There was a single Price Promise seat left for the Saturday night show in Edinburgh so I bought that. For £13 in the second row in the Stalls, you can't really go wrong. And it'll save me going all the way to Glasgow or Newcastle

I was watching on youtube on Christmas Day (I must have been bored) of Queen playing Live Aid at Wembley Stadium they came at 6pm, So didn’t have the headline billing and still daylight so didn’t have the massive lighting rig afforded to bands that played later, however this performance by Freddie Mercury and Queen went down as one of the best live performances ever, for no other reason that Freddie had a special pathos with the audience that no other showman had.
So with Freddie dying many years too early and would been alive today with advances in HIV medicine and relegating HIV/AIDS to a chronic condition, than a illness that kills you, through oppurtunistic illnesses. So a musical on Queen done very well, despite poor notices, the show ended up being so bad, ended up being quite entertaining.
No doubt the zeitgeist of Freddie Mercury lives on today.

Do we have any predictions with casting?
I know this will almost never happen, but Amy Ross as Scaramouche please.

Wouldn't surprise me if we saw some returning cast like we have done with previous tours.
i.e Lauren Samuels as Scaramouch
Brenda Edwards / Jenna Lee James as Killer Queen

It would be great to have Danielle Steers as ‘Killer Queen’ if she wanted to go back there properly

So apparently this has nothing to do with the original producers, this is a new tour with none of the same team. No casting notices seem to have been posted yet.

Looks like tour is being extended from the dates currently listed. Returning to the Theatre Royal Newcastle 15-20 June 2020. The first week in October is pretty much sold out.

We Will Rock You tour was scheduled to open at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley on Thursday 19 September running until Saturday 21 September. I had a booking for the opening night but I have received notification today that Thursday and Friday have both been cancelled " due to the technical challenges of launching a major new production ". The two Saturday performances are going ahead but sold out so my booking is being transferred to a return visit of We Will Rock You w/c Monday 1 June 2020 with a refund available if preferred.
As it happens the ticket was purchased for my son as I had already booked to see WWRY at Ipswich the following week when Bromley went on sale so not too much of a disappointment for me but I am surprised they would cancel two out of four performances in such a short run. There's no other show booked that week so presumably the company could have had access from the previous Sunday onwards.

Was this their location for tech runs/public dress rehearsals? 4 shows seems bonkers in the first place. |

The Jason Manford musical Curtains has a similar short run at the Churchill in October and that's from Friday to Sunday, also just 4 performances. Possibly to gain media attention at a venue close to London ? |

I wondered when they would announce the postponement, it hasn’t even been cast yet!

Hope I'm wrong but I've got a bad vibe about this revival It was on sale at Ipswich for a few weeks before any other dates announced, then a preceding very short run at Bromley now curtailed to one day, followed by a full tour schedule well into 2020 but information about the actual show is very late. |

Still nothing on this casting wise which does seem a little strange but don't think we can be too far off now. They had casting call backs mid June ish. Very intruiged by what this tour will be like. I do miss the show at the Dominion.

They had a bit of a hiccup with casting - last I heard they were searching for an Alternate Galileo so an announcement will probably come soon after he has been found. |

I hope in any casting announcement, these guys are considered for a role in the tour. A fantastic rendition of Bo Rap -

So, we now know Danielle Steers will not be Killer Queen since the SIX announcement. Can they just announce the tour cast already?

It seems to have been cast well. I was a maaaaassssive WWRY fanboy back in the day (saw it way too many times) so excited to see this.
