I studied with him the other week he is so much fun!! Ps:he had a throat infection try belting through a whole show 3 times a day with a throat infection!
BroadwayInHD See, thats stupid of you. It's like when Leona Lewis became grizabella and people saw ONE video and assumed she was bad. The broadway community is awful in that way. Also like when Lesli left matilda, everyone hated on amy.
Eric was excellent! Funny, great timing and he absolutely killed it! He owned the stage. Unless you've actually seen him perform withhold your judgement.
I went to go see this in June with my school in NYC ( we are from Massachusetts) and It was one of the best things I've ever seen, Now it seems stupid. I know this new guy had a throat infection but it's not that. Its not the same without Alex Brightman and Sierra Boggess. I hope Alex comes back because he was the best
Maxaa I can't say if any of the kids here are new but I DO see a few familiar faces. Luca Padovan aka Billy is part of the OBC. same with the kid on the electric guitar
I think this Dewey is pretty good as he brings a new meaning/character to Dewey , he may be less crazy but he looks crazy. I personally like all of the Dewey's but my favourite has to be Alex brightman
If I had a nickel for every time Alex Brightman played the lead in a new Broadway musical that opened at the Winter Garden Theater, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s still funny that happened twice.
Oh my God! This show won´t last! The new actor playing Mr. Schneebly has the most horrible voice I´ve ever heard in ALL my entire life! The same case occurs this moment in the London production! Both actors have a very strong presence and personality but they have NO VOICE! They can´t sing!
MIGUEL ANGEL ESPINOSA SILVA Actually, David Fynn in London is so unbelievably like alex brightman its scary... David's alternate, Gary Taylor, is the worst of any of them.
Have to disagree with this one. I saw David perform in London and he is SO similar to Alex Brightman and so unbelievably talented and suited to this role it's insane! So have you seen David perform the full show or are you just going off a clip or something here? Because seriously don't judge until you've seen him. He's insanely talented and a perfect Dewey.
Wow! Trekkie Monster in the house!!! jk. He may be having a throat problem on this performance, but I guess he's lacking the youthful energy that the show needs. He's a bit stiff on some parts.
EmilyEames X Hmm.. Well that explains it. Like others have said It's a shame he had to preform that with the infection. They really should have gotten Will or someone else to perform then. They should make a promotional video or something with him when he's healthy so people know what his real voice sounds like. That's just IMO tho.
I don’t like this guy as Dewey. I just saw this play last week and the current cast is honestly the best. They all play their characters amazingly and can actually SING. Smh this guys not good
Dang i forgot about how these comments were 💀 in 2017 i watched Eric as Dewey and he was great! Y’all gotta stop comparing actors. If he were to act/portray Dewey EXACTLY like Alex you would say that he is being too much like him. Anyways I believe that Eric had a chest infection in this performance as well
Yeah, I heard that. Plus, this is a pre-recorded performance. Exhaustion probably set in at some point, and for some reason, the editors chose not to use the best takes (unless these were the best takes, in which case, yikes, was this poor guy tired!)
Guys, this guy is apparently having a bad day, I saw him about three weeks ago and he was SOOOOOO amazing! This does nothing to his voice. I like him better than I liked Alex.
i dont know why people are hating on eric! i saw him just a few weeks ago and he was so amazing. his vocal range was higher and he lost a bit of weight aswell (not saying thats important in any way, i just saw a few comments criticizing it lmao)
Guys I know you're all upset over Alex leaving, but I promise this guy is better than this performance. I went to an actual Broadway performance of his live less than a month ago and it was soooo good.
If you actually like Jack Black and the movie School of Rock, you will hate this. My evidence, myself. This is garbage music and has no actual rock. The way these kids dance and sing is cringe compared to the movie. Only good part is the kid hitting a guitar solo. Totally goes against the point of the movie and play which is to show kids real music. (rock)
I studied with him the other week he is so much fun!!
Ps:he had a throat infection try belting through a whole show 3 times a day with a throat infection!
I liked Alex Brightman. I am hoping he will reprise his role for the LA run.
Rachel Frumkin to jjjjjjjjjJjjKKKKKKK
His voice isn’t nearly as strong as Alex, plus his voice is kind of rough, so it just isn’t nearly as good as it could have been
he had a throat infection in this. he is better in real life!
This new guy is not doing it for me. He seems VERY vocally constricted.
RorySeizeTheDay Lol, he had a major chest infection here. Eric is brilliant dont worry.
iiSirLeonard RBLX Oh right, that makes sense. At first I was like: whaaaaaaat?
If that's the case then they should have let the understudy perform. This performance make me want to never return to SOR.
BroadwayInHD See, thats stupid of you. It's like when Leona Lewis became grizabella and people saw ONE video and assumed she was bad. The broadway community is awful in that way. Also like when Lesli left matilda, everyone hated on amy.
BroadwayInHD Haha, I'm subscribed to you! I love your stuff :)
Eric was excellent! Funny, great timing and he absolutely killed it! He owned the stage. Unless you've actually seen him perform withhold your judgement.

