Our heroes\u2019 names are Galileo and Scaramouche. The villain? Killer Queen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In \u201cWe Will Rock You,\u201d the 2002 musical drawn from the music of Queen, Earth is called iPlanet, and conformity reigns. Free musical expression is forbidden, but a young maverick or two can\u2019t resist their flaming artistic impulses.<\/p>\n
Call it \u201cFootloose,\u201d but set 300 years in the future and with more glam in its rock.<\/p>\n
Also, here it\u2019s the rebels, not the oppressors, who take up the mantle of spirituality. They have a prophecy, sacred text (i.e., Queen lyrics) and a religious pilgrimage to undertake (to the ruins of Wembley Stadium, where \u201cQueen at Wembley\u201d was shot).<\/p>\n
For San Jose Stage Company, Will Detlefsen directs the musical featuring such hits as \u201cSomebody to Love,\u201d \u201cFat Bottomed Girls,\u201d \u201cRadio Ga Ga\u201d and \u201cI Want to Break Free.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our heroes\u2019 names are Galileo and Scaramouche.
