The first time I experienced this musical was at a small school production last year and I fell in love with it there and then. So seeing it London’s Dominion Theatre last week in the front row was a luxury.
The cast were fantastically enthusiastic and the singing was incredible. It was visually captivating with the creative use of staging, choreography, and costume as well as lighting which gave the illusion a Queen concert. And my excitement only heightened when a large piece of staging lifted out of the floor and rotated over me whilst actors belted out the classical tunes.
Special commendation should go to Ricado Afonso for the lead role of eccentric Galileo, to Sarah French as the bold Scaramouch and to Brenda Edwards who played the flamboyant Killer Queen.
My experience has made it obvious why the show is in its 9th year at the Dominion Theatre – it is truly an exciting and musically gripping experience.
