We Will Rock You brings the audience 300 years into the future, a dystopian, globally corporate world named ‘iPlanet’ under the control of the Globalsoft Corporation and the Killer Queen.

Brian said, “It combines that with the fantastic music of Queen and brilliant dance numbers that you’re all going to love. I play Buddy, he’s the leader of the Rebel Bohemians who are out to oust the Killer Queen and the Globalsoft Corporation, who’ve taken over the world and banned rock and roll music from the lives of all the Gaga Kids in Gaga Land.”

I think everyone should come along and see it, first chance you’re gonna see it in Limerick and the first chance you’re gonna see it anywhere in Ireland because it’s the Irish amateur premiere.”

The Cecilian Musical Society’s production of We Will Rock You runs at Lime Tree Theatre from November 19 to 22, with tickets available through the Lime Tree Theatre website and audiences are advised to book early to avoid disappointment.
