Yesterday we learned that Broadway veteran Alex Brightman (Big Fish) will play Dewey Finn in Andrew Lloyd Webber's new adaptation of the 2003 film School of Rock on Broadway. We're excited to see what Brightman will bring to the role, other than that impish grin, but it will be tough to fill Jack Black's sneakers. Check out the clip below for a refresher on just how perfect Black was for the role.
