We Will Rock You

Award winning BFLOC brings the worldwide smash hit musical, We Will Rock You by Queen and Ben Elton to the Blackpool Grand Theatre stage for 1 week only. Set in a future where rock music is forbidden, until a group of rock rebels (the Bohemians) make it their mission to bring it back against all odds in their fight against the all-powerful Globalsoft company and its boss, Killer Queen, the show’s message of the fight to re-establish individuality in a dystopian corporate world is even more relevant now than when it opened at London’s Dominion Theatre in May 2002.

9 to 5 The Musical

Featuring an irresistible score by country music legend Dolly Parton, this hit show follows three office workers who’ve had enough of their overbearing, chauvinistic boss.
