“The show is live, dangerous and more than anything else: it rocks!\u201d<\/h5>\nBrian May, Queen<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

WE WILL ROCK YOU tells the story of a globalized future without musical instruments. A handful of rock rebels, the Bohemians, fight against the all-powerful Globalsoft company and its boss, the Killer Queen; they fight for freedom, individuality and the rebirth of the age of rock. Scaramouche and Galileo, two young outsiders, cannot come to terms with the bleak conformist reality. They join the Bohemians and embark on the search to find the unlimited power of freedom, love and Rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the musical came after a meeting between the actor Robert De Niro with musicians Brian May and Roger Taylor, in Venice in 1996. De Niro’s daughter was a big fan of the Queen and the actor asked if the legends of rock had never thought of creating a musical based on their songs. That was the beginning of everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2002 over 15 million theatre goers in 17 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, Popcorn). Elton fashioned this hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen\u2019s biggest hit songs including We Are The Champions, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Don\u2019t Stop Me Now, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and of course, We Will Rock You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe audience get to become part of what eventually becomes a rock concert\u2026\u201d<\/p>\nBen Elton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

WE WILL ROCK YOU reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen\u2019s live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. With Queen\u2019s Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors and \u201ca band without parallel in the theatre\u201d behind the cast, the audience can expect WE WILL ROCK YOU to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen\u2019s concerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
