Loved every aspect of the show. Great music. Great cast. Great scenery. What more can you ask of a musical production.

Really impressed with the show. Hearing the Queen songs with a live band made it all the better. Of course the plot was thin to try to tie the songs together, but you're here for the songs - not the story. But the story was light-hearted enough and reminds you even THEY know this is cheesey and to have fun with it and we did. The tribute to musical performers who past away with an emphasis on Freddie was very touching. The band accompanying them was spectacular and really should've gotten more limelight on them than they did.
A good recommendation if you enjoy Queen.

I was rwally dissapointed to see they had closed this show. My companion and I enjoyed it enormously. The music was great and the cast did an outstanding job. We were planning on seeing it again last December and possibly this coming July, but for some reason Harrah's closed it down after they took over the Caesar's Palace properties (which Paris was one of). We'll probably need to go to London to see the show as I doubt very seriously it will ever make it to Broadway or on the US Musical circuit. Not because of the show or the music but beacuase of the theme. The show is very anti music industry, portraying it (and rightly so in my opinion) as an industry that is more interested in turning out formula songs that make easy money rather than promoting new and distinctive music and musical styles.

I would say the show is appropriate for age 10-12 and up. I would not take younger kids due to some of the language but that may just be me. We really enjoyed the show - music, story, singing were all great. It was loud but hey - it is rock and roll!

My wife and I loved this show. I had read several mixed reviews on the show and did not know what to expect but I can honestly say that I left the theater with a big smile on my face and a skip in my step. The music was very loud but that only added to the overall effect. The cast was wonderful and they looked like they were having as much fun as the audience. I would reccomend this show to anyine from sixteen to old hippies like me.

One of my favorite Vegas shows. I really had no desire to see the show. I didn't want to see a "Legends" type show based on Queen with some hack impersonation of Freddy Mercury. But I was wrong.
The story made excellent use of the songs. I thought the performers were superb and sang the songs with their own personal style.
Great theater, truly not a bad seat in the house. Great sound system. You really felt the base, but do not leave the theater with your ears ringing like after a rock concert. I was glad to see the theater was full.
My only complaint? Not appropriate for children. I am LDS and while watching the show, was thinking, "I can't wait to bring my older kids to this show." Then they added the rough language and sexual innuendos. Now, I know I sound like a prude and the language my kids hear in the line for lunch at school is far worse, I still don't feel expose my children to additional poor language. If I heard that the matinee had tamer language, I would by more tickets tomorrow.
So, other than that small caveat, I highly recommend the show.

Went to the Sunday 2pm show. Purchased my ticket thru goldstarevents.com, and the cost was just under $35. I can say that I got my money worth and more. The musical was full of humor and inside jokes at the expanse of Vegas. Music was great, as well as the performers. Show also had a certain twist near the end, that I will not go into so as not to ruin the show for those that go. Seats were good, no bad views at all. Truth was that the theater was half full, and you could move to any seat you wanted too. No one even questioned you when you move. I can recommand this show, with no reservations.

I enjoyed this show, especially the singing and the live band. they all did a terrific job. However, the plot, although humorous, has been done before dozens of times.
The night we went I took my two teenagers who are both rabid Queen fans. They were dressed for the show in much the same style as the actors and I was surprised to see they were the only people in the audience who came this way. This is a rock show and while we were clapping, singing and waving our arms to the music the majority of the audience was sitting on their hands. I've got to think that with the wrong audience and the ticket prices that are too high, this show has a limited life in this venue, if not in Vegas. And that's too bad. Because despite an over worked plot and some subpar acting, the music is just wonderful and I realy did enjoy this show.
If you go, and I recommend you do, go for the Sunday matinee or buy the cheap tickets. The venue is not large and the view in the cheap seats in just fine.

We saw this show on Sunday night 1/30/05 with a theater that was only 1/2 full.
in fact we were sitting on the side and the manager came to us and told us to move forward center to the best seats. I am a huge fan of QUEEN & I MISS FREDDY.
This show has nothing to do with Queen, except they play their songs. You hear a live rock band, but you never see them until the end of the show. The band is great and should of been visable the entire performance. The story doesn't make any sense, don't ask me how, but the villians end up with the rebels for the big finale'. it's not the performers fault this show sucks, they sing and dance their hearts out, it's the bogus plot that destroys this show. when you go into the store in the Paris lobby, you see Queen, hear Queen, & can't wait to see the Queen show. But that never happens! they pun every rock line, quote every famous singer, show photos of Elvis, Buddy Holly, John Lennon, & every other dead rock star. Nothing to do with Queen. FORGET THIS SHOW, SAVE YOUR MONEY. THE REAL QUEEN IS TOURING THIS COMING SUMMER WITH PAUL RODGERS, that'll be the Queen show to see. This show won't last long, especially with the theater 1/2 empty every night. RIP Freddy Mercury, you will never be replaced.

