London: We Will Rock You will not close on the previously announced date of October 7th. Producers have announced that the Queen musical has extended its booking period through April 2007.
Producer Phil McIntyre said in a statement, "The fact is, the show has proved such a continuing draw with both the home market and visitors to London, that it became obvious that a move this year would be premature. Besides which, the theatre owners very much wanted us to stay. In the end, they, and the public, made the decision for us."
We Will Rock You will mark its four year anniversary at the Dominion Theatre on May 11th. Productions in Johannesburg, Zurich, Japan, and a U.K tour are planned.
In We Will Rock You the songs of Queen are used to tell the story of a future where kids watch the same movies wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe happy, Ga Ga world. Unless your a rebel. Unless you want rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The company computers generate the tunes and everyone downloads them. But resistance is growing. Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist.
