We Will Rock You

This is a real fun, sensational Musical Comedy. Rock band Queen joins forces with writer Ben Elton to bring their unique sound to theatreland. Set in the future when musical instruments have been banned, it's up to a group of anarchists, The Bohemians, to rediscover Rock. The sets are amazing, it features over 30 of Queens most famous hits and the cast are fantastic.

We Will Rock You delivers a feel-good, fast-paced journey into the future where musical instruments are no longer allowed and a gang of misfits search to regain what has been lost.  A clever and funny script by Ben Elton combines with the ageless music of Queen and brilliant sets to make for an evening to remember.

Fancy Being Freddie For A Day?

We Will Rock You fans are being encouraged to celebrate the life of the late Freddie Mercury by dressing up as the great front-man to raise funds for the fight against HIV AIDS.

The idea was dreamed up by Liz Swanton, a City worker and part-time editor of the Mercury Phoenix Trust website, after being inspired by the popular Queen musical’s 8th birthday celebrations last year. 

Freddie For A Day will take place on Friday Sept 3 - the closest weekday to Freddie Mercury’s birthday of Sept 5.

Strut Your Stuff like Freddie

To take part in the event you can choose any outfit that Freddie wore whilst performing (with or without moustache), then ask friends, family or co-workers to sponsor you as you wear it for the day. If you’re not a dab hand with a sewing machine, costumes are available via the trust's website.

Freddie Trust Continues Global Work

The Mercury Phoenix Trust was established as a charitable organisation after Freddie Mercury’s death 20 years ago. To date the trust has given over £10M to AIDS charities worldwide. By challenging people to live out a day dressed in one of Freddie’s unmistakeable stage costumes, the trust hope to add to that total and raise awareness of the ongoing global battle against the disease.    
We Will Rock You, the musical by Queen and Ben Elton, is now in it’s 9th smash-hit year at the Dominion Theatre.
