day for the next five weeks. We have to jump around alot during the show so we have to stay calm before going on stage. During that five minutes I think about how my character reacts to another on stage.īella: A half hour before the show we have to kinda conserve our energy because when we’re on stage we have to give out so much. Then, five minutes before a show we all do nothing. But usually around five o’clock, I really begin to mentally prepare. We just do what we want.Īrianna: We do warm ups before the show and sometimes in our hotel rooms. ![]() We’re techie people and not that serious. Julian: Me and Mason have much in common! We are both like computers. It was like a lottery ticket thinking I probably wouldn’t get it but I thought it would be just cool to say I had auditioned for a Broadway show. I thought’d I’d just audition for this show. I started playing drums when I was two years old. I had never really done any acting before so for me it feels really great to actually play drums on stage. It’s alot of fun!Ĭameron: I pretty much got into this because I play the drums. I like playing Marcy too because she’s super high energy through the entire show. That’s pretty cool and really, it’s the best job ever! I can relate mostly to Katie because she’s the quiet one but she can do alot. So in some way shape or form I can relate to all the characters I play. My favourite thing about being in this show is I can go on as anybody. That’s me in real life! Getting to portray this character in the show and she’s like me, that’s pretty cool.īella: As a swing I get to perform most of the girl roles except for Tamika. I don’t know that I’d call myself, personally as “sassy” but it’s really fun to play Summer.Īrianna: My favourite part of my character is that she’s joyful and likes to sing alot. Sami: I love playing someone who’s sassy yet gets to be part of a band at the same time. What do you love about your character and be honest, is it anything like the real you? We had a chance to chat with a few of the kids in the show including Sami Bray (Summer), Arianna Pereira (Shonelle), Cameron Trueblood (Freddie), Julian Brescia (Mason), and Bella Fraker (female swing) to learn more about what it’s like to be in this high octane show. They’ve got so much energy, we’re exhausted just thinking about it. ![]() Yes, we caught those Kardashian and Kanye moments! And we’re still trying to catch our breathe from watching the actors - especially the kids who range from 10 to 14 years old. ![]() The show is full of funny fast-paced dialogue - good job keeping it relevant for today’s fast moving younger generation. Students learn to think outside the box and parents discover what their kids are capable of even if it’s through *gasps* rock and roll. With a class full of high achieving students, Dewey turns academia on its head. Needing cash to pay rent Dewey takes on an unexpected position as a substitute teacher at a private school. He never quite grows out of his teenage ways. Cast of School of Rock – Photo by Evan Zimmerman – MurphyMadeīased on the hit movie, this Broadway smash hit musical follows Dewey Finn, a guy who dreamt of becoming a rockstar but was unsuccessful. But one thing is for sure - the kids in this show are having a lot of fun. Toss in their tutors, media appearances and time to just be kids…well, it’s jammed packed for weeks, if not months. It means days of rehearsing lines, songs and choreography over and over and over again before heading into performances. It means being on the road in different cities for weeks. It can be tough for the youth in a large production like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s School of Rock The Musical, whose cast includes a significant number of kids.
