We Will Rock You (WWRY or Rock You for short) is a Jukebox Musical by Queen and Ben Elton. The musical was first produced in London by Queen Theatrical Productions, Phil McIntyre Entertainment and Tribeca Theatrical Productions, with Christopher Renshaw as director, Mark Fisher as the production designer, Willie Williams as the lighting designer, Williams & Fisher as co-video directors, Tim Goodchild as the costume designer, Arlene Phillips as choreographer and Bobby Aitken as sound designer. The story takes place in a tongue-in-cheek dystopian future where originality and individualism are shunned, and a lone "Dreamer" appears who can fulfill a prophecy that will enable the return of rock 'n roll.It first opened in the West End at the Dominion Theatre on May 14, 2002, with Tony Vincent, Hannah Jane Fox, Sharon D. Clarke and Kerry Ellis in principal roles. The musical was panned by critics, but was an audience favourite and is the longest-running musical at that venue (finally closing after 12 years on May 31, 2014). Many international productions have followed the original, and We Will Rock You has been seen in Australianote first in 2003-05, , then an updated version starting in 2016, North Americanote a one-act version in Las Vegas from 04-05, a run in Canada from 07-09, then a three-country tour in 13-14, Russianote in 14-15, with dialogue and most of the songs translated to Russian, but closing after 4 months due to production disagreements, Spainnote 03-04, then with a new cast in 07-08, Japannote with the Australian cast in 05, then in 06-07 with some roles recast, South Africanote 06, Switzerland, Germany and Austrianote 06-07 in the former, 08 in the latterand also a Tour in 2014/15 (Germany/Austria), Australasianote 07-08, with a mix of London, Australian, and South African cast members, and visiting New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong, Italynote First in 09-10, then in 18-19 with a new version with minimum cast changes, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Brazil, and at seanote aboard the cruise ship Anthem of the Seas.A workshop script version of the show lasted up until and around the first few previews, when it was tested and changed accordingly. This can be found sometimes around the net, but is rare.A sequel and a film adaptation are reportedly in the works. | |

Villain Song | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: Khashoggi's performance of The Seven Seas of Rhye (and Flash before that) is performed with all the usual candor of a Villain Song and has a background choir provided by members of La Resistance during Electric Torture. Not the mention the Killer Queen's performances of Killer Queen (though the first verse is sung by some of her minions) and Another One Bites the Dust. And also "A Kind of Magic". The 2022 UK tour gives us The Show Must Go On which sees the Killer Queen join Khashoggi in raiding the Bohemian camp, killing Brit herself via electrocution and using her powers to control and round up the Bohemians in a Curb-Stomp Battle . | |

| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_21c05222 | comment |
Long-Runners: It was the longest running musical in the Dominion Theatre, and one of the longest running on the West End (12 years). By now, this gets lampshaded in the show: one of the characters tells the tale of a beautiful theatre where We Will Rock You ran for 150 consecutive years. (After which the subway station outside was still under construction.) | |

Beautiful All Along: It could be said that this is the case for Scaramouche, however, she is never really stated as unattractive. The only difference the makeover seems to give her is a boost to her own self confidence when it comes to her body image. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: This play presents a future where people have become mindless consumers who all consume the same band fashions, music and lifestyles. Our heroes are the Bohemians, underground rebels who oppose the mainstream and wish to reclaim the old ways. At the end of the show our heroes realize that in order to defeat the villains they have to perform an awesome song, mainly Queen's "We Will Rock You". They decide to also broadcast the performance so that the whole world will see and then become Bohemians too. So, mindlessly following trends was bad when it was pop music and bright colors, but it's okay when the stuff you like is what is being consumed. Nice. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: 2022's Killer Queen is an artificial intelligence from an adult entertainment videogame who committed a Grand Theft Me on one of her creators. She did this to take over Globalsoft and to rake in loads of totalitarian dystopia money, but she still enjoys sex and is somewhat nostalgic for her humble, carnal beginnings. | |

Irrelevant Act Opener | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_55edb17e | comment |
Irrelevant Act Opener: One Vision to an extent. It shows part of the Ga Ga day - and gives more Orwellian parallels, but it does seem irrelevant considering how Act One ended. note In recent performances, particularly in the US, the "Flash/Seven Seas of Rhye" scene has been moved to the spot where "One Vision" formerly played. | |

Scaramouche: A sarcastic, cynical character and Galileo's love interest. In the finale she shows talent playing the electric guitar, and another character declares that she is a reincarnation of Brian May, only this time "he's a babe". The character's name is a reference to the lyrics in the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody". | |

The 2022 UK tour gives us The Show Must Go On which sees the Killer Queen join Khashoggi in raiding the Bohemian camp, killing Brit herself via electrocution and using her powers to control and round up the Bohemians in a Curb-Stomp Battle . | |

