What is the name of the Queen musical that opened in 2002? The musical is We Will Rock You. Built around Queen’s songs, it opened in London’s West End at the Dominion Theatre on 14 May 2002, after preview performances began on 26 April.

The show features a book by comedian and writer Ben Elton rather than a conventional biography of the band. Its science-fiction story is set in a future society where free thought and original music are suppressed. A group called the Bohemians fights to restore creativity, while the plot incorporates familiar Queen songs including “We Will Rock You,” “We Are the Champions,” and “Somebody to Love.”

The title is sometimes confused with informal descriptions such as “The Queen Musical” or with the band’s song itself. We Will Rock You is the official title of the stage production. Critics were initially harsh, but audiences embraced it, and the original London production became the longest-running musical staged at the Dominion Theatre before closing in 2014.
