We Will Rock You Features Greatest Hits of Queen
by British comedian Ben Elton (The Young Ones)
Both of my tweens have been obsessed with Queen since they were toddlers, had Bohemian Rhapsody memorized in preschool, and still count Queen as their #1 favorite band. Sadly, they'll never see Freddie Mercury, and there's no replacing his inimitable charisma, character & vocal range. But his songs live on, and we're betting this Broadway in Chicago extravaganza will be a fun evening for sure! We've been promoting this show for months and eagerly anticipating it. Now we're super excited to check it out on opening night, TONIGHT. We'll have a full review up shortly.
We're also big fans of The Young Ones and Ben Elton, who wrote this musical! I'm afraid my kids grew up on Brit humor, 80's cult classics, animated episodes of The Tick and Pee Wee's Playhouse, when other kids were watching Barney and The Wiggles. In spite of (or maybe because of) our family TV taste, they've morphed into some of the funniest, most delightful kids I know.
For Young Ones fans out there, my punk rock girl is Vyvyan all over and my long haired boy is Neil. They do some hilarious scenes from the show together, but won't let me video tape 'em. Lentils... need I say more. My husband calls me "the people's poet" which I'll reluctantly accept, tho I hope I'm not half as pretentious.
