Synopsis

WE WILL ROCK YOU is a high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled musical featuring more than 20 iconic Queen hits, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions,” “Somebody to Love,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and of course, “We Will Rock You.” Set in a post-apocalyptic future where individuality has been outlawed and music is controlled by algorithms, the story follows two young revolutionaries who dare to defy the system to save rock ‘n’ roll.

This fist-pumping, foot-stomping anthem to freedom and self-expression is a musical for our time—unapologetically bold and filled with the timeless power of Queen’s legendary music. With over 7 million fans rocked in its original 12-year West End run, WE WILL ROCK YOU made history as the longest-running show at London’s Dominion Theatre. A global phenomenon, WWRY has been performed in 28 countries and seen by more than 16 million people worldwide. This explosive, rockin’ spectacle is a celebration of the power of music and individuality that will leave audiences cheering for more.

WE WILL ROCK YOU Young@Part® is the authorised 60-minute edition of the West End musical for primary and secondary schools, as well as youth theatres. The Young@Part® musicals are carefully crafted through a series of workshops with industry professionals and young performers. Song keys are adjusted where necessary, and songs and scenes are edited for time and content, all while preserving the essence of the original West End production.

Each Young@Part® title includes Performance Tracks, Guide Vocal Tracks, a Director’s Guide, 30 Student Scripts, and more, all available with an affordable Performance Licence package.
