Speaking of the upcoming 'We Will Rock You' show, Jeff Parry, president of Annerin Theatricals disclosed in a statement, "Annerin is proud to be able to produce We Will Rock You, and we are obviously lucky with our timing. This is a show I have wanted to produce since I first saw it in London. My vision was to be able to produce it in such a way that it plays in soft-seaters as well as cut-down arenas."
Hinting on the changes coming the shows way, Perry said, "I thought that Queen's musical was for everyone and not just the typical Broadway crowd, therefore we're producing it in a way that can accommodate most buildings and audiences that want to experience the music of Queen in a uniquely theatrical manner."
Queen enjoyed a massive popularity during the 2019 awards season with 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which was a film adaptation centered around the band's late front-man 'Freddie Mercury. Upon grabbing best film 'musical' at the Golden Globes, best actor wins for the film's lead character Rami Malek and an opening performance from the band at the Oscars.
