You heard wrong. The plasma screens open your eyes for about 2 seconds, then you slip back into your lull, realising that the rest of the show actually is going to be as bad as all the reviewers made out.

Thank you Killer Queen!

Yes JakeB..it is a snooze...It did NOT rock me.

My final review is up.

I do not understand how anyone could sleep through the Las Vegas production, unless the replies above are about the London show. It rocked as far as I am concerned and many other Las Vegas. The after party was fantastic too!

Yours,

Carolyn

Thanks for the review. This show is awsome.

I heard it's a complete turkey and I tend to believe that as this has been a project that's been kicking around, literally, for years.

You can say what you like about the book (and yes, it is AWFUL beyond belief), but thanks to the music and the arrangements the show is a blast! And with a largely American cast it can only be more fun.

any opening night photos up???

Ive never seen this show or heard the CD, but my problem with this show is that no will be able to match Freddy Murcury's amazing vocals. I love Queen but that is mostly because of his voice and what he brings to these songs.

It is awful. Horrible. A peice of basura! This is entertainment for the stupid . DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY!

Just curious how many people who say the show is bad have seen it in Las Vegas? This show has only had one offical showing that was Sept. 8, 2004 the gala opening and it was invited guests only. This is not the London show this is a new show for Las Vegas. Anyway, many people liked it including people who are big names.

Also to the person who said no one can replace Freddie...well, the show was not written to replace Freddie. It is a musical based on the future with Queen songs in it and references to lyrcis from their songs.

As I said in my review "different strokes for different folks."

Also, previews do not count as they made several changes during previews. Costumes even changed from the photos they have given me to put in my review.

My assoicate who never heard the music of Queen loves it. he wants to go back. He did not like Mamma Mia! This is not Mamma Mia! We rocked and I think if you like rock & roll you will like this show. Freddie's family felt he would like the show too, plus Brian and Roger and the other member have all been involved in the project here.

BTW no photos from the show are online that I know of some publicity photos, I have on my site. But you will start seeing promo videos on music TV programs. VH1 was at the show and they probably shot footage of the after party. I know some people in Australia have seen footage from the Las Vegas production on TV there.

Yours,

Carolyn

I saw the invited dress last week. The show is bad. Midly entertaining. Spend your money elsewhere. ( even blackjack is more fun)

Hello Iris,

Also, thank you for calling me stupid, because I like the show. It is nice to know that a person can have different views from another and then get called stupid because they do:)

Well, there are still a few hundred people that did like the show. What I found really interesting was watching the Paris Hotel executives in their expensive suits rocking with the rest of us:) So I guess we are all stupid.

Exactly what don't you like about the show? You have not mentioned that.

What shows in Las Vegas would you recommend people see instead of WWRY? Right now if people have seen Mamma Mia! there are no other theatre shows here at this time. But we have some coming.

Yours,

We Will Rock you was changed for its Melbourne premiere last year too. Most of the changes (we were told) were for the then mooted US production. Other than that the changes were to bring in some local references. If you think this show is good you must really be starved for entertainment.

[CarolynW]

Posted: 9/10/04 at 11:49pm

What I do not like is people putting down a show they never saw. If you live in Melbourne then you get more theatre than we do. We are just getting some shows, but these are the types of shows we get. Ones that will attract tourist. I love rock & roll and to me it was like a concert and that is fine with me. I know people who have seen the show who are from London and Australia and they love it also. What is wrong with liking a show. Does not mean I am starved for entertainment. We are getting Phantom of the opera too. We only get about 4 to 5 toruing productions a year in Las Vegas.

I only asked a person who said people who like the show are stupid. I asked what they did not like about the show. I ask you the same thing. It has gotten some good reviews. I never put down a show I have never seen. I have been involved with theatre, films and music for something like 40 years. I now do reviews of films, music and theatre type productions in Las Vegas. I do it because I like to not because I am paid to do it.

This cast is made up of people who have worked on Broadway and they are enjoying doing this show. Guess they are also starved for entertainment:)

Rob knows me and I just do not like people who say a show is bad, it sucks without telling why. I am not saying anyone is right or wrong. But give a reason you do not like a show.

This show was funny no one said it was the best show in the world. But it is fun. People come to Las Vegas to have fun. Right now most of the shows in town are by Cirque du Soleil and people are getting tired of the same type of shows. We are also getting "Avenue Q" here. We may one day have some traditional musicals, but right now I am enjoying what I can.

I only came on here because people were bashing a show that had only been open one day. Most have not even seen it. Since the opening was an invitation only event.

Yours,

Carolyn
