7Here’s what we think: Review by Headout
The famous rock musical We Will Rock You is playing at London Coliseum. Despite being 21 years old the musical celebrating Queen's greatest hits has never sounded and looked fresher thanks to an incredible cast. On paper, it sounds too conflicting to smash together Queen’s rock hits and a musical format. Don’t be put off though because it works. I was sceptical that it would seem like a tribute band but this was not the case. It is a full-on production from start to finish that magically seems to run parallel with Queen’s legacy but does not get too close and avoids becoming a tribute show. The storyline is set in the future and is very ‘self-mocking’. If I am honest the storyline is not what makes this musical great, you could be unaware of the story and still have a great evening thanks to the music and some of the jokes in between the songs. It’s a funny, light-hearted show and if you are expecting this when you go into the theatre you’ll have a fabulous night.

Bea Maynard,
London Theatre4/5
"We Will Rock You: That’s the show's title, the cast's promise. And, they do nothing less. Twenty years after this futuristic masterpiece took to the stage, it continues to wow the crowds in this spectacular production, that is simply magnifico in some places and slightly gaga in others."
Daz Gale,
All That Dazzles3/5
"We Will Rock You may not be the smartest show in the world but it does have a lot going for it. While the book lets it down somewhat, it is salvaged by a truly incredible cast, some stunning moments and, obviously, that iconic Queen songbook. "
Alex Wood,
Whats On Stage3/5
“Let’s face it – no one is expecting We Will Rock You to provide a Pulitzer-winning script or genre-defining creative expertise. But if audiences are there for some Queen classics, sung by the cream of the MT crop, that’s exactly what they’re going to be getting.”

It was sooo wonderful! We're totally blown away. The trip to England was totally worth it. The atmosphere was great. Young and old alike were dancing and singing along!

It was a concert that felt as if the four of them were right there in front of us. The atmosphere in the hall was great, too. During “Dancing Queen,” we all danced and sang along.

From the moment we were welcomed to the theatre, the staff were friendly and smiley. This feels so rare nowadays and I commented to my husband how friendly everyone seemed.
There were boosters for children ready at the sides- it wasn't a faff and this just made it feel calm and organised.
The show itself was spectacular. The perfect length for little ones (mine was 4). I thought the cast were exceptional. I loved how they personified the book characters with inside jokes for adults and children. It had the right amount of interaction- it didn't feel like a panto but kept the children entertained just when they may have started to get restless.
My whole family loved this show and we will definitely look out for more by the company in the future- thank you!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. The actors embodied their characters fully, we were engaged from start to finish. The music, singing ans stage setting were phenomenal we left the theater feeling like we had just been to Hadestown. Excellent performance BRAVO!!!

The performance was really made astonishing by the use of light to illuminate certain characters in the play, creating dynamic shots between characters which helped to really set the emotional atmosphere. Furthermore, the lighting helped accentuate the impact of certain scenes making it a poignant and powerful tool for highlighting the importance of particular events.

I had been so excited to see the full version of this play as I had only seen the condensed versions, and it did not disappoint. So happy I got to see it before they change this to the condensed version.

Amazing high quality dancing and choreographys. There was a lot of interaction with the public and the boys made sure every single person had the time of their lives by giving (almost) everyone some personal attention. Very sweet dancers who love to have a little chat with you aswell when they pick you for a dance. The entire show is incredibly put together and it was not only very sexy and impressive to watch, they also included some comedy which made it even better. Definitely a night to never forget!

Wicked was absolutely magical! 💚 Incredible performances, breathtaking vocals, stunning visuals, and an unforgettable atmosphere. *Defying Gravity* gave me goosebumps—definitely one of the best West End shows I've ever seen! 🎭⭐️
