Thirty months in the making We Will Rock You plans to do exactly that in its final shows on Saturday. The musical by Queen and Ben Elton was scrapped six weeks out from its 2020 show owing to the global pandemic before it was rescheduled for this winter. Opening at Albury Entertainment Centre last week, the show stars Border performer and former Australian Idol finalist Liam Dalby as Galileo and Albury newcomer Simone Crossley as Scaramouche. Dalby and Crossley will be joined on stage by a stellar cast of rock stars including Border performers Niki Strauss, Simon Goss, John Parry and an experienced ensemble.
