'We Will Rock You': A Bohemian Musical

NPR: A musical featuring songs by the British rock band Queen, about a post-rock 'n' roll world where half-remembered hits have a mythical force, is beginning its first North American tour. Queen guitarist Brian May says the show's anti-corporate message brings the power of rock back to the people.

I will confess to having been slightly confused as to how one creates a musical using song which were not originally created to tell a story together, as some albums are. But I think that creating jukebox musicals is an interesting process, because then you're fitting together pieces of a story that someone else has already created, and patchworking it together to create something new. The premise of We Will Rock You seems really interesting
