The Victoria Memorial



The Victoria Memorial is a sculpture in London, placed at the center of Queen's Gardens in front of Buckingham Palace.

It was built by the sculptor Thomas Brock, in 1911.

It has a large statue of Queen Victoria facing north-westwards towards The Mall. The others sides of the monument feature dark patinated bronze statues of angel of justice, the angel of truth and Charity facing Buckingham Palace. On the pinnacle, is Victory with two seated figures. The subsidiary figures were gifted by the people of New Zealand.

I hope that we see it. I think that The Victoria Memorial is a beautiful sculpture and it has a lot of history.

The Musical "We Will Rock You"


We Will Rock You is a musical based on the songs of Queen and named after their hit single of the same name. The musical was written by English comedian and author Ben Elton in collaboration with Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor.

The musical opened in the West End at the Dominion Theatre on May 14, 2002, with Tony Vincent, Hannah Jane Fox, Sharon D. Clarke and Kerry Ellis in principal roles. The musical was panned by critics, but was an audience favourite and is the longest-running musical at that venue. The story takes place in a tongue-in-cheek dystopian future where originality and individualism are shunned, and a lone "Dreamer" appears who can fulfill a prophecy that will enable the return of rock 'n roll.

A number of international productions have followed the original, and We Will Rock You has been seen in Australia, Las Vegas, Moscow, Spain, Japan, South Africa, Zürich, Vienna, New Zealand, South Korea, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong. As of March 2009, productions are still active in London.

We think that it will be an exciting experience.
