Queen & Ben Elton’s
Smash Hit Musical
WE WILL ROCK YOU
Sheffield City Hall
Monday 29 August – Saturday 3 September 2022
Queen & Ben Elton’s smash hit musical ‘We Will Rock You’ is coming to Sheffield City Hall for 8 performances 29 August to 3 September 2022 – tickets on general sale 10am Friday 19 March 2021 from www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk.
With 24 of Queen’s biggest hits and Ben Elton’s hilarious futuristic comedy writing combined, comes a show that boasts the scale and spectacle that marked the band’s legendary live performances. This global phenomenon will continue to be one of the most spectacular touring musicals.
‘We Will Rock You’ has seen unprecedented success in theatres and arenas all around the world since it began in 2002. The show has received continuous rave reviews and standing ovations in every town and city it has visited, and will be ready to pick up exactly where it left off when the new UK tour begins in 2022 with over 16 million theatergoers in 19 countries being thrilled by this awe-inspiring production.
“This show is all about legend,” says Ben Elton. “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?”
Expect your favourite Queen songs including ‘We Are The Champions’, ‘Another One Bites The Dust’, ‘We Will Rock You’, and, of course, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. Says Brian May: “The amazing bonus is that Ben’s script subtly works as a metaphor too. People definitely come out of the theatre feeling that in a strange way they now know us, Queen, and our struggle, our journey. This is a stunning state-of-the art new-look production of WWRY – but of course the original story is now more relevant than ever. We’re confident WWRY fans will love revisiting the world’s first true Rock Theatrical, and a whole new generation will now discover the VIBE!”
Tickets for the 8 performances of We Will Rock You at the Sheffield City Hall 29 August until 3 September 2022 go on general sale 10am Friday 19 March 2021 from www.sheffieldcityhall.co.uk.