I know this new guy had a throat infection but it's not that. Its not the same without Alex Brightman and Sierra Boggess. I hope Alex comes back because he was the best
I saw this guy on Broadway and he was great
I like the original cast better
Dagmar Ordonez same
This isn't Alex Brightman is, or any of the original kids is it? I don't like these guys at all. The main cast is better
Maxaa I can't say if any of the kids here are new but I DO see a few familiar faces. Luca Padovan aka Billy is part of the OBC. same with the kid on the electric guitar
The kid on the guitar is my uncle's cousin Brandon Niederauer
The guitarist is
Is this guy the new main Dewey? He's very bad lol, not even comparing him to the original. I hope he was a swing that went on.
ThatGuyJay3 Nope, its eric petersen the new lead. Who, had a major throat infection during this performance.
This performance isn't doing it for me..
New Dewey seems like the guy who you always see at Christmas and tries to be cool
How many takes of this did they do? The actor playing Dewey has no energy. He's literally marking every single one of his movements.
I saw it last week and this wasn't their best performance. Much better when I saw it
I saw this play yesterday
He was my host for a show I performed at and he did a beautiful belt from Shrek the musical. I think that day was just not his day
I think this Dewey is pretty good as he brings a new meaning/character to Dewey , he may be less crazy but he looks crazy. I personally like all of the Dewey's but my favourite has to be Alex brightman
lol this was great . well done ..
NewsNowILLINOIS MarkPullen it really was. I honestly like how he over does the role. It's like jack black
Dewey Finn: Hit me man! Hit me! Oh! Oh!
Lol
Same guy I had. I loved it
So addictive
If I had a nickel for every time Alex Brightman played the lead in a new Broadway musical that opened at the Winter Garden Theater, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s still funny that happened twice.

MIGUEL ANGEL ESPINOSA SILVA Actually, David Fynn in London is so unbelievably like alex brightman its scary... David's alternate, Gary Taylor, is the worst of any of them.
Do you have any shows of David that I can see?
ThatGuyJay3 No, unfortunately not. But from seeing both alex and david in person, they're so incredible.
Have to disagree with this one. I saw David perform in London and he is SO similar to Alex Brightman and so unbelievably talented and suited to this role it's insane! So have you seen David perform the full show or are you just going off a clip or something here? Because seriously don't judge until you've seen him. He's insanely talented and a perfect Dewey.
He performed on xfactor UK and Michael Macintyre Show and the One Show if you want to look them up!
Two thumbs up!
my school is doing this one for the summer showcase
THERES A MUCH BETTER ONE WITH SWEARING IN IT!!
I SEE LUCA
Britney Peters Luca is the best! I hope he never changes!
YEAH AND ALEX BRIGHTMAN NEEDS TO BE IN LONDON
Eric Petersen Dewey Finn
Jenn Gambatese Principal Rosalie Mullins
School OF Rock Current Broadway Cast
I prefer Alex Brightman
i saw this last weekend and i am honestly in love with it but there was a different keyboardist
Wow! Trekkie Monster in the house!!! jk. He may be having a throat problem on this performance, but I guess he's lacking the youthful energy that the show needs. He's a bit stiff on some parts.
GC Vlog101 He's probably still getting into the physical side of the role...
GC Vlog101 I love the Avenue Q reference 😂😂😂
Why are the kids in the back literally just standing there when Dewey is singing?
I’m gonna be honest the newer guy doesn’t seem to have a very good vocal range he’s practically screaming the words 😂😬
This new guy has a major throat infection
I love the new guy
The Nerd Cave who even are you
One of the girls in that cast used to go to my school, but she left because she got too busy and is now homeschooled
who
i just notice this guy was on kerby buckes
What’s the name of the guy acting Dewey in this?
There's more talent and energy in our school production of the show, they are supposed to be professionals so whys it crap.
I’m sorry he is trying but Alex Brightman set the bar so high
What’s the guy’s name?
WAY TO BE!!!
Alex Bright Man is better!
Will Blum was wayyyy better IMO. Not sure why Webber didn't pick him to take over the role. This guy is not the right choice. Not the best.
AppleAttack he had a throat infection
EmilyEames X Hmm.. Well that explains it. Like others have said It's a shame he had to preform that with the infection. They really should have gotten Will or someone else to perform then. They should make a promotional video or something with him when he's healthy so people know what his real voice sounds like. That's just IMO tho.
Ummmm, excuse me but where is Alex brightman?
He left back in November 2016. Hes in beetlejuice now.
when I saw this it was wayyy better! I think they are tired here lol!
I got Merrit David Janes proforming as Dewey and he was AMAZING. This guy is eh
I don’t like this guy as Dewey. I just saw this play last week and the current cast is honestly the best. They all play their characters amazingly and can actually SING. Smh this guys not good
He has a major throat infection mate
Dang i forgot about how these comments were 💀 in 2017 i watched Eric as Dewey and he was great! Y’all gotta stop comparing actors.

а где алекс-
Guys, this guy is apparently having a bad day, I saw him about three weeks ago and he was SOOOOOO amazing! This does nothing to his voice. I like him better than I liked Alex.
No. Just No. I want Alex and the ORIGINAL Kids. This just doesn’t work.
thoes arn the new guys for
I like Alex more than that guy, he is bad at it
This guy had a major chest infection
What a great replacement
Frankie_Isola love the sarcasm
iSelfy- [MatildaTM/Minecraft] im not being sarcastic. This is not easy to do. I think he did a good job
i dont know why people are hating on eric! i saw him just a few weeks ago and he was so amazing. his vocal range was higher and he lost a bit of weight aswell (not saying thats important in any way, i just saw a few comments criticizing it lmao)
Idk why everyone hates this guy. He seems more of a rocker type than Alex tbh
This isnt harley poe.........
I like Alex better
The London one is better tbh...
Guys I know you're all upset over Alex leaving, but I promise this guy is better than this performance. I went to an actual Broadway performance of his live less than a month ago and it was soooo good.
What kinda monstrosity is this guy.
Major throat infection
