Genghis Khan
Ancient Mariner
On Halloween, Oct. 31, my babe and I saw the Queen musical in Toronto. Overall, we both enjoyed the show. The acting was decent and the singing was very good. My opinion on the musical definitely swayed depending on the particualar song being played. If I liked the song, the show was great, if the song was just passable the show was not as good. Some of the songs seemed forced and crammed into the show particularly early on. Some of my favourite performaces were "Radio Ga Ga", "I Want to Break Free", "Under Pressure", "I Want It All", "Headlong", "Another One Bites the Dust", "We are the Champions" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". The summary of the muscial can best be described by the ad from the theatre.
"In a future world - where globalisation is complete - we are all safe, happy, homogenised consumers. One giant corporation tells us what to buy, what to wear, what to believe, how to live, what to think... but, deep beneath the gleaming cities, there are rebels who remember the time they call The Rhapsody... and make their own forbidden music." -- Panasonic Theatre ad for the musical.
If you live in Great Britain, Germany and Canada you may still have a chance to see the musical. They'll be playing it in Toronto until Jan. 4th. We payed $50.00 for two tickets. A great deal!
