It's safe to say this is something you haven't seen in Lithgow before.

The Lithgow Musical Society will stage its latest show 'We Will Rock You', featuring all your favourite Queen hits, at St Patrick's Primary School hall from November 17 until November 30.

Set in the not too distant future the show uses the music of Queen to tell the story of how a rag tag group of 'Bohemians' rebel and save the world from the evil Globalsoft Corporation through the power of rock 'nd Roll.

"We will Rock You" is the Musical Society's first ever rock musical and the cast, crew and stalwart director Rae Burton are thrilled to be able to bring something very new and different to Lithgow audiences.

With the Union Theatre currently undergoing extensive renovations, the hall at St Patrick's Primary is being used. Its elevated and stepped stage has given the society the opportunity to try something new with the staging.
