I really don't see how such a great show can be ending after such a long and successful run. It begs me to believe that at some point, they have to bring it back. Not only for the musical goodness, but also the story they have created.
After seeing the show, I loved Queen even more. It's strange how some artists now are no longer heard of after a year but Queen has managed to span time and popularity to continue living in people's hearts. It's something about that band that is unforgettable and it's same for We Will Rock You musical.
The musical begins in a futuristic sort of way and I would be lying if I was a bit skeptical when it first started and wondered what the heck I was seeing. But as the story unraveled and the songs played on to reveal a plot line, I was completely immersed into it. Not only was there a good story line with fantastic actors, they also wove into the story a couple of good jokes from both past and the present. It was a show that I could laugh at and sing along to whilst thinking about how the world lost such an amazing artist with Freddie Mercury.
Every time I see a musical, it always makes me want to be able to sing and wish that when I was born I was given such a talent. They're such powerful singers with what seems an effortless performance. They really are beyond talented and they do such a good job every single day that the show is running. I admit how much passion and effort they put into every single performance whether it be a matinee or evening performance. You can really tell how much they love their job and I bet it makes it all worthwhile to see people being overwhelmed by their performance. It's nice to be able to watch something where they can belt out the songs of my past without it being a crap tribute band that doesn't do the songs justice.
If you're looking for a quick late booking for any musical, I would urge you to go and see it before it goes out of theatres. If you enjoy the music of Queen and enjoy a musical with a story line that based around love and finding who you are in a world where things are replicated, i.e. personality and fashion prescribed to you; I would suggest We Will Rock You. I don't think it's meant to be one of those musicals that make you think but it does make you wonder about what life will be like in the future. It seems like artists these days sing less from the heart and more for the money, which makes me sad. I think from this musical, I took the message to just be yourself and be determined to never lose who that is.
But I loved it! I completely utterly was smiling; laughing and singing all the way through. I'm so glad that I managed to go and see it before it left the theatres.
It makes me want to reiterate my first point about how such a brilliant musical can be taken away from the West End in place of what I hope won't be a let down.
Definitely worth it! I loved it
And remember, ROCK ON!
