We Will Rock You is not a tribute show, nor does it tell the story of Queen or the legendary Freddie Mercury. Instead, We Will Rock You is a large full-scale new vision musical theatre production with its own storyline set to the music of Queen’s most popular hits.
The production features 24 of Queen’s hit songs including Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Killer Queen, and global favourites We are the Champions, Bohemian Rhapsody and of course, We Will Rock You.
The highly talented cast is a combination of established, well-known performers and fresh new talent.

I once spent a month in Berlin and I would go back there in a heartbeat.
I don't, but I used to perform free gigs at old age homes when I was at school and I recently thought of starting up something like that again.
Just more of the same. I love the trajectory of my life and if things could keep going onward and upward, I'd be incredibly grateful.
