The Stevenage Lytton Youth Theatre is excited to announce auditions for our 2026 production of We Will Rock You, the hit Queen musical.

This production is open to our Inters and Seniors groups (Years 6 - 17 years old) offering young performers the chance to take part in a full-scale youth theatre production in Hertfordshire.

About the Production – We Will Rock You

Set in a dystopian future where live music has been banned, We Will Rock You follows a group of rebels (the Bohemians) fighting to restore creativity and live music to the world.

This high-energy show combines rock vocals, comedy, and strong ensemble work, making it ideal for young performers who enjoy musical theatre and working as part of a team.
