We Will Rock You, the musical built around the songs of Queen, will play its final performance at the Dominion Theatre on October 7th.

The show, which features a book by Ben Elton, direction by Christopher Renshaw and choreography by Arlene Phillips, has been a hit with audiences (despite poor reviews) for over four and a half years. Set on Planet Mall (formerly known as Earth) in a dark future that ordains computer-produced cyber music in place of live performance, We Will Rock You's heroes are a group of Bohemian rebels who must fight against the evil Killer Queen in order to play their music. The show features 32 classic Queen songs such as "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "I Want It All," "Radio Gaga," "Under Pressure," and the title song.

We Will Rock You is a global hit, as well; productions have played in Germany, Spain and other countries. A UK tour is expected to follow the closing of the musical.

Daddy Cool will be the West End's next show to slide under the "jukebox musical" category. Opening May 16th at the Shaftesbury Theatre after previews beginning April 26th, it will feature the songs of 70s band Boney M.
