Broadway joins Bypass by providing 360-degree access to content.
To promote his next musical Rock school (based on the film), composer Andrew Lloyd Webber released a 360 degree interactive music video for the song “You’re In The Band”. The video features star Alex Brightman (as Jack Black) and a bunch of talented kids shredding in the classroom:
There are several dramatic flourishes in the clip, including a fog machine. But there are also some fun inside jokes for theater geeks: the classroom blackboard features character designs from Cats and The Phantom of the Opera, two of Mr. Lloyd Webber’s other musicals. And if you want to play with the children, the chords of the song are drawn on the ceiling of the classroom.
You can fully enjoy the virtual reality experience by rotating the video screen for a 360 degree view. The YouTube mobile app also supports the immersive experience.
The show’s official Twitter account shared an image of Mr. Lloyd Webber and Julian Fellowes, the show’s book author, swinging around in virtual reality glasses:
Rock school opens at the Winter Garden Theater on December 6.
