About This Event

The Customs House Summer School returns with a rousing production of Queen and Ben Elton's worldwide hit musical We Will Rock You. Staged by the venue's young performers, the show is packed with Queen's biggest anthems, from We Are The Champions and Radio Ga Ga to I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Under Pressure and, of course, Bohemian Rhapsody. Set in a dystopian future where live music has been banned, the story follows a band of rebel Bohemians fighting to bring rock and roll back to the world. It is a joyous, foot-stomping celebration of one of the greatest catalogues in pop history. Performances run Friday 28 August at 7:00pm, Saturday 29 August at 2:00pm and 6:00pm, and Sunday 30 August at 6:00pm at The Customs House on Mill Dam.
