I would have loved to go there as well. But then I also wanted to go to Jacky's anniversary and I cannot do both, unfortunately... I keep telling myself that it would be an overdoze after watching it this Thursday and Zurich in December and in London in October. Who wants to see it 4 times within a few months? ;D Plus I cannot be bothered to go and not attend the aftershow aftershow aftershow party. Just for the record: I am not stuttering. This is what happenend in Zurich...

You don't like the musical?! Sure! ;D It's too late anyway and though I would have loved to go I fear it's going to be the same situation like in Zurich - but worse! I just saw it again in Cologne with the new Gallileo and Killerqueen. This time we sat in row 3 (right in the middle!) and I loved every minute of it. There's no way I will go for tickets in the back again! ;D

Yes, Sam. You have to! This was posted both on Brian's and Jacky's website (just more to be sad not being there....) WWRY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY PRESS RELEASE! By Jacky Apr 24, 2007, 19:15 For Immediate Release: Tuesday 24 April 2007
Queen & Ben Elton’s We Will Rock You Celebrates 5th Birthday With Special Performance Monday May 14 And Announces Extension into 7th Year. Show Now Goes On Until 2008
Can it really be five years since Queen and Ben Elton turned London’s Dominion Theatre into ‘the place of living rock’ with their partnership hit musical, We Will Rock You?
The answer comes with news that Elton and Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor are lining up a shindig evening at the theatre on Monday May 14 to celebrate exactly five years to the date that the show, which has since haunted the critics, first opened its doors.
As with past landmarks reached by the show - becoming the Dominion’s longest running musical, the 1000th performance - we should anticipate the May 14th evening becoming something of a special event, certainly involving the show creators themselves, and with the added anticipation of one or two ‘special guests’ popping up on stage unannounced.
We shouldn’t forget that since it’s opening, the likes of Britney Spears, Beyonce, Pink, and McFly have all made guest appearances on the Dominion’s WWRY stage.
And while five years in the life of many a West End show may be considered a long time, it appears Messrs Elton and Queen are not content with settling on running for a mere half a decade. The producers today announced the extension of the show into October 2008, heading the show for, at least, a run into its seventh year.
The news of We Will Rock You having made it past the five-year mark is not the only fact about the show which marks out its spectacular success in the West End.
In reaching this latest birthday, the show passes the 3 million-ticket mark, and same time becomes the longest running entertainment ever to occupy the Dominion. The show’s closest rival, which it now far surpasses, was 1958’s filmed version of South Pacific, which talked its last happy talk at the end of four years.
The previous longest running stage musical, Grease, came to an end at the Dominion after 3 years and 3 months.
It is not only at home that WWRY continues to prove a popular attraction with audiences. In Toronto, where the show opened earlier this month, the producers have already this month announced two further extensions to the run. Elsewhere in the world, the show continues to run in Spain, Germany, and Switzerland, and later this year begins a lengthy tour of Asia.
A limited number of tickets for the fifth anniversary show are now on sale at usual ticket prices (£27.50 - £55). In person from the Dominion box office or by telephone on: 0870 169 0116 (booking fee).
WE WILL ROCK YOU. A Phil McIntyre/Queen Theatrical Productions and Tribeca Theatrical Productions production. Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London, W1. (Tottenham Court Road tube station).
I still have a few tickets, good seats, special Fan Club Members price.. email me! (qfc)
