WE WILL ROCK YOU - Bologna

WE WILL ROCK YOU is one of the most performed and loved musical shows in the world. Born from the irreverent pen of Ben Elton , in collaboration with Roger Taylor and Brian May of the legendary Queen , this extraordinary musical, to be considered a true Rock opera, has conquered the international scene with its overwhelming energy, its universal message and, above all, with the timeless power of the songs of the British band. After the resounding success of the past Italian stages, We Will Rock You returns more powerful than ever with a new tour destined to set the theaters of our country on fire, bringing back to the stage the iconic songs of Queen, sung in the original language and played strictly live .

A show that has become a cult, capable of overwhelming and involving the audience from the first note, thanks to an explosive selection of legendary songs that tell the story of a group of young people committed to the search for their own freedom of expression in a world where conformity is the law and tastes, dreams, even music, are imposed from above.

These young people, very different from each other, but united by the desire for change, find the strength to rebel, to band together and to give life to a collective battle to recover their voice and imagine a freer, more human future. And it is precisely on the notes of Queen that the young rebels, the Bohemians, write their revolution. If the future is not written, then the future belongs to those who dare to dream it.

An epic and ever-present tale, in which themes of freedom, identity, courage, dreams and rebellion are intertwined, accompanied by a biting irony and a captivating and engaging visual language.

This new version is not a simple replica: as per tradition, the script is completely updated to reflect the languages, references and challenges of our present. Each edition is unique, current and alive just like the music that animates it: the immortal songs of Queen.

We Will Rock You is a timeless story, a personal and collective journey. A journey of self-discovery, an awakening of the rebellious spirit that pushes you to fight for your dreams by challenging power thanks to the authentic strength of music. In We Will Rock You , Rock music keeps the memory alive, fuels the revolution, gives voice to those who want to change the world. In this story, the rebellion is not only against a regime: it is against everything that extinguishes creativity, uniqueness and life itself. It is an invitation to celebrate differences, to recognize diversity as wealth, to share a common vision to build a more equitable, truer and shared future together. You don’t need a hero, you need the strength to believe together in something great, because as I love to remember, the strength of We Will Rock You is all in the We, in the Us, and it reminds us that alone we don’t go anywhere”, says Michaela Berlini, director and author of the new adaptation.

The production stands out for its visual and sound impact: overwhelming choreography, futuristic costumes, spectacular lights, enveloping scenography and a maniacal attention to sound. Every evening, the stage comes to life thanks to a band of extraordinary musicians and a cast of incredibly talented performers , who with powerful voices and a magnetic stage presence convey all the emotional and physical strength of Queen’s repertoire. It is an authentic , engaging , total live experience .

WE WILL ROCK YOU is not just a show: it is a declaration of intent, an absolute rock event, an emotional and musical journey that entertains, excites, makes you think and unites generations, where every spectator can find himself and his own rebellious spirit.

It is not a simple musical: it is a cry for freedom, a hymn to the revolutionary power of music, a living and vibrant tribute to the myth of Queen that gives us the awareness that the future is not suffered but conquered to the rhythm of rock.
