CO2: We Will Rock You (2026)

Show Bio

Get ready to rock out with Colchester Operatic Society Second Edition (CO2) and their next production of We Will Rock You, the electrifying jukebox musical that’s taken the world by storm!

Featuring over 20 of Queen’s greatest hits – including Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody to Love, Don’t Stop Me Now and of course, We Will Rock You – this futuristic musical delivers a high-energy, feel-good night of unforgettable music and rebellion.

Set in a dystopian future where live music is banned and individuality is crushed, We Will Rock You follows a group of young rebels – the Bohemians – as they fight to bring back free thought, fashion and rock ‘n’ roll. When two unlikely heroes, Galileo and Scaramouche, revolt against the tyrannical Globalsoft Corporation, they embark on a quest to rediscover the legendary music of the past and ignite a revolution.

Packed with laughter, rebellion, and rock anthems that shake the rafters, We Will Rock You is a musical celebration of freedom, identity, and the power of music to change the world. Are you ready to break free?
