Fareham Live will Rock You this Summer with a fist-pumping, foot-stomping anthem filled musical celebrating individuality. Featuring chart-topping Queen songs including “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen,” “We Will Rock You,” “Somebody To Love,” “We Are the Champions,” we follow two young rebels as they restore rock ‘n’ roll to “the iPlanet” in a post-apocalyptic world where algorithms predict our every preference.
This project offers young people an unparalleled opportunity to perform in and help produce a full-scale musical in a professional theatre. Participants work with a highly skilled professional creative team alongside live musicians, professional lighting, sound, set and costumes.
There will be an introductory workshop to familiarise young people and their families with the project in April 2025 to ensure that it is truly accessible to all. This will be followed up by auditions taking place in May (if your child chooses to audition for a main part, this is optional).
