WE WILL ROCK YOU tells the story of a globalised future without musical instruments.
A handful of rock rebels, the Bohemians, fight against the all-powerful Global-soft
company and its boss, the Killer Queen; they fight for freedom, individuality and the
rebirth of the age of rock. Scaramouche and Galileo, two young outsiders, cannot come
to terms with the bleak conformist reality. They join the Bohemians and embark on the
search to find the unlimited power of freedom, love and Rock!
The idea for the musical came after a meeting between the actor Robert De Niro with
musicians Brian May and Roger Taylor, in Venice in 1996. De Niro's daughter was a big
fan of the Queen and the actor asked if the legends of rock had never thought of
creating a musical based on their songs. That was the beginning of everything.
Since 2002 over 15 million theatregoers in 17 countries have been thrilled by this aweinspiring
production which is based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton (The
Young Ones, Blackadder, Popcorn). Elton fashioned this hilarious futurist comedy around
more than 24 of Queen’s biggest hit songs including We Are The Champions, Radio Ga
Ga, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Under Pressure, Bohemian
Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and of course, We Will Rock You.
