Stone residents are in for a treat as Musical Youth Theatre Stafford hosts an extraordinary tribute to legendary rock band Queen. Titled “We Will Rock You”, the event will take place at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre from 19th to the 22nd July.
The Show
The story and script are by Ben Elton, with Music and Lyrics by Queen – including, Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, Another One Bites the Dust, We are the Champions, I Want to Break Free and many more.
The dystopian landscape of We Will Rock You is an energetic musical set 300 years in the future in a globally corporate world where the soul of music has died a tragic death. It tells the tale of a dreamer whose head is filled with images of a brighter world; a world where rock never died!
An inspiring story about breaking the mould and being your true self, We Will Rock You follows Gallileo (Mackenzie Tyler) and Scaramouche (Erin Gibbons) as they search for the Living Rock, where the last remaining musical instrument is hidden.
Planet Earth has been renamed the iPlanet and is controlled by the Globalsoft Corporation. The head of Globalsoft is the spine-chilling Killer Queen (Lydia Brough-Chesters), who has banned all non-computer-generated music. When hearing of a prophecy that instruments have been hidden somewhere on the planet and that Gallileo – ‘The Dreamer’, will emerge from the people to show the way to them, she orders her Chief of Police, Khashoggi (Toby Hassall), to get to the bottom of the matter and crush any rebellion. Meanwhile, Galileo, a young student and an outsider, is desperate to “break free” from this corporate world. To fulfill the prophecy, Galileo must evade the clutches of the Killer Queen and finally bring back the music. Along the way, he meets fellow outcast Scaramouche and together with the help of Oz (Annie Connell), Brit (Toby Foetu-Foster) and the Bohemians they journey to find Rock’s Holy Grail- Brian May’s guitar.Ticket Details
