Queen and Ben Elton’s smash hit musical We Will Rock You is back for 2022 to celebrate its 20th anniversary in theatres across the UK.
Beginning in Portsmouth at the Kings Theatre on 7th February 2022, the tour will then play 27 venues, including Cardiff’s Wales Millennium Centre, before culminating at Manchester‘s Palace Theatre on 5th September.
The musical has seen success in theatres and arenas around the world since it first premiered in London nearly 20 years ago at the Dominion Theatre. The original writer and stand-up comedian, Ben Elton will be back directing with the new cast.
Ben Elton stated: “I can hardly believe it’s been 20 years since We Will Rock You premiered in London. Or that much of what we thought was science fiction in the script back then has turned into science fact! I guess Queen were always ahead of the game! I’ve directed this show all over the world and I can’t wait to bring it home to the UK with a brand new production and a fabulous cast of young Bohemians, most of whom were rocking in their cradles when this adventure first began.”
The musical featuring 24 of Queen’s greatest hits includes a cast featuring Ian McIntosh play Galileo, Elena Skye as Scaramouche, Jenny O’Leary as Killer Queen and Adam Strong as Khashoggi. Together with Michael Mckell as Buddy, Martina Ciabatti Mennell as Oz, David Michael Johnson as Brit, and an Ensemble including Laura Bird, Kate Leiper, Joanne Harper, Anna Davey, Edward Leigh, Spin as well as others.
We Will Rock You will play Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff from April 4 – 16 2022.
