Can friendship, family and a little fairy magic remind her what truly matters before it's too late? Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, spectacular songs, colourful characters and plenty of audience participation, this heart-warming pantomime is a golden treat for the whole family.

We Will Rock You
8th - 10th Apr 2027

NRAD Youth and NRAD Youth Juniors presents WE WILL ROCK YOU, a high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled musical featuring the iconic Queen hits, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions,” “Somebody to Love,” “Don’t Stop Me Now,” and of course, “We Will Rock You.”

Set in a post-apocalyptic future where individuality has been outlawed and music is controlled by algorithms, the story follows two young revolutionaries who dare to defy the system to save rock ‘n’ roll. This fist-pumping, foot-stomping anthem to freedom and self-expression is a musical for our time—unapologetically bold and filled with the timeless power of Queen’s legendary music. With over 7 million fans rocked in its original 12-year West End run, WE WILL ROCK YOU made history as the longest-running show at London’s Dominion Theatre.

A global phenomenon, WWRY has been performed in 28 countries and seen by more than 16 million people worldwide. This explosive, rockin’ spectacle is a celebration of the power of music and individuality that will leave audiences cheering for more. WE WILL ROCK YOU Young@Part® is the authorised shortened edition of the West End musical for youth theatres.

We've come a long way!

Our first production was a pantomime called "Jack Frost's Easter Adventure" which we performed in 2018 over the Easter Holidays, which was the first time many of us had performed on stage!
