Songs of Queen will fill Kyneton’s Bluestone Theatre when We Will Rock You shows this November.
Kyneton Theatre Company promises another stand-out show on the back of the popular Mamma Mia in March.
“We Will Rock You is based on Queen songs you’ve known for so long that they’re kind of embedded in your soul,” said Lucy Watson, who plays Scaramouche.
“It’s going to be really fun and have a lot of high energy.”
The show is set 300 years in the future where musical instruments and composers are forbidden, and rock music is all but unknown.
It tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and fashion, and live music in a world where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same.
Expect steam-punk costumes and crimped hair alongside all the Queen songs you know and love, complete with a live stage band.
The show was cast in July with rehearsals now ramping up as the November dates approach.
Making magic behind the scenes are director and choreographer Melanya Burlak, assistant director Olivia Kelly and musical director Catherine Ridgeway.
The show will be held at Kyneton’s Bluestone Theatre, Hutton Street, on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from November 4-27. The following times are showing: Friday nights at 8pm, Saturday matinees at 2pm, Saturday nights at 8pm, and Sunday matinees at 2pm.
Tickets are: adults $35, concession $28. Bookings via Trybooking.
