The Queen musical by Ben Elton and the band hits the
West End...
Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the
same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a
safe, happy, Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel.
Unless you want to Rock.
On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The
company computers generate the tunes and the kids
download them. It is an age of boy bands and of girl
bands. Of boy and girl bands with a couple of boys in
them that look like girls anyway. Nothing is left to
chance, hits are scheduled years in advance. But
resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities,
down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels
who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the
kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs.
They call that time, The Rhapsody. Legend persists
that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist.
Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar
god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians. Is the
one who calls himself Galileo that man? But the Ga Ga
Cops are also looking for Galileo and if they get him
first they will surely drag him before the Killer
Queen and consign him to oblivion across the Seven
Seas of Rye. Who is Galileo? Where is the Hairy One's
lost axe? Where is the place of living rock?
