Based on the hilarious film, this fish-out-of-water musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There, he turns a class of straight-A students into a mind-blowing rock band with roof-raising energy. A family show for all ages!

He is one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Now, Michael Jackson’s unique and unparalleled artistry comes to Rochester in MJ, the multiple Tony Award®-winning musical centered around the making of the 1992 Dangerous World Tour. Created by Tony Award®-winning Director/Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, MJ goes beyond the singular moves and signature sound of the star, offering a rare look at the creative mind and collaborative spirit that catapulted Michael Jackson into legendary status. It’s thrilling sold-out crowds on Broadway, in cities across North America, and in London’s West End…and now MJ is startin’ somethin’ in Rochester as it makes its premiere at West Herr Auditorium Theatre in December 2024.
