THE first performance of the hit musical We Will Rock You was held at a Leigh school yesterday.
Belfairs High School is staging the musical, which was written by comedian Ben Elton and based on the songs of rock band Queen. Yesterday afternoon more than 50 pupils from the school made their debut in the production on the school’s stage.
School spokeswoman Jan Andrews said: “It’s the most manic thing we’ve ever done. Normally we just do shows on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
“But we’re doing a matinee in front of primary schools Monday and Tuesday and for the rest of the week we’re doing evening performances.”
