We Will Rock You electrifies Singapore at Esplanade Theatres,5-22 January 2023.

After Singapore,this production continues on a multi-year international tour,bringing this dynamic new interpretation to audiences across the world.GMG Productions,whose headquarters are in Manila,will bring We Will Rock You to New Zealand in June 2023,after Singapore's season.

"GMG Productions is incredibly excited to have our production of We Will Rock You debut in Singapore. While the original production has been seen by over 20 million people worldwide,we know the Singapore audience loves Queen and Queen's music,and we can't wait to thrill them with our brand-new set and costume design. Our director has also brought a modern vibe to the musical and we promise that the 2023 update is one musical-rock-concert that everybody will enjoy," said GMG Productions CEO and We Will Rock You producer,Carlos Candal.

In addition,Mr Candal adds,"GMG Productions has had its sights on markets outside of the Philippines for some time,so we are thrilled to be taking We Will Rock You to Singapore and New Zealand,two markets we plan to bring a lot of content to over the next few years.While Manila is where it all started,we are focused on expanding into the rest of the Asia Pacific."

We Will Rock Youfollows two revolutionaries as they try to save rock'n'roll music in a post-apocalyptic world. The musical is telling of an age where algorithms predict every human preference,and so,the new We Will Rock Youis a musical for our time: a fast-paced,fist-pumping,foot-stomping anthem to individuality. This brand-new international rock-powered production features 24 of Queen's biggest hits,includingKiller Queen,Under Pressure,We Are the Champions,Radio Ga Ga,I Want to Break Free,Don't Stop Me Now Bohemian Rhapsody,Another One Bites the Dust,and,of course,the inimitableWe Will Rock You.

Says Nick Winston,director and choreographer,"I'm so grateful to the Producers for supporting my vision for We Will Rock You. Science fiction isn't a genre you get to explore often in musical theatre,and I have had so much fun bringing this dystopian world to life with my extraordinary cast and creative team. I hope the Singapore audience enjoys what we've worked on to bring them!"

With a futuristic styled set by Tom Rogers,video backdrop by Douglas O'Connell and fabulous new costumes from Sarah Mercade,the musical is set to thrill Singapore in its limited season!
