Based on the popular 2003 movie, School Of Rock, the eponymous Broadway musical opened in December 2015 at the Winter Garden Theatre, with lighting design by Natasha Katz, scenic and costume design by Anna Louizos, and sound design by Mick Potter. The Tony Award-winning lighting designer Katz designed the musical with three modes of illumination in mind. Read about her design here, and check out the lighting plot and gear list below.
