Balor DCA presents the West End hit based on the music of Queen.
300 years from now, in a futuristic and globally corporate world, Planet Earth (renamed the iPlanet) is controlled by the Globalsoft Corporation whose head, the sinister Killer Queen, who has banned all non-computer-generated music.
Hearing of a prophecy that a legendary electric guitar has been
hidden somewhere on the planet and that ‘The Dreamer’ will emerge from
the people to show the way to it, she orders her Chief of Police,
Khashoggi, to crush any uprising.
Meanwhile, Galileo, a young outsider, is desperate to “break free” from this corporate world. He hears lyrics in his dreams and is heralded as the star
of the prophecy by the Bohemians who have been searching for the lost instrument. To fulfil the prophecy. Galileo must evade the clutches of the
Killer Queen and finally bring back the music by finding Rock's Holy Grail– Brian May’s guitar–buried in the remains of Wembley Stadium.
Every summer Balor DCA brings together the cream of young local talent to rehearse with Director Caroline Bell, Musical Director Alice Gildea and Choreographer
Katriona McNamee to produce the Balor Summer Musical – an annual highlight.
