Short description
A new kid in town assembles a fledgling rock band — together, they achieve their dreams and compete against the best in the biggest event of the year, a battle of the bands.
What's left behind the scenes
- All instrumental and vocal parts in the film are performed by the actors themselves, with the exception of the guitar parts by Vanessa Anne Hudgens and Scott Porter, and the piano parts by Lisa Chung. Hudgens and Porter learned their parts, but Jason Moserski from Relentless7 performs them in the film.
- The band's name, “I can't go on, I'll go on,” is taken from the final line of the 1958 novel “The Unnamable” by French and Irish writer Samuel Beckett (1906-1989).
- One of the requirements for potential actors was the ability to sing. Director Todd Graff specifically insisted on this, so the actors perform the vocal parts themselves.
- The role of cellist Irene Lerman was initially written for a young male character named Ira Lerman. The director was so impressed with Elvy Yost at the audition that he ordered the role to be rewritten for her.
