I noticed when I was listening to the London cd for We Will Rock You, that they have certain different songs than the Toronto one. Or that they are played in a different order. So I decided to list off the songs in the Toronto play. It's also in the order that they are in.
- Innuendo -Radio Ga Ga -I Want to Break Free -Somebody to Love -Killer Queen -Now I'm here -Under Pressure -Kind of Magic -I Want it All - Headlong -No One but You (Only the Good Die Young) - Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Ogre Battle -Fat Bottomed Girls - Who Wants to Live Forever - Flash - Seven Seas of Rhye - Another One Bites the Dust - Hammer to Fall - These are the Days of our Lives - Bicycle Race - Headlong- reprise - Brighton Rock Solo - We Will Rock You - We are the Champions - We Will Rock You (fast version) - Bohemian Rhapsody

There's not really too much difference between shows cept for Now I'm Here.

Yeah. And the Toronto show used to have One Vision in it, but when they moved from the Cannon Theater to the Panasonic Theater, they made some changes and cuts. I don't understand why they did that though!

Not sure, but I know that they incorporated a lot of Canadian and French humor in the Toronto show, due to the fact that the guy who plays Galileo is french.

That makes sense. I know jokes in the London show change sometimes to suit whats going on in the news or whatever. And sometimes they change the Bohemian names if that singer is having a hard time or whatever. Like for a while Britney Spears was Victoria Beckham (because the real Britney was in rehab) and Paul MacCartney was Robbie Williams (because of Paul MacCartney's messy divorce)

It's gone back to Britney Spears now It's an awesome show. It really is. The lines vary as well depending upon whats happening in the world: when I last went in August they still had the line about the Northern Rock bank society in

Yay! I couldn't get used to him as Vic. Yeah I've noticed that. And becuase Brit was Vic, it was the famous Baby Spice Belly Button diamond (I think it was Baby Spice anyway) not the Victoria Beckham BB Diamond that was destroyed by Killer Queen

In the Toronto show, it's Beyonce's diamond belly button ring!

The changes are made to fit in with the feeling of the area it's playing. I except on the UK tour, the jokes and names will change again to fit in more with the area the show will be playing in. Having said that Big Macca's name changed long before the 'messy divorce' and even then there was no need to change it. Sir Paul Maccartney is used to the idea of the press - and the public - poking fun at him, you just have to if you're a British (more so than American or Canadian) star, and the show was doing it in quite a complementary way compared to some. Big Macca should have stayed Big Macca.

Thats very true. I liked the fact that in London show it used to "www/gordon@thejones.com" its now something to do with facebook and being poked. That was quite entertaining.
You're right, the bohemian names are different. I noticed that in the Amerian/ Canadian productions it was OZ whereas in the English one it is Meat, as in Mealoaf the singer.
It's pretty cool how Ben Elton does it. [:
