A smash hit musical is heading for the stage.

We Will Rock You will be performed at The Hafren in Newtown this weekend, promising audiences a night of high-energy entertainment.

The show is being staged by LS&D Productions, a Newtown-based musical theatre company led by Les Skilton, Sarah Astley-Davies and Dawn Jones. Together, the trio has already delivered a string of successful productions.

A spokesman for LS&D Productions said: "We're so excited to be bringing the iconic musical We Will Rock You to Newtown.

"It's a fantastic fun-filled show, jam-packed with Queen hits, and we've had a great time working on it.

"Tickets are selling really well, however there are still some left for both performances, so please come along.

"With a fantastic cast and a live band, this promises to be a great night out."

Performances will take place at The Hafren at 7.30pm on Friday, February 27 and Saturday, February 28.

We Will Rock You features more than 20 of Queen’s greatest hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions and the iconic title track.

The story follows a group of young rebels on a mission to restore the power of live music to a world where it has been banned.

The production is the latest from LS&D Productions, formed by Mr Skilton, Ms Astley-Davies and Ms Jones, who have worked together on several popular shows including Sister Act, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Footloose and Oliver.

Tickets for We Will Rock You are priced at £18 and are available via The Hafren’s website at www.thehafren.co.uk.
