Beginning March 14, 2007, a lottery for a limited number of front row seats will be held daily for WE WILL ROCK YOU at the Canon Theatre in Toronto, at 244 Victoria Street. Each day, two hours prior to show time people who present themselves at the Canon Theatre box office will have their names placed in a lottery drum and then will be drawn for a limited number of front row seats at $20 each, cash only. The lottery is available only in-person at the box office, and there is a limit of two tickets per person.
According to press materials the play is "set 300 years in the future, in a time when live music is banned on earth." " WE WILL ROCK YOU is about the kids who are in rebellion, fighting against the all-powerful Globalsoft Corporation that controls their lives and feeds them a diet of synthesized pop. Could the young Galileo and Scaramouche be the heroes needed who will help them "break free" of their chains to rediscover themselves and live music?"Featured in the all-Canadian cast are Yvan Pedneault as Galileo, Erica Peck as Scaramouche, Alana Bridgewater (Menopause Outloud) as the Killer Queen, Evan Buliung (The Lord Of The Rings) as Khashoggi, Jack Langedijk (Kiss of The Spiderwoman, A Streetcar Named Desire), Sterling Jarvis (Disney's The Lion King) is Badass Britney and Suzie McNeil (who was the last woman standing on Rockstar: INXS) as Oz.
