Recreating Queen’s 1986 World Tour concert, the show 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. Careful attention has been paid to all the music – the voice of Mercury, the guitar solos of May and the rock harmonies – plus audiences can expect all the big sound, lighting, effects and costumes of a full-scale rock concert.

The show is expected to be a hit for promoters Showtime Australia, who promoted The Greatest Love of All – The Whitney Houston Show that played at Artscape earlier this year.

Queen - It’s a Kinda Magic has attracted the attention, endorsement and eventual involvement of Peter Freestone, who was Freddie Mercury’s best friend, neighbour, biographer and personal assistant for 12 years.

After reviewing the show while in Singapore in 2007, Freestone contacted promoter John van Grinsven with his compliments. A friendship ensued and Freestone now tours with Queen – It’s a Kinda Magic where his schedule allows, acting as a production consultant for the show, as well as signing autographs and chatting with Queen fans.

Englishman Giles Taylor takes on the role of Freddie Mercury, with support from Australians Richie Baker as Brian May on guitar, and Kyle Thompson as Roger Taylor on drums, and South Africa’s Steven Dennett as John Deacon on bass.
