2025 Show
Get ready for something BIG!
Alexandra Musical Society is bringing an iconic musical to the stage from 27th September to 3rd October!
Get ready to rock to a spectacular musical by Queen and Ben Elton,
“We Will Rock You!”
This show is currently in Production Tickets will be on Sale soon
Since 2002 over 16 million theatregoers in 28 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, Popcorn).
Elton fashioned this hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen’s biggest hit songs including We Are The Champions, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Don’t Stop Me Now, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and of course, We Will Rock You.
The musical takes place in a future age on a planet once called Earth that is now controlled by a mighty corporation...rock music is unheard and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance-an alliance of rebel Bohemians.
(Please note this show contains Adult Themes - Parental Guidance is recommended).
Produced by Alexandra Musical Society - (with permission from David Spicer Productions).
Direction by Matt van den Yssel ,
