The musical 'School of Rock' is set to hold open auditions for young actors who will take center stage in its first Korean-language production.
Production company S&Co announced on November 4 that it is accepting applications for young actors to participate in the musical from November 3 to 25.
Eligibility for the auditions includes children aged 8 to 12 as of November 2026 (born between December 2013 and November 2018) who are under 152 cm tall and have not yet entered puberty. The first round of applications, including documents and video submissions, will be accepted until November 25 at 6 PM. Following this, in-person auditions and workshops will take place in January 2027 to select the final candidates.
The selected actors will begin preparations for the stage in May 2027. From May to June, they will focus on developing basic skills through weekly instrument practice. During the summer break from July to August, they will engage in intensive rehearsals, including singing, acting, choreography, and band practice, meeting five to six times a week. From October to December, they will participate in full rehearsals to prepare for a polished performance.
'School of Rock' is based on the 2003 film of the same name starring Jack Black. The musical features music and production by Andrew Lloyd Webber, a renowned figure in modern musical theater known for works like 'The Phantom of the Opera' and 'Cats.' The show has enjoyed two successful world tours in 2019 and 2024, receiving enthusiastic responses from audiences. It is set to meet audiences anew in 2027 as the first Korean-language production.
