Box 515 Seven Hills 1730 [email protected] ABOUT THE SHOW: 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 and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance-an alliance of rebel Bohemians.

  • We Will Rock You”
    “We Will Rock You” By Queen and Ben Elton At the Hippodrome Theatre through October 20 By Princess Appau WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS When one walks into the Hippodrome Theatre to view “We Will Rock You,” the common expectation is a compilation of classic rock and roll music held together by a simple plot. This jukebox musical, however, surpasses those expectations by entwining a powerful plot with clever updating of the original 2002 musical by Queen and Ben Elton. The playwright Elton has surrounded Queen’s songs with a plot that highlights the familiar conflict of our era: youths being sycophants to technology. This comic method is not only the key to the show’s success but also the antidote to any fear that the future could become this. The futuristic storyline is connected to many of Queen’s lyrics that foreshadow the youthful infatuation with technology and the monotonous lifestyle that results. This approach is emphasized by the use of a projector displaying programmed visuals of a futuristic setting throughout the show. The opening scene transitions into the Queen song “Radio Gaga,” which further affirms this theme. The scene includes a large projection of hundreds of youth, clones to the cast performing on stage. The human cast and virtual cast are clothed alike in identical white tops and shorts or skirts; they sing and dance in sublime unison, defining the setting of the show and foreshadowing the plot. Unlike most jukebox musicals the plot is not a biographical story of the performers whose music is featured. “We Will Rock You” is set 300 years in the future on the iPlanet when individuality and creativity are shunned and conformity reigns.

  • Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke Mcghee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen
    Queen Group 3: Jennifer Day, Xander Jarnow, Duke McGhee, Shelby Stehn, Adam Vandenhouten, Tyler Kallevig Reasons Why We Chose Queen: There are a lot of reasons that we, as a group, decided to do our project on Queen. Queen is an extremely well-known band across multiple generations, so it is an artist that we can talk to almost anyone anywhere about. Additionally, they were an influence to many artists after them. Finally, they released over 15 albums that showed a very impressive musical range and an awe-inspiring amount of talent. Queen: Overview Queen was one of the most popular and successful rock groups during the 1970s and 80s, with a very unique, experimental style and sound, Queen has remained one of the best selling artists of all time. The band began its formation in 1967, when the guitarist Brian May and the drummer Roger Taylor joined with Tim Staffell to form a rock group named Smile. When Tim Staffell left the group, May and Taylor joined forces with Freddie Mercury and a bass player named John Deacon, resulting in the core version of the band in 1970. Queen was famous for bright, glam, “pomp-rock” and put on energetic shows. Freddie Mercury in particular was known for his flamboyant style. Their sound was a very produced and incorporated elements of glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and harmony. After the tragic death of Freddie Mercury the band added new members and continued performing Even today their songs remain popular, for example, “We Are the Champions,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and “We Will Rock You” are still played often.

  • Copy of EPQ: Formal Essay
    How Queer Identities Have Progressed Within the Music Industry History of queer identity within the music industry The recent trend towards more visibility in the music industry is enigmatic of a larger trend as the pride movement gained momentum. The Stonewall Riots of 1969 marked a turning point in queer identity, demanding rights and protection against police brutality - paticularly towards gay men and trans women of colour. The Stonewall Riots launched queer identity into the public mainstream, and for the first time queer idenity was not only legalised in the UK but also visible. This started in the rock scene of the 1970s, a genre characterised by it’s defiance of the mainstream. Naturally in such a unbashidely indivalidsitic environment like rock, queer idenity flourished, although still when it reached mainstream it had to be censored behind metaphors and slights of hand. The most famous example of rock’s queer sexuality was Queen, fronted by queer icon Freddie Mercury, although the full extent of his queer idenitity within his music is often debated. One popular interpretation of Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen’s three part rock ballad, is that it’s a song about a gay or queer man coming out, being rejected, and then coming into his own – not proud in spite of their sexuality, but because of it. As comedian Guy Branum wrote in his memoir My Life As a Goddess, later posted to pitchfork in 2018, “Bohemian Rhapsody is a breakup song for your mum,”1 in an article when he links his own fraught coming out with his parents to the murder depicted in the song.

Focusing on the popularity and marketing of sports rock and hypermasculinized sports anthems by gay icons Queen, the Village People and Pet Shop Boys, this article theorizes the often paradoxical social and sexual codes engendered by the relationship of sports and popular music. The relationship between sports and popular music forms an important, although little understood nexus of cultural production. The popular reception of British invasion bands and their effeminized hair styles and attention to fashion challenged notions of physical integrity on the basis on gender that had previously underpinned both sports and music. The intersection of these two cultural spheres has often been regarded as dichotomous and tense.
