We Will Rock You: The BohemiansBook We Will Rock You: The Bohemians tickets  A new musical by Brian May and Ben Elton, featuring over 30 Queen songs.
A musical by Ben Elton, and incorporating the music of Queen. Set in a future where all music is manufactured dross, a band of outlaws: lovers of 'real music', do battle to try and restore the true music to the people.
The time is the future, in a place that was once called Earth. Globalisation is complete. Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe, happy Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and the kids download them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands. But resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody.
Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone.
Is the one who calls himself Galileo that man? A crazy rebel with a heart of solid rock who will draw the guitar from the stone and play the ancient anthems.
But the Ga Ga Cops are also looking for Galileo and if they get him first they will surely drag him before the Killer Queen and consign him to oblivion across the Seven Seas of Rye. Who is Galileo? Where is the Hairy One's lost axe? Where is the place of living rock?
It features 31 of Queen's greatest songs, including Killer Queen, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are The Champions, It's A Kind Of Magic, Radio Ga Ga, Somebody To Love, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You.
