Following overwhelming demand, the world's premier Queen tribute, Queen "“ It's A Kinda Magic, will return to Australia, taking fans back to the glory days of Freddie Mercury and his iconic band Queen.
Capturing the imagination of Queen fans both locally and internationally, Director Johnny Van Grinsven attributes the show's continued success to the attention-to-detail; everything from the costumes, instruments and even the lighting cues have been designed to replicate those seen in real Queen concerts.
Making Queen "“ It's A Kinda Magic extraordinarily authentic is the close consultation of Peter Freestone, Freddie Mercury's best friend, biographer, assistant and constant companion for the final 12 years of his life. Freestone has schooled the cast and producers on the characters and nuances of the original band in order to perfect the performance.
"We're extremely lucky to have Peter involved. He knows Freddie and the boys so well; his knowledge about who they are and how they moved and played and even their sense of humour has really helped take this show to the next level," says Van Grinsven.
The show recreates Queen's 1986 World Tour concert and features all of the band's greatest hits performed live including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions and Fat-Bottomed Girls, along with a few obscure Queen tracks that die-hard fans will truly appreciate.
The UK's Giles Taylor takes on the lead role of Freddie Mercury with support from Australians Richie Baker as Brian May on guitar and Kyle Thompson as Roger Taylor on drums, as well as South Africa's Steven Dennett as John Deacon on bass.
