Queen - We Will Rock You

The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete!

Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts.

It's a safe, happy, Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to Rock...

We Will Rock You, the musical by Queen and Ben Elton is an electrifying show that's guaranteed to blow your mind...

We Will Rock You is a massive multi million dollar musical featuring amazing costumes, sets and lighting. The multi talented international cast includes New Zealand's Annie Crummer as the Killer Queen and rock star INXS finalist Miguel Ayesa, in the starring role of Gallileo.

The show is a futurstic adventure set in the year 2350. Live music has been banned on earth, but the kids are in rebellion, fighting against the all powerful Globalsoft Corporation which controls their lives and feeds them a diet of synthesized pop.

We Will Rock You features 24 of Queen's legendary hits including Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, Radio Ga Ga, Another One Bites The Dust and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

The Story

On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The 'Company' computers generate the tunes and everybody downloads them. Nothing is left to chance, hits are scheduled years in advance.
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality

But Resistance is growing. Beneath the gleaming cities, in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see.

Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone.

Is the one who calls himself Galileo that man?
He’s just a poor boy. From a poor family

But the Ga Ga Cops are also looking for Galileo and if they get him first they will surely drag him before the Killer Queen and consign him to oblivion across the Seven Seas of Rye.

Who is Galileo? Where is the Hairy One's lost axe?

Where is the place of living rock?
Anywhere the wind blows...
