Queen and obviously named after their hit single of the same name. The musical was written by the British comedian and author Ben Elton in collaboration with Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor.
The musical was first produced in London by Queen Theatrical Productions and opened in the West End at the Dominion Theatre on May 14, 2002, with Tony Vincent, Hannah Jane Fox, Sharon D. Clarke and Kerry Ellis in the main roles. The musical was panned by critics, but was an audience favourite and is the longest-running musical at that venue.
The story takes place in the future where originality and individualism are shunned. A lone “Dreamer” (who is revealed to be a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury) appears who can fulfill a prophecy that will enable the return of rock ‘n roll.
A number of international productions have followed the original, and We Will Rock You has been seen in Ireland, Australia, Canada, Russia, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Zürich, Vienna, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong. As of July 2009, productions are still active in Great Britain, Italy and Germany.
A sequel is currently in the works, and a draft has been completed. A film adaption of the musical is planned and the scripts have been completed.
