We Will, We Will Rock You

We Will Rock You theatre breaks bring the sounds, spectacle and excitement of a big rock concert to one of the larger London theatres that looks just the part.
Going to a real rock concert usually involves a large amount of discomfort including queues for tickets, queues for entrance, and sometimes waiting for hours to see if the headline band will actually show up, only to be turned out into the cold night streets long after the last trains have left the station. The stage show of We Will Rock You after telling its not insignificant story woven through with great songs, recreates some of a rock concert atmosphere as it reaches several surging crescendos and eventually send the audience and fans exhausted but uplifted back out to Tottenham Court Road at around 10.15pm after nearly three hours of high quality entertainment.

We Will Rock You as Musical Theatre

Don’t get the idea that We Will Rock You is just some kind of tribute band cover performance though, this is a genuine piece of musical theatre, play written by Ben Elton with a real plot, songs that move the story forward, classic duets, lots of comedy, astonishing costumes and possibly the most technically advanced set changes and special effects in the West End.

Theatre Breaks to see We Will Rock You

Not quite your regular theatre weekend audience, dressed up for a meal and show, the Dominion Theatre fills with a mixture of musicals lovers, Queen fans on pilgrimage, theatre breaks regulars, Londoners who know a good night out, and even corporate entertainers. We Will Rock You Theatre Breaks are a good choice for couples and groups with varying tastes, perhaps especially those for whom classic musicals like The Sound Of Music or Oliver are just a little bit sugary. Talking of Oliver though, one of the Nancy finalists from I’d do anything Rachel Tucker found her way into We Will Rock You playing the part of “Meat” and her bubbly performance really shines through, stealing the show for much of the first act. Apparently she’s also understudy to Sabrina Aloueche and occasionally plays the lead female role of Scaramouche (see the Rachel Tucker blog.)
