a musical based on the songs by the legendary rock band
Queen. often shortened to WWRY.
The time is the future, in a place that was once called
Earth. Globalisation is complete!
Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts.
It's a safe, happy, Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to Rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and everybody downloads them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands. Of Boy and Girl Bands. Of Girl Bands with a couple of boys in them that look like
girls anyway. Nothing is left to
chance, hits are scheduled years in advance.
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
But Resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty
axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a
hero to find this
axe and draw it from
stone.
Is the
one who calls himself Galileo that man?
He’s just a poor boy. From a poor
family
But the Ga Ga Cops are also looking for Galileo and if they get him first they will surely drag him before the Killer
Queen and consign him to oblivion across the Seven Seas of Rye.
Who is Galileo? Where is the Hairy
One's lost
axe?
Where is the place of living rock?
Anywhere the wind blows
