ABOUT THE SHOW
MUSIC & LYRICS BY QUEEN
STORY & SCRIPT BY BEN ELTON
OLIVIER AWARD-WINNING MUSICAL
In a dystopian future where originality is outlawed and music is controlled by algorithms, two young rebels discover something that could change everything: the power of rock and roll.
We Will Rock You explodes onto the stage with more than 20 of Queen's greatest hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Are the Champions," "Somebody to Love," "Don't Stop Me Now," and the thunderous title anthem. This is Queen's legendary catalog unleashed as a full-throttle musical about the fight for individuality and self-expression.
Meet Galileo and Scaramouche, misfits in a world where conformity reigns supreme. When they join the underground Bohemians—rebels hiding in an abandoned tube station—they discover that music hasn't died, it's just been buried. Their mission: find the sacred instruments and bring rock back to a world that desperately needs it.
Winner of the Laurence Olivier Audience Award, this global phenomenon has rocked over 16 million people across 28 countries during its record-breaking runs. Ben Elton's witty book weaves together Queen's iconic songs into an unapologetically bold, defiantly loud, and absolutely electric celebration of everything that makes music matter.
In a world where conformity rules, only rock can set you free. So stomp your feet, throw your hands in the air, and get ready to rock.
