Belle over at Belle's domain has a very early copy of the We Will Rock You script. Its longer, has a lot more sex and different songs. Its really interesting to see how its changed. Some of its really funny too...like Galileo Abseiling. Have a read: www.bellesdomain.co.uk/wwry.htm

Yeah, it was up on wwry-london but that script archive had to be taken down. As far as scripts go; the workshop script is, shall we say, darker than the show currently, but it does spark of that humour trademarked to Ben Elton. Would be interesting to see, in the case of say ... perhaps a We Will Rock You movie (ala Mamma Mia; Rent; Hairspray; Sweeney Todd and many others) if they chose to use that script

It is rather funny, but I think there was a bit too much sex...it probably wouldn't have been allowed on the stage. I can see why Brian & Rodger made him change it.
I'd like to see WWRY as a film so long as they don't mess it up. Or do like Mamma Mia did and have a main character that couldn't sing. They should take the best out of all the casts and use them for it. But it would be interesting to see what Planet Mall looks like, the Heartbreak in extent and Wembley etc.

Hm ... Planet Mall would possibly look like a very clean Mall ... Heartbreak would be like ... I want to say the London stage 'cause I think the idea of the Bohemians living literally 'underground' suits the characters. Wembley would look like it did during the building of the new one possibly.

Yeah I like the idea of them living in the old underground (although the loooong dark tunnels are kinda creepy me hopes the Bohemians would have a good lighting system XD )

I figure they'd have made it pretty comfy if they're living down there.
