We Will Rock You (Touring)

Phil McIntyre Entertainment, Queen Theatrical Productions and Tribeca present

INTERNATIONAL TOUR

QUEEN & BEN ELTON’S

WE WILL ROCK YOU

“The audience has the right to expect something as fabulous and grand and theatrical as the music itself.” Ben Elton
When it became news some years back that one of ’s most phenomenally successful comedy writers Ben Elton was teaming up with legends of rock, Queen, for a musical we all wondered what such a unique collaboration would turn out. Especially when screen icon Robert de Niro became so impressed after attending the original workshop that his company Tribeca came on board as American partner.

The result was a new chapter in theatre history – “We Will Rock You” -  a rock ‘theatrical’ which defied all comparisons and has gone on to rock London’s West End and theatres around the world for the past six years to an audience of well beyond 6 million.

Elton fashioned a hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen’s biggest hit songs delivered in a show that boasts the scale and spectacle that marked Queen’s live performances.  And with Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors and “a band without parallel in the theatre” behind the cast you’d be right to expect “We Will Rock You” to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen’s concerts.

“This show is all about legend,” says Ben Elton. “We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the mighty corporations who want to suppress their individuality and their love of music.  They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we have two – the dreamer Galileo and his sassy sidekick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?”
