We Will Rock You, the smash hit musical based on the songs of supergroup Queen is to return to London next year to perform a limited season at the London Coliseum from June 2nd to August 26th.
The dystopian musical is set in a future global corporate world, and follows a band of free-spirited bohemians as they rise up and take a stand against the enemy and its boss, the Killer Queen. We Will Rock You is set to the iconic back catalogue of hits from Queen’s discography, including “No One But You,” “Killer Queen” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Radio Gaga”.
We Will Rock You premiered in London in 2002 at the Dominion Theatre, featuring Kerry Ellis as Meat and Sharon D. Clarke as the Killer Queen and ran in the West End for 12 years playing 4,600 performances at the venue.
Casting for the 2023 production of We Will Rock You in London at the London Coliseum will be announced at a later date.
Booking & Theatre Info For We Will Rock You
The London Coliseum is a large theatre located in St Martin’s Lane close to Trafalgar Square and has a capacity of 2263 seats on four levels of seating.
The best seats in the theatre can be found in the centre of the Stalls as unlike many opera houses, the sound within the auditorium does not improve in the higher tiers, so seats in the Stalls are recommended in terms of both sight and sound. The Stalls also offers access to the Veuve Cliquot champagne bar for a luxury interval refreshment. For patrons who prefer to look down from an elevated position, the front of the Dress Circle offers a spectacular cinematic view of the stage.
The theatre regularly offers various schemes (including ‘day tickets’) to ensure that cheap tickets to We Will Rock You should be available for most performances, particularly in the Dress and Upper Circle sections. The front-side seats in each section are usually better value for money than rear-central seats, as views in these sections can be slightly obstructed from overhangs from the various circles.
