QUEEN Musical 'We Will Rock You' To Launch North American Tour In September

August 14, 2019

With the recent Oscar-winning film "Bohemian Rhapsody", the music of QUEEN is more popular than ever. In 2002, many of those hits were compiled into a rock musical experience, "We Will Rock You", which will be hitting the road once again for a North American tour starting September 3 in Winnipeg, Canada.

Produced by Annerin Theatricals in Alberta, Canada, "We Will Rock You" will be offering a VIP package at each stop, which include cast member meet and greets, exclusive merchandise, and much more. Tickets are on sale now.

While "We Will Rock You" is a quirky, eccentric and heartfelt story of outsiders, it's also a creative cautionary tale for the cyberage. It follows two revolutionaries, Galileo and Scaramouche, on a quest to save rock 'n' roll in a post-apocalyptic world where there are no musical instruments and rock 'n' roll has died. Galileo and Scaramouche will join a small group of societal outcasts, the Bohemians, as they fight to take back the iPlanet from the all-powerful Globalsoft, led by the Killer Queen. They will fight for freedom, individuality and the rebirth of rock and roll.

Since 2002 over 16 million theatergoers in 19 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of QUEEN with a book by Ben Elton ("The Young Ones", "Blackadder", "Popcorn"). Elton fashioned this futuristic story around more than 24 of QUEEN's biggest hit songs, including "We Are The Champions", "Radio Ga Ga", "I Want To Break Free", "Somebody To Love", "Killer Queen", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Under Pressure", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Another One Bites The Dust" and, of course, "We Will Rock You".

"We Will Rock You" reflects the scale and spectacle that marked QUEEN's live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. With QUEEN's Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors and "a band without parallel in the theater" behind the cast, the audience can expect "We Will Rock You" to rock as fiercely as the best of QUEEN's concerts.

"Annerin is proud to be able to produce 'We Will Rock You', and we are obviously lucky with our timing," says Jeff Parry, president of Annerin Theatricals. "This is a show I have wanted to produce since I first saw it in London. My vision was to be able to produce it in such a way that it plays in soft-seaters as well as cut-down arenas. I thought that QUEEN's musical was for everyone and not just the typical Broadway crowd, therefore we're producing it in a way that can accommodate most buildings and audiences that want to experience the music of QUEEN in a uniquely theatrical manner."
