WWRY is going to be performing in Halifax onFebruary 19 at Scotiabank Centre.
With the recent Oscar®-winning film, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the music of Queen is more popular than ever.
In 2002, many of those hits were compiled into a rock musical-theatrical experience, entitled WE WILL ROCK YOU, which is back on the road for its latest North American tour.
While WE WILL ROCK YOU is a quirky, eccentric and heartfelt story of outsiders, it’s also a creative cautionary tale for the cyberage. It reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen’s live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. The audience can expect WE WILL ROCK YOU to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen’s concerts.
The 2019-20 North American tour of the WE WILL ROCK YOU musical is an exciting one featuring a talented ensemble cast of young professionals, who are all amazing singers, actors and dancers. The backing band replicates Queen’s music to a tee and the production is outstanding.
Since 2002, over 16 million theatregoers in 19 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of Queen along with an original story written by Ben Elton (“The Young Ones,” “Blackadder, “Popcorn”).
The original West End production featured music supervision from Brian May and Roger Taylor, and Elton fashioned this futuristic story 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,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Under Pressure,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites The Dust” and, of course, “We Will Rock You.”
The original West End production opened at the Dominion Theatre in London on 14 May 2002 and is currently the fifteenth longest-running musical in West End history.
Queen founding members Brian May and Roger Taylor are enthusiastic supporters of this tour.
The late Freddy Mercury put it best when he said: “Our concerts are not live renditions of our albums. They’re theatrical events.”
