Your guide to events in Nelson, New Zealand
Wednesday 10th-Friday 19th April 2024
Presented by Nelson Youth Theatre Company.
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 of and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance – an alliance of rebel Bohemians.
