We will fucking stupid Rock You

I went to see it, a friend got me a freebie. I like Queen. But this was just shocking, beyond-belief awful - so bad you may end up stifling hysterics throughout most of the performance. Imagine you sat down one night, pissed, and wrote a pantomime in half an hour. Then you woke up the next morning and removed anything resembling continuity. You just wrote We Will Rock You.

What I did to pass the time was find the most attractive dancing extra and watch her all night.
 
I have to go and see We Will Rock You for someone's birthday. I HATE Queen, HATE musicals and HATE Ben Elton but I am going to see it all because I am nice like that. Think Jesus and times it by twenty.

Aaaaaaaanyway, can you let me know how bad it is going to be and, also, if possible where I can get the cheapest tickets imaginable? I had a look on lastminute and it is still 20-60 quid! I was hoping to pay about a fiver or so.

By the end of the show, I guarantee...*guarantee*... you will be baying for a rousing encore of Bohemian Rhapsody.

And you will sing along to your hearts content...

Then deny all knowledge of the practise afterwards...

;)

Seriously, if that happens then I will send you a text message as soon as my first born son is born and you can come direct to the hospital to slaughter him.
 
what often goes unremarked upon is the truly heinous production design - specifically costumes / wigs / makeup, which looks like punk as imagined by a fifty five year old accountant in the mid eighties. it's all primary colours and pvc and ra-ra skirts and frightwigs. just so unsophisticated as to be an insult to anyone with an iota of design literacy. even you, sadken.:eek::p

On an unrelated matter, I suspect that Nigel Planer is now touring as Brian May, beneath a suitable crafted hair-piece, whilst the latter is watching the cosmos from a vantage point on Anita Dobson's forehead.
 
I remember when Neil from The Young Ones was being interviewed about being in it at the very beginning. You could hear in his voice he knew it was a stain on mankind's record of achievements.

It's cute that you think I have an iota of design literacy. I wish!
 
Was it even good when it first came out? Presumably the performers were better then?

That's when my Mum went, she said it was great, but then she would say anything even vaguely connected with anyone called Freddie or a Queen was fantastic, bless her.
 
Let's face it - if you go and see anything thinking "this will be shit and I'll have a shit time", it'll be shit, and you'll have a shit time.

And you'll deserve it.

Nah, not the case - I've been surprised by a load of stuff in the past but I just can't see any way it's possible for me to enjoy this shite.

You know you want it, ken. ;)
 
What the fuck fucking abomination is that? :eek: :eek: :eek:
Looks like a scooter mated with a Harley mated with a hairdryer and a Jessica Rabbit :mad:

I went to see it with my family. It was my Dad's birthday and the old scrote was really excited.

I actually like Queen but this was sooooo bad. The story is just ludicrous. It's full of little jokes that are so bad that it made feel a little bit sick. Every time they tell one of these jokes, they turn to the audience with really dense grins. And the audience fucking lapped it up. The whole show went down a storm with the assorted dads/Americans/Norwegian students.

Fucking diabolical and as usual for the west end, the interval drinks were a complete rip off. I hated every moment of it.
 
I love Musicals!
I like Queen!!
I hated this!!!

Watch the audience instead. Make up your own storyline around their lives. And get very very drunk first, but not in the Theatre bar.
