The plot

The musical We Will Rock You is set in the future where a global supercomputer named “Consumer Product Protection Association” or “CPPA” has forbidden rock music.

The original score was written by Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor, with additional contributions from Ben Elton.

The Guardian’s Nancy Banks-Smith also gave the show two out of five stars, writing that “the surprises are minimal and the jokes obvious”, but praised Ben Elton for his “fiercely accurate send-up of the music business”. Michael Billington, also of The Guardian, gave the show three out of five stars, praising Bono and The Edge’s score as “surprisingly solid” and calling Elton’s book “a hilarious satire on the cult of celebrity”.
