Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Jan. 06 2010, 19:41 Just been to see this tonight. Bloody fantastic! I'd read some negative reviews and I can understand where they are coming from regarding plot and dialogue. But really, if you like Queens music and can cope with Ben Eltons's sense of humour, this is a great experience. The band and cast vocals were superb (Edinburgh playhouse touring production). Anyone else seen it? It has been around for quite a few years! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

Years ago I read the plot and thought it was terrible... still think it is, but last summer I was in London and wanted to see a musical, and the only tickets I found were those for WWRY... ...I had a WONDERFUL time!!!! Not only the show was funny and energetic, but I appreciated A LOT that they were able to maintain Queen's sense of humor throughout the performance ...and I broke into uncontrollable tears on "No-One But You".... -------------- The last 80 seconds of 'Amarok' are one of the reasons for being happy to live in this planet.

Yes, the plot was a little weak but all the things mentioned above made up for it. -------------- "Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." - Douglas Adams Back to top

Just reading the first paragraphs of the plot synopsis left me permanently scarred.

I think that some better storyline might have been built around those songs, but believe me, it's completely respectful towards Queen (Brian and Roger produced the show) and really really humorous! -------------- The last 80 seconds of 'Amarok' are one of the reasons for being happy to live in this planet.
