We Will Rock You Production

We Will Rock You Production.

Set in a dystopian future. A world where (extraordinary realistic) crumbling bricks, and creeping grey mists make a disturbing home for a human race under the thrall of evil. Evil in this case is badly manufactured music. Sinister. 

Will the kids be saved from tragic music and formulaic dance routines? 
The packed audience were on the edge of their seats..... Will the musical instruments be found? Will the vibe return? What even is the vibe? Will rock be the saviour the world?
Blasting away the The Gaga kids brilliantly choreographed opening scene, enters our hero, Galileo ~ played by Harrison Deas. Harrison really has it all, singing, acting, and playing guitar - this is the hero we both need AND deserve.... He meets his match in the glorious Scaramouche ~ Erin O'connor-Kelly. Scaramouche raised the roof finding somebody to love!

But our heroes soon run into trouble. This world allows no freedom of expression, or creativity. The Killer Queen, David Sokolowski and her Yuppie minions, headed up by the utterly terrifying Khashoggi, Emmanuel Saayeng, are soon on the scent of our heroes. 

David is a sassy, smooth, sophisticated psycho, with killer heels and Emmanuel his frankly hilarious sidekick. The Yuppie's, led by Jennifer Geslicki, were excellent as robotic back up.

Next we met the leaders of the Bohemians, the smouldering hot duo of Meat ~ Jessie McColm and Britney ~ Jamie Quirke. They want it all, and they certainly are on track.... Meat and Britney recognise Galileo as the saviour they have been waiting for. Down through the tunnels go the rebels, to the Heartbreak Hotel, to meet the magnificent Big Macca ~ Anna Duffy and the rebel crew.

Just as we are swept up by a crazy little thing called love, the Gaga Control Board find the rebels, Britney is killed and Galileo and Scaramouche barely escape with their lives. 

Act two

The theme is desperation, desperate Bohemian rebels, desperate broken heroes and a Killer Queen desperate to regain total control. 

The rebels are brainwashed, and the last hope are our heroes, but they are busy, making the audience laugh and having a massive singing rows with each other. 

But not all is well with the Killer Queen either. The heels get bigger....a full eight inches, as her anger explodes on a feeble Khashoggi. Failure is not an option. Another one bites the dust. 

Meanwhile our heroes have discovered the brainwashed Bohemians at the Severn Seas of Rye. Here we meet again the wonderfully wacky Pop the librarian ~ Seby Neagoe
, who holds the secret message, on a "cassett eeeee".

Rising from the depths of the geologically bizarre Lake Geneva comes a star, to point the way, to the place of champions. Looking suspiciously like a very cool maths teacher, Freddie Mercury rises from the depths, and the heroes realise they need to go to the place of champions aka Wembley! 

Explosive singing breaks the spell and with fireworks an instrument is revealed. With the strength of Galileo's singing plus the legendary guitar playing of Scaramouche, the power of rock returns to the world. Meat is reunited with her beloved Britney, Khashoggi goes hip, and the Killer Queen exits stage left. 
The Bohemian's have their rhapsody and the world is put to right. 

Every single member of the cast and crew of We Will Rock You, gave it their absolute all. The work that went into the play was clear, this triumph was no ordinary school musical, this was something very special. 

You made us laugh, you made us cry, you made us stomp. You made us wonder if we really were in a school hall. 

You ROCKED us.

We will rock you Interview

Interview with the 'We will rock you' cast members. 1) What has your role been in the show? What has this entailed? Jessie McColm :  I played the part of Meatloaf in the show, which consisted of a few lines and songs. Most of my scenes were in act one, and I also had my own solo.  Jamie Quirke:  I played Brit, one of the main roles!! It was full of lots of singing, dancing and acting. Harrison Deas:  I was the male lead in the show, Galileo Figaro. This meant that I had to take a leadership role as one of the oldest members of the cast. As well as setting an example, I also had to help the younger cast members feel comfortable acting, singing and dancing in front of people they didn't know, which meant developing relationships where they could come to me if they needed advice. 2) What's your favourite thing about the performance? Jessie : My favourite thing was hanging out and having fun with the other cast members, especially duri...
