In the Future Globalisation is Complete

Opening in May 2002, We Will Rock You is the futuristic musical written by Ben Elton, featuring the hits of rock giants Queen. Set on the 'Planet Mall', formerly known as Earth, the population is stifling under the rigid control of the Globalsoft Corporation. Musical instruments are forbidden, youth culture is dead, and rock music has become the stuff of legend. Underneath the cities a resistance movement is growing. The Bohemians believe in a golden age that can be restored by the hidden axe of a great guitar god.
