The show, which is produced by Robert De Niro's Tribeca Theatrical Productions, features such Queen classics as 'We Are the Champions,' 'Another One Bites the Dust' and, of course, 'We Will Rock You'.
The London version has already grossed $50 million dollars and boasts nearly 600 sold-out performances. The Las Vegas production is scheduled to open at Paris Las Vegas with preview shows in August and a September premiere.
'We Will Rock You' uses the music of Queen to paint a futuristic world in which personal liberties -- and musical instruments -- are virtually non-existent.
The creative gurus behind the high-concept production are none other than multi-hyphenate Ben Elton, who won an Olivier (the Brit equivalent of a Tony) for his West End show 'Popcorn,' and Mark Fisher, who has been responsible for some of the biggest rock concerts ever staged, including those for the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, U2 and two Super Bowl halftime shows.
Famed comedian and writer Ben Elton transforms the music of Queen into a Rockstravaganza nightly! London’s Smash-Hit Musical comedy is appearing for the first time in the United States and only at Paris Las Vegas.
They say rock 'n' roll will never die. In "We Will Rock You"—the musical based on the songs of Queen—it may be mankind's last hope to truly live. The smash-hit "Rockstravaganza" makes its United States debut with a run at Paris' Le Théâtre Des Arts.
Three-hundred years in the future, the world has succumbed to globalization. On every continent, people share the same thoughts, the same experiences. Earth is now Planet Mall. Conformity rules. Musical instruments are banned.
In Bohemia, hope grows from the legend of a mighty axe left by a guitar god, buried somewhere deep in rock.
Seeking a hero who can find this instrument of change and draw it from the stone, the Bohemians turn to Galileo, a little silhouette of a man who may be the one to lead a rebellion against the worldwide shadow of corporate domination.
Set to 25 of Queen's epic hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Are The Champions," "Another One Bites the Dust," and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "We Will Rock You" follows this battle of the individual against the system.
