Queen Musical Rocks On

We Will Rock You, the futuristic musical based on the songs of rock band Queen, will not close after all (see our story of 29th January) but has actually extended its run until 26th April, 2007.

It was due to close on 7th October and embark upon a national tour and it was to be followed into the Dominion in early 2007 by the musical based on Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, which opened in Toronto to fairly damning reviews.

A statement from producer Phil McIntyre said, "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.”
