We Will Rock You in London

We Will Rock You – A futuristic tale of rebellion set to music by Queen

We Will Rock You is high voltage stuff, with a stellar cast of superb singers who make writer Ben Elton’s smash hit futuristic stage show an experience full of pure musical magic.

We Will Rock You –The story

Music industry maverick Freddie Mercury is sorely missed by Queen fans the world over. But We Will Rock You isn’t about the band. This quirky tale tells the futuristic story of the rebellious Galileo and his on-off girlfriend Scaramouche, both residents of the troubled planet Mall. The planet is controlled by a particularly joyless and nasty global corporation and to survive, you need to conform. But conformity is no fun at all, with musical instruments banned. Will Galileo defeat the horrid Killer Queen and bring the planet zinging back to life with much-missed rock music? Or is there failure in the stars?

A Ben Elton comedy classic in the making

Ben Elton created the madcap tongue-in-cheek script and also included some of planet Earth’s best-loved riffs, which support the storyline to perfection. Clever stuff! A whole host of celebrities have seen and loved the show, so you’ll be in good company. Songbirds Beyoncé and Britney, actor Michael Caine and Little Britain’s Matt Lucas have apparently all had the time of their life watching We Will Rock You.

Ben Elton has apparently created a sequel including twenty more top notch chart toppers by Queen. But it won’t take to the stage ‘til We Will Rock You has bowed out… which, going by current box office sales, might be a very long time indeed!

We Will Rock You songs

Queen fans break out into spontaneous air guitar solos. The casts’ renditions of the great band’s chart hits are impressive to say the least. And the story bundles along at a fine pace, with act one covering 'Radio Ga Ga', 'I Want to Break Free', 'Somebody to Love' and 'Killer Queen', 'Play the Game', 'Death on Two Legs' and 'Under Pressure', 'A Kind of Magic' and 'Don't Stop Me Now'. And you’ll be rocking out in your seats to 'I Want It All', 'Headlong', 'No-One But You', and 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'.

Act two delights audiences night after night with 'One Vision', 'Who Wants to Live Forever', 'Flash', 'The Seven Seas of Rhye', 'Fat Bottomed Girls', 'Another One Bites the Dust', 'Hammer to Fall' and seven more glorious tracks from the masters of rock.

Unbelievable

Absolutely amazing! Last show so even extra effort went into the final one which made me cry! Brian May joined the cast at the end. Once in a lifetime event!

Almost a concert

It was almost a concert, the music was great and some wonderful singers and dancers. The story didn’t create an emotional response from me. Not recommended for younger people as the references meant nothing to them.

The best show in London! A must see!

Ben Elton’s We Will Rock You is one of the funniest and most entertaining shows I’ve seen - ever!! Audience participation is encouraged and it turns into a massive sing a long at the end. The songs are obviously amazing - I mean they are Queen songs after all! But the actors singing was outstanding! I could watch it again and again!

Better than I thought.

This show has terrible reviews which I had only read the night before we were going.i had bought 2 tickets for myself and my best friend to celebrate her birthday. Front row dress circle tickets were not cheap but row A seats 4&5 were excellent which was more than could be said about the show.A Ben Elton disaster of a remake.He has given himself a main part in his own farcical production about days when rock and roll were banned by galactic leaders. His acting and attempts at singing are embarrassing for the rest of the accomplished entertainers.The show is saved by the amazing voices of the leads. Even the lyrics to the most iconic Queen hits have been changed to suit Mr Eltons narssacistic desire to be famous. Freddie would be turning in his grave. All that said it was an entertaining production but not worth the ticket price. Can't see it running over its 12 week allocation at The Colliseum.

An entertaining, enjoyable musical extravaganza!

I took my son for his first experience of London’s West end! We Will Rock You did not disappoint; we were up on our feet, singing along and thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle. The live band was outstanding, as was the singing. The story line was a little strange but entertaining nonetheless. I would recommend this show to anyone and everyone!

Seen this before in London and in Vegas. Brought the kids 11,16 with us this time for our 20th wedding anniversary. they knew most of the songs. A great night out where you were allowed, encouraged to sing along. Audience were a mix of die hard Queen super fans who knew every word and others just there for the show Maybe not the show for an 11 year old adult references but still very funny. Pop was a great (political) character the musicians were amazing. Wish I could see the band all through the show and they weren't hidden away. Will go again

Queen ahead of it's time! A show to make you feel good!

If you love Queen's music, you will love this made up story around their songs and the funny references to other songs and performers of the same era. Jenny O'Leary performing on Wednesday nights is amazing as the Killer Queen, if you hesitate because Brenda Edwards is not performing on those days, please don't, Jenny's singing and presence on stage is out of this world! It was a real pleasure to see Christine Allado again, I had also loved her performance in "The Prince of Egypt" last year, she is excellent in every way! Ian McIntosh is a great singer choice for this musical as Galileo and Elena Skye's voice mixes wonderfully with his, making some memorable harmonies. Ben Elton, what a treat to have the creator of the show take part in it!

Weird story, very expensive

We really enjoyed the music - obviously!!! But the story was very very weird and Ben Elton was dreadful. And why did he give the lead male an American accent? Queen are an English band and this was an English story with predominantly English accents. The character Meat also had an American accent. It didn't make sense. She was very difficult to understand when she sang. Ian McKintosh was ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. Would have liked more audience dancing at the end - similar to Mamma Mia. Whilst the London Coliseum is a really beautiful theatre, we do not think the show was worth £652 for the four of us.
