We Will Rock You, written by Ben Elton and musically supervised by Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, is based around Queen's greatest hits. 


The musical opened in London's West end on April 24th 2002, and has received much critical acclaim.

Set in the future it presents a bleak picture of Earth (Planet Mall). So mass produced has the world become that it is devoid of independent musical thought, and filled with Gaga characters who are all 'clones'/ mindless 'sheep'. Live music is banded, and only what the GlobalSoft Corporation produce is legal. Imprisoned for being individual Galileo and Scaramouche meet and don't exactly hit it off to start. However through their search for the 'place of the living rock', their adventures with the Bohemians, and the rediscovery of live music, they unsurprisingly fall madly in love.

For me the plot line is a bit week, and there are some really dodgy story implants to conveniently allow a Queen track to sneak its way in. However, this is a musical with far more musical power than most. And there's nothing quite like experiencing Queen music with the power of a live band. So if you fancy rocking along to a musical, then this is the one for you.
