We Will Rock You
By Adrian Sutton
And they did. Went to see We Will Rock You – the musical by Queen and Ben Elton last night and it was sensational. The songs fit into the story line brilliantly and the story itself was interesting and not just an excuse for singing the songs. The constant use of song references as bad puns just added to the experience for me and it was particularly impressive to see the customization for the Australian audience. The lead bohemian was titled after the great rock singer from the past “John Farnam” and when captured he was told – “This really is the last time”. That’s the kind of joke that flowed through the night and all of them went down extremely well. The music itself was very loud and very energetic. Unless you are an absolute die-hard, noone can match Freddy Mercury type of person you’ll appreciate the vocal talent that performed the extremely difficult songs Queen put together. Definitely worth seeing.
