WE WILL ROCK YOU TOUR

In the year 2309 the earth - now known as Planet Mall - is governed by the Killer Queen, who is the head of the Globalsoft Corporation. Conformity reigns.
This is achieved using Queen's greatest hits including "I Want to Break Free", "Under Pressure", "Who Wants to Live Forever", "A Kind of Magic", "Radio Ga Ga" and "We Will Rock You". The Killer Queen performs some excellently descriptive numbers: "Play the Game", "Don't Stop Me Now" and "Another One Bites the Dust"
The production is directed by Ben Elton with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors. Arlene Phillips oversees the musical staging and choreography.
