A Kind of Magic - We Will Rock You:The Musical Plays Columbus


      We Will Rock You: The Musical has made it's way to the Palace Theater in Columbus, Ohio. The show is running here in Columbus until Sunday, January 12th, 2014. I had the privilege of seeing the show last night, and I had an excellent time. The show is a jukebox musical based entirely on the music of the 70's progressive rock band "Queen", which was lead by famous front-man Freddie Mercury. Mercury is widely known not only as a musician but was taken too soon by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Freddie passed in 1991, at the young age of 45 years old. As a fan of the band "Queen"  - I must say this show provided the platform of a nice tribute to the band, and to the front-man's early passing.

      The musical story centers around life in what might not be an all too distant future- where everything is lived on social media, and the remnants of free expression through rock and roll music are almost all long forgotten. A World where the government is controlling everything you like, and can even know. A young boy "Galileo" and his soon to be female friend "Scaramouche" get arrested for defying the odds to be themselves. However, there is a few people who haven't been fooled by the consumerism that has taken over the world, and caused people to become robots to society - "The Bohemians". These characters yearn for something more to life, and will do anything to live out the dream of once again hearing music, and rock and roll the way it was intended. Meanwhile, they still have an antagonist who will do anything she can to put an end to all this. "The Killer Queen", and her many minions.  I don't wanna tell you too much about these characters as you'll have a great time, and probably be able to follow the simple plot constructed around all the great Queen hits you probably already know.

      The Show is overall a great time, and at times even may seem like you are at a rock show, rather than at a Broadway scale musical. The lighting has all the stops you'd expect in a show like this - the mirror ball, the strobe lights, the concert track lighting. The sets are pretty fun as well, as most of them are projections that fit well with the stories pace. The actors do a good job conveying the story, and singing the songs the way you'd want to hear them live.The characters at times even get the audience involved. I may of waived my hands in the air a couple times too with the rest of the audience. This show is also great for date night, guys night out, girls night out, and is for anyone just looking to rock out.  You might also use this show as a fun night indoors to stay busy while battling the cold weather. 

     Don't miss this show- You'll love it. Take this as me telling you that it is only here for 1 week, and your "Under Pressure" to go see this one for yourself. This show will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat.
