11:45am Tuesday 2nd August 2011
QUEEN’S smash hit musical We Will Rock You comes to the Liverpool Empire next month as part of its national tour.
Written and directed by Ben Elton, the Olivier-award winning show will be staged in the city from September 6-24.
Set in the future, it features more than 24 of the band’s hits in a show that boasts the scale and spectacle of their legendary live performances.
Ben Elton said: “The show is about legend. We take the legend of Queen and create our own fantastical story of young kids battling the mighty corporations who want to suppress their individuality
and their love of music.
“They need a hero who can help them in their struggle, and we have two – the dreamer Galileo and the sassy rock chick Scaramouche. Guess who ends up winning?”
The show, which opened at at the Dominion Theatre in London 10 years ago, is the ninth longest running show in the capital’s West End. There have, so far, been more than 3230 UK performances.
According to the show’s website, an average of 620,000 tickets are sold in the UK every year and more than 12million have been bought worldwide.
Queen’s guitarist, Dr Brian May, and drummer Roger Taylor are the show’s music supervisors. Arlene Phillips is choreographer.
Dr May, who is also chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University said: “The touring production of We Will Rock You has taken our show to new places in more ways than one!
“The London show thunders on, and continues to delight audiences, but the touring cast and band have brought a new interpretation and style all of their own. It’s a tonic!”
The Globe has two pairs of tickets to give away for the show’s opening night.
To be in with a chance of winning, answer the following question: Who wrote Queen’s 1975 hit Bohemian Rhapsody?
Send the answer to: We Will Rock You, Wirral Globe, Haymarket Court, Hinson Street, Birkenhead. The entry deadline is 5pm on Monday, August 15.
