WE WILL ROCK YOU stars our own princess of pop Annie Crummer as the KILLER QUEEN and Rock Star INXS finalist Miguel Ayesa, who is reprising his West End triumph as GALILEO. Annie is no stranger to this role, having played it in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Japan.

WE WILL ROCK YOU is not a Queen tribute but a "rock theatre" experience featuring 24 of Queen's greatest hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Are The Champions," "Another One Bites The Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."

WE WILL ROCK YOU is a futurist adventure set in a time when live music is banned on earth, but the kids are in rebellion, fighting against the all powerful Globalsoft Corporation which controls their lives and feeds them a diet of synthesized pop. A hero is needed who can help them rediscover themselves - and live music. Could the arrival of 'The Dreamer,' the young Galileo Figaro, be that man? And can he help them break their chains...?

WE WILL ROCK YOU delivers a show that reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen's live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. It's big. The show has nine semi trailors of equipment including state of the art video. And it has a creative team who work closely with Queen's BRIAN MAY and ROGER TAYLOR. (Annie Crummer recorded Another One Bites the Dust in London under the direction of Brian and Roger).

"Annie is one hell of a singer! A voice in a million.' says WE WILL ROCK YOU writer/director Ben Elton, who, with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor, cast Annie in the role of Killer Queen.

WE WILL ROCK YOU continues to play to sold-out houses at London's Dominion Theatre where it has been running since May 2002, and in 2006 became the longest-running musical ever to play at the Dominion, one of the West End's largest theatres. It recently opened to record advances in Toronto. In addition to an ongoing Spanish-language touring production in Spain, WE WILL ROCK YOU also continues to break box office records in Germany, where it is the number one grossing musical of all time. Globally, more than 6 million people have now seen the show.

'This is a new breed of musical,' says James Cundall, co-producer with David Atkins. 'A unique collaboration between the legends of rock and one of the U.K.'s most phenomenally successful writers, Ben Elton. It's just celebrated its fifth year in London's biggest theatre, and every night - as it has since its beginning - WE WILL ROCK YOU is getting five-minute standing ovations.'

James Cundall heads Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, international producers with offices in five countries. This year the company has just had a sell out season of Phantom of the Opera in Singapore and is about to produce Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Singapore and Circus Oz in Hong Kong. Last year brought us the critically acclaimed Stomp and Swan Lake on Ice. David Atkins' DAE has been producing musicals, arena events and live productions across Australia, Asia, America, Europe and the Middle East for over 20 years.
