I love Queen and really enjoyed the show, despite the bonkers plot!

I saw it in London a couple of years back, as longs as you are happy it is a tribute to the music and not a life story then you won't be disappointed. The beauty of it is you can go back time and again as they re-fresh the script regularly to ensure the jokes remain topical

As for the plot - very Bill and Ted

I have always been a fan of Queen.

Pity it is too far from me to go as well.

Thanks Chip, hope they make it to this part as well. We had a very good Glen Miller tribute band here.

Totally agree. I have seen it twice now with a 5yr gap in between the two performances. The jokes/references were updated in order to keep them in line with current affairs.

As Jon points out it is a musical not a Queen biography so the lyrics of the Queen songs are also adjusted to help the storyline of the musical - don't expect them to be word for word greatest hits.

Nonetheless it's fantastic and my 10yr old & 5 yr old daughters both loved it too!
