We Will Rock You is a coming-of-age story following two radicals, Galileo and Scaramouche, as they work with a group of outcasts named the Bohemians to save rock n’ roll music and take back the iPlanet. They join forces in a battle against Globalsoft, a group led by Killer Queen. Although they’re currently living in a world without musical instruments and rock n’ roll, Galileo, Scaramouche and the Bohemians are on a mission to gain freedom and revive rock music once and for all.
The musical debuted in May 2002 at the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End and has entertained over 16 million fans in 19 countries. Written by Ben Elton, We Will Rock You treats theatergoers to 24 songs by the British rock band, Queen, including “We Are the Champions,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and obviously “We Will Rock You.”

After the success of the 2018 film “Bohemian Rhapsody” based on the band’s late lead singer Freddie Mercury, the musical is sure to provide fans with more to love about Queen as a whole. In the words of Mercury, “A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.” Helping to make the ‘theatrical event’ a can’t-miss show are Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor, who are serving as music supervisors for the musical.
To experience this amazing musical, fans can purchase tickets from the Rialto website, visit the box office or call (800) 745-3000. Tickets range in price from $46.50 to $73.50 plus tax and fees. We Will Rock You is presented by the Rialto Square Theatre and VenuWorks.
