Not a show for anyone who like's Queen's music - very disappointing, couldn't believe how they changed the songs. I didn't recognise some songs till the chorus. Left at the interval.

I've been disappointed by lots of musicals i've seen but We Will Rock You is something else! It really is amazing. No, it doesn't have an amazing storyline but it really doesn't matter. To be honest most musicals have lame storylines. The music is fantastic, the singing is truly amazing and blew me away. Some may say it was too loud but with a title like 'We Will Rock You' what do you expect? I would watch it again tomorrow and the day after that if i could.

Thank heavens for the interval. It gave us an oppotunity to leave the theatre. I've seen better school plays.

There is no doubting Queen's songs are classic and I was really looking forward to seeing the musical. What a waste of time and money. Reading the other reviews, I must have gone on a bad night. The acting was terrible, shouting is not singing and most of the cast acted that they couldn't be bothered or just there part time from 6th form drama studies. The sets were lazy and the story was lame. How has this show ran for 6 years and made so much money? GO SEE SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!!!!!

So if you want a decent plot - go see Shakespeare, not We Will Rock You! The musical numbers are superb (and I'm not a particular fan of Queen's music but can appreciate it for what it is). Yes the script is lame and the jokes are worse but does it really matter - in this instance - not at all.
To see the music continue to live on and be interpreted and performed so well is a privilege and I really enjoyed it.

Where do I start. It's risible. The limitations of the English language mean it is not sufficiently equipped to describe how bad this is. I've been to school assemblies that have better scripts. Lets take a few Queen songs and shoehorn as many as possible into 2.5 hours (which unfortunately I will never get back) with a plot that would not fill the back of a postage stamp and with "gags" that were rejected from the local sixth forms "worst gags we can come up with" competition. Let's make the c ...

Meat loaf sings only the good die young and she is out of this world - the whole show is amazing. We went to the sixth anniversary and it blew us away - great to see Brain May on stage!

The whole story and setting with crew, voices, and instruments, makes this Musical a spectacular, rocking experience.
Great dancers, Great songs, and wonderful performence.

This is not a musical. Its a Queen tribute concert wrapped around a utterly rubbish storyline, with tasteless tounge in cheek innuendos and jokes.
After seeing Blood Brothers in the matinee performance, This show was just no comparison.
It is such a shame like talent who played the lead was squandered by such a sucky script.
Want to see a musical;
I recommend Les Mis, Wicked, Hairspray and Blood Brothers as a main point of call! Watch out for Little Mermaid and West Side Story coming soon! ...

I wouldn't go to see We Will Rock You if I was you! If you like the music then listen to their cd's but you will be in pain if you spend time watching this pathetic story!

The worst musical I've ever seen. The jokes are for simpletons and the plot is mind-numbingly boring and ridiculous. Spend your money on absolutely anything else. The only thing good about it, obviously, was the music, but even then sometimes it was ruined by the annoying actors and irrelevance to the "plot." Sucked.

The problem with We Will Rock You show is that it seems to have been created by grumpy old men who dont like the music the children like. Its like pick a CD from your collection, and make a story around it. The plotline in a musical should stand up on its own without the songs., and The plot is appalling. People say " I Love the songs...ok, If you like queen, go to see a Queen tribute act. I love Queen, but this show put me off their music.
Its good that the shoe gets people into the theatre, ...

On the whole We Will Rock You is an enjoyable show but stop and think about any of it for 5 seconds and the whole plot just comes apart. I felt that it just didn't have impact.
I won't spoil any plot points but it the ending seems very contrived and comes so quickly it takes a moment to realise that the show is over.
There are two really good scenes (both involving the evil commander) and I feel if the bad guys and girls were just a little more rounded and less pantomime the whole show would ...

It was just horrible. My sons, 20 and 13, were bored to tears and couldn't believe how bad it was. I thought my wife was going to leave me. I thought I was going to leave me. We should have just left the theatre.
