WE WILL ROCK YOU – THE MUSICAL by QUEEN & Ben Elton
Presented by Made For Stage UK Ltd & ALTD Productions
Get ready to rock as we bring you the iconic, high-energy musical We Will Rock You to the stage!
Set in a dystopian future where live music is banned, instruments are forbidden, and individuality is crushed, We Will Rock You follows a group of rebel Bohemians fighting to bring back freedom of expression — and rock ‘n’ roll.
At the heart of the story is Galileo, a dreamer who hears strange words in his head. Alongside the fierce and fearless Scaramouche, they join the rebellion to challenge the tyrannical Globalsoft Corporation, led by the Killer Queen. Their mission? To rediscover the lost power of rock and unleash the spirit of Queen once more.
Featuring over 20 of Queen’s greatest hits — including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Somebody to Love,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Under Pressure,” and of course, “We Will Rock You” — this electric jukebox musical is a celebration of music, rebellion, and staying true to who you are.
With spectacular vocals, epic rock anthems, and plenty of laughs along the way, this is a night out that will have you clapping, stomping, and singing along from start to finish.
