keep on rockin'

What a show!
No, not just a show!
It was an experience!

I never witnessed such a cool and awesome perfomance before!
The three times I had seen it before were already great but this finish was just unbelievable.
(1st, 2nd, 3rd)

This time I finally saw Serkan Kaya as Galileo. It's true, he is the best!
Scaramouche was played again by Silke Braas - she is a pretty cool Scaramouche too. Jessica Kessler couldn't play in the great final performance because of an laryngitis. Get well soon!
I guess the rest was the first cast. Martin Berger as Khashoggi (fabulous!) and Brigitte Oelke as Killer Queen (perfect!).

The show was unbelievable! The actors put in some extra jokes and improvisations. It was a huge party for everyone!
The audience was wonderful too. Right from the beginning, when the lights went out and we were told to turn off the cellphones etc., the crowd started screaming like the stars were already on stage. Wow! What a start!
And the atmosphere stayed so till the very end.
At the start of every single song the people screamed and clapped their hands like at a concert and sang along. Some even spoke the text partly along. Really cool!

After the pause free glow-sticks were given out. An awesome view to see everybody in the theater waving with the lights.
Before the second part began people stomped the 'Wee Will Rock You'-rhythm and shook the whole theater.

During the second part the audience went completely 'Bohemian' and at the end everybody sang along the 'Bohemian Rapsody'. It was overwhelming!

This time there was even another song as encore - 'The Show Must Go On'. Again the complete audience was singing, clapping and jumping.

Here some videos from youtube-user Miaka01.




Afterwards Serkan thanked everybody and the actors pulled the custome and make-up staff and the techies on stage. A real noble gesture.

You could see the joy in the actors eyes for having given us such a great performance but also a bit of sadness about having reached the end of an era.



Hope WWRY will be back in Vienna soon!

As I mentioned last time - I think it's a great way to keep Freddie Mercury's and Queen's music and legacy in people's minds!

Never forget - THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
