The Show Must Go On (with new cast members)!
Another one bites the dust, well another five bite the dust – as a whole host of new cast members join the London production of We Will Rock You!! As the smash hit rocks into its seventh year in the West End, only Killer Queen and Khashoggi are still played by the same actors… with Galileo, Scaramouche, Pop, Badass Britney and Meat all being replaced!!
The changes took place yesterday (October 1st) so if you have seen the new cast at the Dominion, drop me a comment and let us know how they did… I am keen to hear your opinions and see if the new cast can maintain the high standards.
Richard Afonso will take on the role of Galileo with Lain Gray replacing the previous Badass Britney, both having performed in We Will Rock You lower down the cast list! These two must be feeling under pressure having watched from a safer position as others performed the roles so well – but let’s hope they step up create a kind of magic for the crowds to remember forever.
If you’ve got any information about the other cast members or any We Will Rock You news, let me know and share it with the other theatre fans!!
Take a look at the ORIGINAL and THE BEST – Freddie Mercury and Queen performing We Will Rock You at Live Aid. This was the greatest rock performance by any band in the history of music… feel free to disagree but you will be wrong and i will not take you seriously!!
Have now seen WE WILL ROCK YOU twice and each time I left the theater wanting to book again! This show is fantastic and the cast are all excellent and incredibly talented. Richard Afonso took on a difficult role, but I am pleased to say he has more than done justice to the role of Gallileo Figaro – he has made it his! The fact that the audience can’t fail to participate
(whether you’re a Queen fan or not) is neither here nor there – you get dragged in – no one leaves without a smile (and a hoarse voice!). If I were to give it a rating, it would definitely get 10/10 (if not more!)