Cultural Translation | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: The Las Vegas version was rewritten to set the Seven Seas of Rhye in Vegas (long since flooded thanks to global warming). In the Cologne-Version (not the tourversion, which also was shown at Cologne) the Seven Seas of Rhye were set in Cologne. In Las Vegas Graceland, Elvis Presley's mansion, replaced Wembley Stadium in the climax. The Vegas-specific jokes were added, including a Bohemian named Wayne Newton, Galileo having a bad dream about Celine Dion, and a Take That! at Cirque du Soleil when Pop claims a Queen musical was so successful in Vegas that it ran the Cirque shows out of town (though this one turned out to be a Failed Future Forecast, as the Vegas run of the show closed after a year while the Cirque shows continue to this day). Parts of the dialogue especially the songs Galileo quotes throughout the play are changed depending on the country or city. Both Italian editions have their own changes. The names of some Bohemians are the ones of Italian singers (all of them in the 2009 run, only two of them in the 2018 version), and a pair of other Italian media gags are also present - such as a throwaway line about Barbara D'Ursonote An Italian talk show host that is not very appreciated by many becoming the main news host under Globalsoft's wing. | |

Entertainingly Wrong: When Galileo and Scaramouche find the Bohemians at the Seven Seas of Rhye, they assume that they are alright and that the fight is back on, not knowing (maybe forgetting) that Khashoggi had them all brain-drained. Pop sets the record straight. | |

"I Want" Song | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_8338de89 | comment |
"I Want" Song: Oh, where to begin. A lot of the songs could be considered I Want songs to someone or other. For Galileo we have I Want to Break Free that is, until you click that the only way he can 'break free' from life is to... yeah... For Scaramouche it's I Want to Break Free and Somebody to Love. Though the latter does seem to be more about her bitter loneliness For the Bohemians it's I Want It All. For the Killer Queen, arguably, Play the Game. note Or, if it plays the US, "Now I'm Here." Khashoggi has Seven Seas of Rhye which is also one of the more awesome scenes to watch. Pop/Buddy has the melancholic These Are the Days of Our Lives, which is less of a personal want, but more of a desire for a return to simpler times. | |

Stepford Smiler: The Ga Ga kids. So much so that they are described as Stepford Kids in the book. But they aren't hiding anything... Depends on your viewing of the show, and how much attention is payed to incidental details. During One Vision the dance set-up subtly implies that many of the Ga Ga kids may hide Bohemian tendancies. | |

Ironically, Killer Queen sings about three songs about throughout the play. This is excusable, though, because it's a musical.

Shout-Out: Most notably, the names of the Bohemians, and a remarkably high proportion of the dialogue is just straight shout-outs to song lyrics. The Other Wiki's list of referenced songs reaches well into double figures. In recent professional performances, on the journey to Wembley Stadium, Pop/Buddy flies his motorcycle through a projected animation that leads them through much of Queen's album covers, including "A Day at the Races," "A Night at the Opera," and "News of the World". | |

Musicalis Interruptus: Killer Queen starts to sing the opening verse Don't Stop Me Now to celebrate the defeat of The Bohemians, when she is interrupted by Commander Khashoggi, who informs her that Galileo & Scaramouche were able to escape. He, of course, pays the penalty. Averted just once in the London production on the sixth anniversary. The Killer Queen told Khashoggi that he'd been interrupting her for years and tonight she was going to finish the damn song. It was epic. Also on Freddie Mercury's "60th birthday" performance when McFly came onstage to sing Don't Stop Me Now. | |

Final Love Duet | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_e25ae563 | comment |
Final Love Duet: Subverted. Though Hammer to Fall is certainly the last duet between Galileo and Scaramouche, it serves the purpose of mocking the idea of them falling in love due to them currently being annoyed at each other. (Don't worry - they make up, obviously.) | |

No Man of Woman Born | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_e2ef7c20 | comment |
No Man of Woman Born: The prophecy says that the musical instruments are buried in "living rock", and that a "bright, bright star" will show the way. Globalsoft assumes that "living rock" is some kind of physical rock (hence their decision to pulverize all the rocks on the planet) and that the "bright, bright star" is some new star in the sky. Actually, "bright, bright star" refers to a Freddie Mercury statue , and "living rock" refers to rock music. | |

The Hero | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_e49686 | comment |
Galileo Figaro: The central character of the musical; a Dreamer who hears strange words in his head. The character's name is a reference to the lyrics in the Queen song "Bohemian Rhapsody". Believed to be a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury, though this is debatable. | |

Bad to the Bone | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_eda3ba | comment |
Bad to the Bone: While arguably all the songs could stand for this, the two stand outs are the Brighton Rock and Tie Your Mother Down instrumentals. | |

Distant Duet | |
| We Will Rock You (Theatre) / int_fa74c41c | comment |
Distant Duet: The 2022 version of Don't Stop Me Now. This time Killer Queen gets to sing the entire song without interruptions as she sings about her plans coming to fruition, and Scaramouche distantly joins her while gleefully ignoring Galileo's insistence that the journey is too dangerous for her. | |
