At first I was sad to hear that THE BEST MUSICAL IN THE WORLD EVER was ending it's reign at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London, England, Britain, Europe, The World, The Universe. But now I am pleased because it might come a bit closer to me instead of me having to trail all the way down to London every other weekend. Come on Edinburgh Playhouse! Or The Kings (Edinburgh, not Glasgow).

It's been to Vegas, but didn't last that long, I don't think (I'm not sure - I seem to recall it opening in September 2004, and closing a few months after that, but given the high turnaround of musicals in Vegas, it's not surprising that it closed).
It's a silly comedy. It's funny, yeah. The music ROCKS bigtime but the story is crap. I know it shouldn't be taken seriously and I didn't. I really enjoyed it. It was the closest thing to a Queen concert I'd had when I saw it in 2002 and it was fun. A great night out, like many people said earlier.
I was The Lion King the following night and I have to say the costumes and the stage props were amazing. A million times better than WWRY. Ok, I'm a Queen fan, so I enjoyed WWRY better, but it's not technically that good. I know it's been very successful but I would be VERY surprised if some Theater or Musicals (not Queen) fan thought it was THE BEST EVER...

It just closed this past November in Veags. So it lasted 15 months.

Absolutely - it's not a musical until it's been on Broadway!
Last year, wasn't Brian talking about the possibility of a WWRY USA tour? But then I think something happened with Clear Channel and it couldn't happen. so he said maybe this year...
I really hope it comes around, to New York at least. I've seen vids of the musical, but never in person and I think it would be a lot of fun to see live.
