Legend has it that Galileo holds the key to saving music but the Bohemians must find him before the police do! If they fail, the world will be subjected to electronic tunes for eternity. Following the success of the The Witches of Eastwick, Motherwell College's HND Musical Theatre students are proud to present We Will Rock You.
