We're giving our members the chance to WIN one of two double passes to Queen: It's a Kinda Magic at the State Theatre on Saturday 29th July, 7.00pm!The world's premier Queen tribute show, Queen: It's A Kinda Magic takes 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 characteristics 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 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.Taylor said, "The show is effectively a visual montage of Queens best live performances. It is designed to cater for die-hard Queen fans, newbies to the Queen scene and your average rock music fan. When people come to the show we aim to have them leaving with the perception that they have just seen the real Queen live. The painstaking attention to detail from the costumes to the insane lighting and visual show is really something to behold and something that Queen themselves would have done in their heyday.""I've not seen another act in the world do it better." - Peter FreestoneTo go into the draw, all you have to do is send an email titled ' Queen: It's a Kinda Magic' to [email protected] and let us know in 25 words or less why you want to see this hugely popular show.
