In School of Rock, audiences watch Dewey Finn bond with a classroom of talented kids as they spend their school hours jamming to classic rock songs and learning important rock-music history. It turns out the scene isn't much different backstage where Justin Collette (who stars as Dewey) hosts daily jam sessions for his young costars. TheaterMania got an exclusive invite to one of these preshow free-for-alls, so here's your chance to look inside the true School of Rock behind Broadway's School of Rock.
