Synopsis
Based on the songs of Queen and with a book by Ben Elton, We Will Rock You has been playing at the Dominion Theatre since May 2002.
A blend of Science Fiction, Comedy and brilliant songs by Queen, We Will Rock You London is set in the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete and everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe world where Rock 'n' Roll has been banned for centuries. Legend persists that somewhere instruments still exist and the Bohemians need a hero to find them...
We Will Rock You, The Queen Musical features 31 of their greatest hits including "Radio Ga Ga", "I Want to Break Free", "Somebody to Love", "Killer Queen", "Play the Game", "Under Pressure", "A Kind of Magic", "Don't Stop Me Now", "I Want It All", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Who Wants to Live Forever", "Another One Bites the Dust", "These Are the Days of Our Lives", "We Will Rock You", "We Are the Champions" and, of course, "Bohemian Rhapsody".
In London We Will Rock You opened at the Dominion Theatre in May 2002 with a cast including Tony Vincent, Hannah Jane Fox, Sharon D. Clarke and Kerry Ellis in the leading roles and is the longest running musical at that venue. Notable cast replacements include Mig Ayesa, Mazz Murray, Brenda Edwards and Rachel Tucker.
The show won five of our Whatsonstage.com awards including Best New Musical, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Actress in a Musical, Best Supporting Actress in a Musical and Best Director.
The show also won the 2011 BBC Radio 2 Olivier Audience Award.
A number of international productions have followed the original London theatre We Will Rock You including Ireland, Australia, Canada, Russia, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Zürich, Vienna, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong.

Nine years on, We Will Rock You continues to rock with just as much enthusiasm and as many Queen anthems (31 in total) as the day it opened.
Three hundred years into the future, we are catipulted to a world where all live music has been outlawed. Scaramouche and Galileo, first finding each other, then find themselves pitted against the Killer Queen in a bid to salvage instruments buried under the wreckage of Wembley Stadium and rescue rock.
The audience, apparently ready and prepped for a two-and-a-half hour celebration of everything Freddie Mercury and co. have a ball, apparently happy to overlook the beyond-laughable Ben Elton book for some rousing renditions of the Queen classics.
The vocal performances are fantastic, Ricardo Afonso and Sarah French demonstrating stunning belts as Galileo and Scaramouche alongside Brenda Edwards as the Killer Queen. For crowds seeking spectacle, over-blown video projection, outrageous costum...

justrelaxmagazine.co.uk - 17 August 2009:
After the initial culture shock of the first 20 minutes of this futuristic musical I am pleased to say I got into it and enjoyed it. I think people who do appreciate proper music played on instruments and not manufactured music will appreciate and understand the very tongue-in-cheek, witty story (written by Ben Elton and Queen) which is based on the music of Queen and manages to link together over 24 songs. The story is set 300 years in the future in a world where proper music has been banned by the Global Soft Corporation. Any rebels who are interested in music are sought out and captured. There were some likeable characters that were appreciated by the audience, the main 2 being Galileo Figaro and Skaramoosh. There were also guest appearances by Kevin Kennedy (Pops), Jonathan Wilkes (Khashoggi) and Brenda Edwards (Killer Queen). All of the singers and dancers were extremely talented, and although the tone of the show was mainly light-hearted, I was particularly moved when the cast paid tribute to rock stars that had died too young including Michael Jackson, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison by featuring the Queen song No One but You (Only the Good Die Young.) I also agreed and cheered and clapped very loudly to ‘Pops’ anti-Big Brother statement along with a lot of the audience! The atmosphere was electric and the cast received 2 standing ovations which I haven’t seen in many years! As long as you are prepared to let your hair down, not take a show too seriously and have fun, We Will Rock You rocks! ...
