Verdict for We Will Rock You

Music and Lyrics :) :) :) :)
by Queen
Classic

Story :|
by Ben Elton
If this were Mr Elton first work, then it might be his first and the last.
Fotunately Mr Elton has a string of successes to prove otherwise. We Will Rock You was another "put-some-classic-songs-together-and-invent-a-story" kind of musical. The story line was worse than Mamma Mia! One should learn from Taboo: same situation but the songs merge so well with the story.

Singing :) :)
Tony Vincent has a great voice and did a great job from singing from the beginning of the show till the end.

Sharon Clarke, as usual, has the biggest and best sets of vocals.

Acting :) :)
Thank God for Nigel Planer who really lifted up the show. Hannah Jane Fox as the foul mouth Scaramouche has the show's best lines.

Production/Scenery :) :) :)
Directed by Christophere Renshaw
The production was great. But after a few scenes you will feel you are watching Pop Idol on stage. But to be fair there are a lot of great computer graphics.
