Cue lots of people all round - выстроить\собрать\создать очередь повсюду.

[johnstephenson]

Yes, it's a figurative expression based on a film/theatre director's instructions to the actors/musicians/others taking part in the film/theatre production, as in:

* 'Cue Hamlet!'

* 'Cue dancers!'

* 'Cue music!'

etc.

As a figurative term, 'Cue x' means 'x will now follow' or 'Following this, x will happen', as in Aiduza's examples above.
