The Kimmel Center Presents: School of Rock
Philadelphia, PA - School of Rock is "An inspiring jolt of energy, joy and mad skillz!" (Entertainment Weekly). Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a wannabe rock star posing as a substitute teacher who turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band.

While subverting beloved movies can become a bit tiresome, it can be brilliant when it’s done well, and J. Matthew Turner has knocked it out of the park with his reading of The Karate Kid. In the video, Turner asserts that Daniel (Ralph Macchio), not Johnny (William Zabka) is the bully, and that Johnny is the hero. Turner makes an incredibly compelling and convincing case, and I doubt you’ll see The Karate Kid the same way again. If you love The Karate Kid, my apologies in advance, but it turns out you were rooting for a sociopath.
