Rock anthems inside a musical story
We Will Rock You combines Queen's songs with Ben Elton's futuristic comedy, turning a rock catalogue into a story about individuality and the power of music. The Station SC hosted the production on the Sunshine Coast in October 2024.
The score moves through songs including Radio Ga Ga, Somebody to Love, We Are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody. That range puts theatrical scenes alongside numbers with the scale and familiarity of a rock concert, giving the lighting more than one kind of performance to support.
Colour and contrast for the rock score
Krank'd's lighting designer Panda led the design, with Marissa Hilliar as associate lighting designer. The production used bold colour and contrasting stage looks to accompany the music and the changing scenes.
The visual approach connected the storytelling to the larger musical numbers. Stronger, broader looks could give the songs their concert presence, while changes in contrast kept the performers and action readable within the stage world. Krank'd's work covered the lighting production for the show at The Station.
