Theatre burns down but WE WILL ROCK YOU will still open in Seoul, South Korea!

“A fire broke out last night in the Opera House at the Seoul Arts Center, about 15 minutes into a performance of Puccini's La Bohème by the National Opera of Korea. Smoke quickly filled the Opera Theater, the house's largest auditorium, and some 2,400 audience members, performers and theater staff were evacuated, according to The Korea Times. While no one was seriously injured, about 60 people were treated for smoke inhalation at a nearby hospital”
