Theatrical Rights Worldwide Acquires Rights to School Version of WE WILL ROCK YOU

Musical licensor Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) has announced the acquisition of the North American licensing rights to the hit musical SCHOOLS WILL ROCK YOU. Based on the Olivier Award winning WE WILL ROCK YOU, SCHOOLS WILL ROCK YOU features music and lyrics by Queen and story and book by Ben Elton, developed exclusively for schools.

"We are excited to add this title to our collection of shows for students and young people," said Steve Spiegel, President and CEO. "It is an exciting opportunity to carry on the legacy of Queen to new generations and, through their artistry, share the magic of theatre. You can't help but love this musical with all of the classic Queen hits."

Billed as a show that "takes place in a future age on a planet once called Earth that is now controlled by a mighty corporation...rock music is unheard and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance-an alliance of rebel Bohemians." The show features Queens chart topping hits like "We Will Rock You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Radio Gaga," "Another One Bites the Dust," "We are the Champions," and many more.

SCHOOLS WILL ROCK YOU will be available for licensing in 2016. Visit theatricalrights.com or follow TRW onfacebook and twitter for more information.
