WE WILL ROCK YOU at Theatre Alliance of Winston Salem

We Will Rock You is a high-energy rock musical unlike any other. Created by Queen, the legendary rock band, it utilizes the vast catalog of Queen's hits, weaving them into a futuristic story. Ben Elton crafted the book, or script, resulting in a show packed with humor, audience participation, and of course, rock and roll royalty. The musical premiered in London's West End in 2002 and has enjoyed worldwide success.

Set in a dystopian future where all music is banned, the story follows a group of Bohemians who fight to bring rock and roll back to the world. They defy the Killer Queen, a ruthless leader who controls all information and entertainment through her corporation, and fight to preserve the power of music. The musical features iconic Queen anthems like "We Will Rock You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "We Are the Champions," all integrated seamlessly into the narrative, creating a thrilling rock concert experience.
