We Will Rock You

We Will Rock You at London Coliseum

Why see We Will Rock You?

Alright, louder!

Ben Elton stars in his behemoth musical!

The unforgettable songs of Queen form the basis of this iconic roof-raising jukeboxer, written by the band and Ben Elton. First blazing onto the West End in 2002 (where it ran for 12 years), it has since been catapulted to international success, bringing the work of Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John to audiences all over the globe with its tale of rock rebels looking for freedom and love. Fierce, hilarious, and bursting with the hits you love, don't miss your chance to see it when it makes a triumphant West End return to the London Coliseum in the summer of 2023, where Ben Elton will take to the stage for the first time as Rebel Leader!

With over 24 of Queen's best tunes delivered with a spectacle big enough to match the iconic quartet's electrifying live performances, We Will Rock You is the ultimate tribute to one of the greatest rock bands this world has ever known!

Expect breathtaking special effects, sexy costumes, copious amounts of leather and Queen classics like the titular showstopper 'We Will Rock You', 'Radio Gaga', 'Somebody To Love', 'Don't Stop Me Now' and many more jam-packed into an epic rock musical for the ages.

What is the story?

Set on the futuristic iPlanet, We Will Rock You follows two young rebels - Galileo and Scaramouche - who are determined to seek life outside of their manufactured music world where all instruments are banned. On the run from the Killer Queen's police, they join forces with the Bohemians in their struggle to search for the one remaining instrument which will help free them from the Killer Queen and her army of brain-washed Ga Ga kids.

Great Queen Music but cheesy story

This was not what I expected. The story about saving Rock and Roll from a future of soul less music that the generation stream. It was a bit too cheesy for me at the start with jokes that were a bit too silly. The first half of the show was ok however the second half of the the show was Incredible and Outstanding! Excellent vocals and some of the best Queen hits made up for a story that I didn’t really like that much. I understood the concept but the story just didn’t do it for me it was a very unusual concept for Queen hits. But overall the actors and cast were fantastic and the songs great that saved the day. I would not watch it again due to the cheesy story but it was very entertaining. ... Read more

Excellent Concept!

The way the idea of the fictional world has been portrayed is superb. The music is really good and includes a number of Queen's hits with slight alterations in lyrics. Overall, “We Will Rock You” is a great musical show. ... Read more

Waiting to be a Part of the Pleasure

This famous and perhaps the longest running musical show never fails to amuse me and I am all set for beholding the 12th hit year of We Will Rock You at the Dominion Theatres. The imaginary future echoing a deep sense of void and nothingness portrayed by the play evokes in me a sense of awe and I prefer watching the play again and again. ... Read more
