BWW Reviews: Rare FIFTH DIMENSION Concert Rocks Los Angeles
by Don Grigware - Aug 11, 2014


'Up, Up and Away' is not only the signature tune of the Fifth Dimension but it expressed the overall uplifting feeling Saturday night when the group made a rare Los Angeles concert appearance at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. Their positive energy made the entire audience want to fly right along with them as they soared through a thrilling 90 minute odyssey of their hits as well as a bevy of Motown pop standards and other great tunes from the past. It was indeed a walk down memory lane, a dandy one, with gorgeous Florence LaRue, one the original founders of the Fifth Dimension, and her current partners Willie Williams, Patrice Morris, Leonard Tucker and Floyd Smith. Every one just oozed personality, charm, warmth and pizzaz and are still in super dynamic vocal form. LaRue sounds every bit as good as she did back in 1965 when the group started out, with an incredible range and sultry delivery that will not quit.

BWW Reviews: Energetic and Fun Production of WE WILL ROCK YOU Plays the Fox Theatre
by Chris Gibson - Mar 20, 2014


If there's any 'jukebox' musical that should be wildly over the top it would have to be one connected with the 70's and 80's rock group Queen. It just makes sense. Their music always had a sort of 'larger than life', heroic quality to it to begin with. So, it's only natural that WE WILL ROCK YOU (book by Ben Elton), the stage adaptation, delivers a perfectly cheesy science fiction plot that forecasts a dystopian future where instruments and composers have become outlawed. With a thumping ten-piece band pumping out the score, this amusing and undeniably wacky production is rockin' the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

WE WILL ROCK YOU, das Original Musical von QUEEN, rockt im Herbst/Winter in München und Frankfurt
by Iris Moebius - Mar 8, 2014


Ab September 2014 wird das erste „Rock-Theatrical" uberhaupt, wie Brian May das Musical nennt, fur nur wenige Monate an das Deutsche Theater Munchen kommen, und dann als Weihnachtsmusical in der Alten Oper Frankfurt gastieren. Und das in der Originalproduktion und in der aufwendigen, deutschsprachigen Inszenierung.

BWW Reviews: Theatre Under the Stars' WE WILL ROCK YOU is High-Voltage Entertainment
by David Clarke - Jan 23, 2014


Theatre Under the Stars is rocking the new year with the National Tour of Ben Elton's book musical WE WILL ROCK YOU, which proudly boats the songs of Queen as its score. The show had its world premiere in London in 2002, and celebrated its 10th anniversary on May 14, 2012 at London's Dominion Theatre. Despite being panned by critics, this raucous, loud, and irresistibly fun rock musical has proven to be an audience favorite. Last night's Houston premiere of the piece was a sparkling example of why this show has had such staying power.
