Living in London

As a long time fan of the rock group Queen, I couldn't resist the opportunity to attend the critically panned show in London called We Will Rock You. We had front row seats at the Dominion Theatre, a large but aging venue in the London's west end theatre district - akin to Broadway in New York.

I can't argue with the critics. It was everything they said that it was and it wasn't. Yet, as a diehard fan of Queen, the show was wonderful, the music was great and the acting and dancing were fun to watch.

Here is a sample of some of the critic's reviews:

• A super high energy show with a wacky story that all Queen fans will love.
• Not a great show, unless you happen to be a fan of Queen.
• Shallow, stupid and totally vacuous new musical.
• The songs are recreated meticulously. Diehard Queen fans may be satisfied...... You will find nothing bohemian, and precious little that's rhapsodic, here.
