Last week, we were thrilled to be able to head to Williamsburg to see London Rocks.
London Rocks is Busch Gardens’ 2014 musical highlight show. It is inside a beautiful auditorium in the England section near the main entrance of the park in Williamsburg. They have workers in classical English dress standing outside drawing people into the shows. You can even pick up free tickets to one of the several show times throughout the day, if you want to plan to come back to England later.

There are aspects of the show that appeal to all ages. Our whole family enjoyed an opportunity to get inside for a short time out of the sun to sit down, relax and enjoy a great show after hours of fun on the park’s attractions. The old timers like me recognized a lot of the songs coming from England featured in the show.
We heard things like “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” by the Beatles, and some of the classics from The Who, David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, etc. The kids were humming and signing some of these tunes weeks afterward. One their favorites was “We Will Rock You” by Queen. The kids are dancing around the house singing “We will, we will ROCK YOU!”

The show is a medley of classic British Rock and Roll sung by a large and talented cast. The kids and I enjoyed watching them dance around stage, while they sang. There were numerous set piece changes, as well as costume changes in London Rocks.
There were many impressive visual effects, including a silly video presentation of the Queen making funny comments on the music. The show even included the smells of strawberries to accompany the performance of “Strawberry Field Forever” by the Beatles.

In the end, our family left with smiles on our faces, and the thump of “London Rocks” in our ears. I highly recommend going to London Rocks at Busch Gardens Williamsburg!
