We Will Rock You

We Will Rock You goes on a major UK tour during 2010 and 2011 while the original production continues to play in London at the Dominion Theatre.

We Will Rock You is written by Ben Elton who says: "This show is all about legend. We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the might corporations who want to suppress their individuality and their love of music. They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we have two - the dreamer Galileo and the sassy rock chick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?" For this musical Ben Elton fashioned a hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen's biggest hit songs delivered in a show that boasts the scale and spectacle that marked Queen's live performances.

With Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors on this musical and 'a band without parallel in the theatre' behind the cast you'd be right to expect We Will Rock You to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen's concerts. Brian May says: "The amazing bonus is that Ben's script subtly works as a metaphor too. People definitely come out of the theatre feeling that in a strange way they now know us, Queen, and our struggle, our journey." The show is written and directed by Ben Elton, with production designs by Mark Fisher, lighting by Willie Williams, costume designs by Tim Goodchild, choreography by Arlene Phillips and sound by Bobby Aitken.
