WE WILL ROCK YOU, the ultimate rock musical featuring 24 of Queen's timeless hits, is making its long-awaited debut in Wellington in 2024!

With a side-splitting script by the talented Ben Elton, WE WILL ROCK YOU is set to capture the grandeur and spectacle of Queen's iconic live performances.

Presented by the Capital Theatre Trust and G & T Productions, the same dynamic duo that brought you the unforgettable Wicked and last year's Les Misérables, this production promises a world-class theatrical experience.

Endorsed by Queen's very own Roger Taylor and Brian May, this sensational show will make its grand entrance at the St James Theatre, Wellington, on August 15th, running through September 1st.

WE WILL ROCK YOU first took the stage at London's Dominion Theatre in 2002, captivating an astonishing six million people over a staggering 4,600 performances during its remarkable 12-year run. It's a record-breaking hit, becoming one of the most successful musicals in West End history, reigning as the longest-running show at the Dominion by a whopping nine-year margin. Its global appeal reached a staggering 20 million audience members across 28 countries!

This epic production narrates a future world without musical instruments, where a band of rebellious souls known as the Bohemians stands up against the mighty Globalsoft company and its formidable leader, the Killer Queen. Their battle is for freedom, individuality, and the revival of the era of rock. Join Scaramouche and Galileo, two outsiders who refuse to conform to the drab reality, as they unite with the Bohemians on a quest for the boundless power of freedom, love, and rock!

Sandy Brewer, Chairperson of the Capital Theatre Trust, shares her excitement: "We are absolutely thrilled to bring this world-class production back to the St James. Wellington audiences have shown us incredible support, and we're ready to rock it once more!"

Featuring a mind-blowing set and mesmerizing costumes, this Wellington production will be under the expert direction of David Adkins, who previously wowed audiences with the critically acclaimed Kinky Boots in Auckland and Wellington.
