Alan H. Green has been rocking out since opening with Alex Brightman and company in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway staging of “School of Rock.” He took us backstage at the Winter Garden Theatre to get a peek at preshow pushups, wig magic, and David Bowie tributes.
Bald folks sometimes have to put on a “Flashdance” headband so the wig can be pinned to something other than one’s bald head. Our hair supervisor, Renee Kelly, doing her thang.
A little preshow plank and pushup session, every show at half hour in the men’s locker room—I mean dressing room.
If you have any doubt that “School of Rock” is an equal opportunity employer, take a look at my three sons. Brandon Niederauer (shoulders) is my son Zack. Gavin Kim (right) is a swing who understudies Zack. Jersey Sullivan (left) is James and understudies Zack. #theyallhavedifferentmoms
Cast warm-up led by our MD Darren Ledbetter. In the midst of all those perfect “ah” vowels, looks like Tally Sessions, in the back, has decided to meditate instead.
The many faces of prop Dewey. When the theater is dark, late at night, I think they talk to each other. Alex Brightman (top) with Michael Hartney, Jonathan Wagner, and Merritt David Janes (left to right).
