We Will Rock You Still Rocks the Dominion Review by: Eric_schachter@palazzoinc.com, Jul 1, 2011 |
| We first saw the show in September 2007 and it was marvelous. On May 31, 2011, I came back to London this time with my 2 oldest teenage daughters from Colorado to see their first musical on the West End. Although much of the cast has changed, the entire production was even better this time around with an expanded score and storyline. The show runs now over 3 hours and it's funnier than ever and more captivating than before. The Dominion was ... read more sold out on a Tuesday night, and we had the incredible fortune and surprise of having both Brian May and Roger Taylor appearing on stage with the cast and present the audience it's Olivier Award. Brian also played lead guitar on the last few songs and thanked the all for supporting We Will Rock You and Queen for all these years. As I looked around the theatre, I saw an audience that stood, cheered, sang along, waved their arms throughout and it was emotional seeing people of all ages and walks of life taking this performance in. This is a fabulous show and I know that next time we're in London, we'll see it again. They added some very touching scenes about Freddie and their Wembley shows and one could not ask for much more for a night out with my girls. |

INTENSITY Review by: RODEONAV, Sep 29, 2009 |
We caught the show while in London on post cruise activities. We read the storyline prior to the musical so we were ready for everything that came our way. The music, ensemble, sets, costumes, story, acting, etc. were all superb. One word can describe this show INTENSITY - you are ROCKED like never before. The audience was enthralled at the end by Bohemian Rhapsody - a fitting end.
Only ... read more negative comment - the music sometimes overpowered the singing. Perhaps the producer should sit in the audience on occasion and relay instructions back to the sound mixing staff for correction!!! Otherwise - you will enjoy this production - Queen "We Will Rock You" - enough said |

Fantastic Music Review by: Doodles, Mar 10, 2008 |
| Fabulous music but wouldn't expect anything else, felt like a rock concert. Storyline was very weak and weird but music more than made up for it. |

WE WERE MORE THAN ROCKED!! Review by: ERIC, Oct 5, 2007 |
| After reading some so-so reviews we were not sure what to expect upon arriving for the 02 October performance. We were moved and astounded by the entire show. The ensemble cast acted and sang with much bravado. The humor was original and uncanny. Ben Elton and Brian May have created a marvelous and original musical that can be best described as Pete Townshend with a sense of humor. From the start to finish we were enthralled and glued to our ... read more seats. The theater is much larger than what we are used to seeing shows at and the special effects were perfect. After six plus years of being open, the entire cast was first rate. This is a tribute to Rock and Roll, not just Queen. And I think that Freddie Mercury is smiling down on this knowing that his legacy is well preserved by this show. Cheers to all. And for us, it was perfect way to end our 2-week Euro Holiday!! |

A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!!! Review by: pips, Sep 27, 2007 |
Hey people! you have to go see this show it was the best show I have ever seen! I love queen, and this show made me just love them even more! I loved everything about this show and I never once wondered what the time was! Hannah Jane Fox (although she's left now but I'm sure the new actress Jenna Lee James is good too!) was amaizing!! She was so funny, had me in stiches and her voice was awesome!
I loved the story too! It had ... read more everything you want in a musical, the music was amaizing, the actors were amaizing, it was very funny and had a bit of romance in there aswell!
Definitely wow factor! Highly recommended (unless obviously you don't like queen!). |

Best show i have ever seen Review by: jo, Sep 17, 2007 |
| The last time I saw this show as a family ages 6 to 70 years old. How fantastic it was all nine of us watched with awe it was brilliant. Vocally the cast was faultless, obviously the music is second to none as it was from the legendary QUEEN. This was the fifth time i have seen it and I would still watch it over and over given the opportunity. My kids still ask to go back and see it again. |

Awesome!!! Review by: Robo, Dec 28, 2006 |
This show will blow you away!
The comic amazing begging of the show with the spectacular effects realy sets the level for the rest of the evening with every Queen song sung to perfection. The story is good and can be easily followed unlike other shows. This is a must see and a show you will be able to see time and time again feeling amazed and happy at the end! |

Queen=Great, We Will Rock You=So-So Review by: Doc, Nov 7, 2006 |
| Music and singing were very good. Women's voices actually a lot better than the men. Glad I like Queen's music because the storyline, acting, and choreography were no better than a high school play. In all, an entertaining night, but I am glad that I only paid half-price. |

Queen Rocks! Review by: Eddieman, Sep 12, 2006 |
| For two years an office colleague has been driving me crazy by playing Queen all the time (and I mean constantly). The guy has every record they ever made (including the live versions), so when my girlfriend dragged me over to see the show I have to admit I was less than thrilled. But in the end I was surprised, the show was really good! The music was great, and the background story was also interesting. I actually had a great time. So for all ... read more you skeptics out there who think they know everything about Queen, go see it and you will not be disappointed. |

If you like Queen, you will love We Will Rock You Review by: bambi, Aug 30, 2006 |
If you like Queen, and this comes from someone who wouldn't count herself a fan, you will love We Will Rock You.
The Queen musical, with storyline by British comic writer Ben Elton, had everyone dancing in the aisles and begging for more
, this is an energetic and high-tech show. This is defently one of the best musicals I have ever been to. So different to all the rest at the end I can not belive that I wasn't at a concert. |
