About "We Will Rock You"
Based on the music of Queen, "We Will Rock You" is set in a futuristic, corporate world 300 years from now. The story follows Galileo, a young outsider who dreams of breaking free from societal constraints. Encountering the Bohemians, rebels searching for lost instruments, Galileo embarks on a journey to restore live music while facing the tyranny of the Killer Queen.
