We Will Rock You Redux


Theatre critic Richard has written an article on We Will Rock You, which ended its run a few months ago at the Canon Theatre, but has subsequently been relocated up Yonge Street to the smaller Panasonic Theatre (approx. half the size of the Canon). Supposedly the show has been re imagined, rethought and remounted.


We know Toronto has 'embraced' the show, but lets hope Ben Elton, Brian May and Roger Taylor have refocused the show to really emphasize the music of the book, instead of the awkward story and confusing staging. The smaller venue looks like it was a good decision for a rock show like this.
