WE WILL ROCK YOU! A MUST SEE FOR ALL QUEEN FANS... On Valentine's Day I took my SweetHeart to see the theatre production of 'We Will Rock You' live at the Regent Theatre in Melbourne. The story and script was written by Ben Elton and music and lyrics by Queen. With great hits like "Bohemian Rhapsody","Radio GaGa", "Who Wants To Live Forever", "We Are The Champions", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Flash Gordon", "Somebody To Love" and "I Want To Break Free", this is a must see that all Freddie Mercury fans will appreciate & love. The plot is modernised in the distant future (300 years) at a time when musical instruments have been banned and kids are no longer able to make their own music. Instead they are subjected to Global Soft’s computer simulated virtual boy and girl bands, playing mindless boring tracks. The corporate giant that now controls the planet’s music industry has destroyed youth culture, turning all the boys and girls into cyber zombies controlled by programming whose only mission in life is to consume the company’s products. Individuality is seen as a threat and so the company’s police are used to control any kids that do not comply and to destroy their artistic creativity. However there are opponents and in this case it is the “Bohemians”, who are teenagers that keep alive the legend of rock music and live subversive lifestyles outside Global Soft’s control. The Bohemians are awaiting their Messiah, known as the “Dreamer” who will remember the music of the past and will also locate the musical instruments that were hidden away by the rock band “Queen” who apparently anticipated the death of Rock N' Roll and with it the enslavement of the world’s youth. The Killer Queen, an evil dominatrix, is Global Soft’s president and is determined to stop the Dreamer and find and destroy Queen’s musical instruments. Michael Falzon plays the lead character Galileo (the Dreamer), he has a superb voice and definitely sounds similar to the late Freddie Mercury. Kate Hoolihan is great as the goth teen Scaramouche & the brilliant Annie Crummer as the Killer Queen. If this musical Rocks your town then check it out, fans of Queen and music junkies everywhere will love it, just as the LOML and I did. Rock On. | |
