We Will Rock You to the US

I think shows like We Will Rock You seem much better suited to Vegas than New York. With few exceptions, shows like it are not generally very well recieved in New York. I can see them making their money back in Vegas, but not in New York.

well mamma mia is a major hit with a big profit, and although i have not seen we will rock you it is one those "body of work" musicals wich actually changes lyrics to go with the show.....i think if it follows the lead of mamma mia and tours country racking up a following and opens on broadway during a slow time ie.. mamma mia it will do good, and the music really rocks so will see ( we all wish that shows werent based on bands music, or movies, but hey in the early 90s people hated all the revivals, in the 80's it was the british imports, but broadway needs to keep with times and go through these stages in order to keep attracting new people to the theatre....who knows someone who saw mamma mia at age 10 may be the next sondheim, or kander and ebb, or rodgers and hammerstein :)

Hopefully the people in Vegas will be too drunk to care how good it is.. let's hope so!

Well they don't over choreograph things here.. it is often slightly more natural movements than the bland conventions demanded by Broadway audiences...

For example originally the Broadway Taboo dancing was supposed to be more rough and gritty... but last minute nerves forced a change to something slightly more conventional....

In the case of We Will Rock You they used a lot of movement similar to the Queen Videos....

I think you are too accustomed to seeing the same styles of choreography used over and over again..

You were confused by 'We Will Rock You'?

Does 'Mamma Mia' also confuse you?

i could agree more with you Playbill. Kind of makes you wonder where musical theatre is headed.
