ABOUT THE SHOW
Set 300 years in the future on a globally standardized planet controlled by the monolithic Globalsoft Corporation, the world is a sterile place where individuality is outlawed, original thought is banned, and only computer-generated music exists. The story centers on Galileo Figero, an outcast who hears ancient, forbidden lyrics in his dreams (viewed as the "chosen one" from an ancient prophecy) and Scaramouche, a sarcastic, tough-talking rebel who refuses to conform. Together, they join the Bohemians—an underground group of outcasts who have renamed themselves after classic rock icons (like Britney Spears, David Bowie, and Ozzy Osbourne). Their goal is to defeat the sinister Killer Queen and her right-hand man, Khashoggi, and ultimately uncover the "Holy Grail" of rock—a hidden electric guitar.
