Waste Of Time

Stupid story, I have seen better plots on cartoons made for 3 year olds. If you are going to be inspired by the music of Queen skip this and listen to their music or go watch a good tribute band. The play was both annoying, insipid and boring. Even the music was not particularly well done.

Horrible

Thought it would be a rock band singing Queen music... Little did i know was a poorly put together KIDS BOP show of Queen music.. An embrassement to any real Queen fan. Walked out after just 30 minutes should not take anymore! Dont waste your money

Misleading Title - Too Little Queen In Queen Show

An excited group of 8 of us (adults ages 57 - 77) went to a comped performance in a Canadian Casino. Thanks God it was free! All but one of us mostly disliked it, feeling largely mislead by the title (we should have read reviews first!) as we believed this would be a show chock full of Queen songs done in true Queen fashion. Speaking now for myself, I was bored, confused, upset and contemplated walking out especially each time it appeared that the cast may FINALLY belt out an actual Queen song, and instead continued on with bad jokes, meaningless and juvenile drivel, poor acting, and chopped up bits of both Queen and sometimes unrecognizable songs by ??? that only served to whet the appetite and repeatedly lead to chagrin and disappointment. Only in the last 10 minutes did the actually talented cast sing the powerful Bohemian Rhapsody from start to finish and true to form (which is the only reason I gave this review 2 and not 1 star). I was not the only one of the 8 of us who lamented that if only they had done this throughout the performance, we would have actually LIKED and maybe even loved the show. So sad for us and the cast who when not singing as such, are not nearly as talented and are silly and superflous as pseudo actors of a frivolous plot....

Be Warned!

My school are doing it and there is a lot of sexual references and swearing so I wouldn't taken children under 13 to it. It can be sort of funny but it doesn't appeal to Queen fans as it wrecks the songs and is just the story of a yellow submarine according to my parents. Be warned- we will rock you may not appeal to some!

Entertaining

heard a lot of bad reviews, people walking out on the show before the play finished. Well we took a chance and went anyway, well we were very happy we did. Very entertaining, was funny and the actress's/actor's voices were excellent. Anyway we enjoyed the show, its worth attending....

Open Your Mind And Be Entertained

The cast and music was superb. Had an amazing evening and was thoroughly entertained. Standing ovation from the audience and well deserved. You must watch the show with an open mind. It is comedy and light hearted fun and if you love Queen's music, you will love it.

Worst Show I've Ever Seen

Notice how the positive reviews have broken English and don't sound like a real person wrote them? No real person enjoyed this show. I really think someone paid for those reviews. That's a thing that happens now.

"We Will Rock You" the musical's worst offender is the story. It's a juvemille comedy filled with really bad puns. Imagine a musical version of "Dumb & Dumber" filled with dad jokes. The acting is hard to criticize. It came off like an amateur school production, but maybe they're really good actors bringing a terrible script to life in the best way possible.

Freddie Mercury leaves about the hardest shoes to fill in vocalist history. That said, I've heard him honored better at drunken karaoke nights. They actors are largely broadway style singers without the vocal range to sing rock anthems. At best classic Queen songs sound like showtunes. At worst some of the songs get really massacred. Between poorly re-written lyrics and weak vocalists unable to compete with the band it turns into a farce pretty quickly.

In the last 10 minutes of the show a desperate attempt is made to deliver the concert-style rock homage to Queen that you probably expected when you bought the tickets. It falls short. Some of the actors just don't have the vocal chops and no amount of flashing lights can mask that. The show is flawed on a material level. Instead of honoring Queen it leaves you with the feeling of cheap exploitation. The only thing you'll hear at this show is Radio Ga Ga.

Worst Performance Ever Waist Of Your Money And Time Don't Go

The most awful performance i ever see .. I never leave in middle, but this time i wanted to run away after 10 min of beggining.

You just don't believe how bad are jokes , flat music, and acting what a shame.

Very sad to say but its waist of my money and my time. Who wrote this???

With music and every one know - i bet it was possible to made something much better then this. And i still don't believe that its playing and staying on stage after such bad review

. Don't go, watch a movie at home, spend money any where else..

Enjoy your evening in bar, restaurant or just good book in hand at home,

Truly yours Ro..

Fantastic, Great & Funny

Just returned from a fantastic fun and great show. I did not know what to expect from the story line but, was not disappointed and the excellent singing, acting and the orchestra was excellent. Will certainly be booking again. Thank you Ben Elton & Queen.