There's a lot to like about this musical. The songs of Queen are a perfect basis for dramatic stylings and the band, choreography and singing is terrific. The plot is amusing, a variant on all those futuristic dystopia stories about rebels standing up to the system (in this case, rock lovers versus corporate globalization). The staging is simple for 21st century Vegas yet creative. The villains are appropriately garish, and the best singers in the cast to boot.
But it's a heavily flawed show too. While many of the pop-culture jokes are witty, others - particularly the Vegas/self-referential ones - are strained and/or overdone. The 2 lead good guys are terrible actors; they would have been better suited to some Disney cartoon musical. And the climactic scene is as anti-climactic as they come; heck the whole show drags after the killer rendition of "Another One Bites the Dust".
I didn't love this show, but I liked it and it does deserve more of an audience than it is currently getting. I went to a Sunday matinee that was half-full, even with all tickets at $60 - the STARTING price for tickets at night, when the best seats go for $120. Paris Las Vegas is wildly overcharging for this show and cutting off its potential audience. It's new, true, but this is not nearly worth $85-$120; the scope and scale of it doesn't touch most of the other shows in that price range (and making a disparaging joke in the show about Cirque du Soleil seems rather petty in that light). Drop all ticket prices to $60 and the show will be better off.

I saw this show in December, and I must say, I LOVED EVERY CORNY MINUTE OF IT!!
The vocals and the band were tremendous! The acting was (in most cases) intentionally "bad" ... and was done very well. My only disappointment was that the show was too short, and could have used an extra dozen or so songs. (By now you will have guessed that I am a rabid QUEEN fan.)
To put things in perspective, this show was not created to play Stratford-Upon-Avon, and William Shakespeare has nothing to worry about. The storyline is merely the cream filling between the QUEEN-song "cookies". Go see it expecting nothing more and nothing less, and you will leave happy!

Great Show !! It was a Broadway type show doing great Queen Songs. If you were looking for a reenactment of a Queen Concert, you'll probably be disappointed ! If you are a fan of the Queen lyrics that are sung by some very talented idividuals, you'll love it.. the Band is great ! Not a bad seat in the house, and I loved the closing with BOHEMIAN RHAPSONDY ! I highly recommend it !

This is supposed to be a "musical" based on Queen's music, but the music is blasting so loud, it sounds more like a rock concert. Even so, thought the band was the best part of the show-they should be seen more, not just at the end. As for the performers, they are a spirited bunch, and can really belt out the songs, but the plotline and acting is so poor, I couldn't get past it to really enjoy the songs. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't so expensive. I spend the majority of the night thinking how I could have been spend my money. The 2 points is for the rocking band.

This is rock and roll! The band is great. The Killer Queen and Oz are two wonderful female vocalists. This is the best Rock on the Strip. The negatives are a hokey plot, and some of the dialog. But the strength is the music. If you want to hear some power guitars grind on a great sound system, in a theater with no bad seats...go see this show. Ignore the Queeen references in the show, unless you are a Queen fan, and the plot is almost tolerable, although comic. But what you get here more than anything else is great music. You want to hear some great instrumentals, listen to the power in the eight piece live band in Another One Bites the Dust. And Patti, who plays the Killer Queen can belt out the lyrics to this song. In fact, Carly Thomas does a good job singing with power as Oz. The issue for this show is not whether you like Queen, but whether you like Rock N Roll, and do you want to hear some musical power? This is the best Rock on the Strip. Seats range from $53 (top four rows) to $117. Sunday Matinee tickets are all in the $50 range. I look forward to seeng this show again, hopefully with somebody I can dance with.

This is a little of a mixed review as I felt the the signing and dancing were excellent - some of the best in Vegas. The story line was pretty lame and laced with bad puns. If you can bleep over the attempts at "Punism" or maybe "Pun"ishment, you will enjoy this show alot.

Went to see the show with some comp tickets my father got. I didn't want to go, but my mother wanted me to see the theater. The theater was nice and the show amazed me. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a serious totally plot driven show, but if you're looking for a fun musical that's funny and really entertaining...then go to this show. I'm really glad I went and I'm probably going to see it again with some friends.

We attended before the official opening. We Are The Champions...Another One Bites the Dust...Crazy Little Thing Called Love...Bohemian Rhapsody...among many others (as well as the title song) performed flawlessly. A tribute to some of the Legends of Rock Music is included, wrapped in an unusual story with familiar "boy meets girl" and "good overcomes evil" themes...with a little bit of a British-Styled humor thrown in. If you're interested in a 1970's influenced "London/Vegas Rock Opera"...you'll like it!
