Listen up kids, now is your chance to be in the band! Broadway’s currently running “School of Rock” musical seeks possible replacements for several principal roles.

The Tony-nominated musical boasts a score by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Glenn Slater and a book by Julian Fellowes. Based on the 2003 film of the same name, “School of Rock” tells the story of a wannabe musician who poses as a substitute teacher and convinces his students to form a makeshift rock band.

Auditions will be held Nov. 2 for union actors aged 9–13 to round out its pint-sized rock band. Casting roles including Summer, Tomika, Freddy, and Lawrence, the production will hold auditions at New York City’s Pearl Studios.
