Erica Peck Returns To WE WILL ROCK YOU At Panasonic Theatre 5/29

WE WILL ROCK YOU star Erica Peck returns to the Panasonic Theatre this Friday, May 29, for the final four weeks of the run.

Erica Peck returns to Toronto and WE WILL ROCK YOU after a 6 week leave-of-absence to star - to critical and audience acclaim - in the Manitoba Theatre Centre's hit production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Ben Elton's new musical THE BOYS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH.

Erica made her professional stage debut as Scaramouche, the lippy heroine of WE WILL ROCK YOU, at Toronto's Canon Theatre two and half years ago. What began as a limited seven-week engagement turned into an almost unstoppable juggernaut of entertainment that will have played 788 performances in two different theatres and been seen by an audience of one million by its final performance on June 28, 2009.

It has been an incredible experience for Erica, to star in the immensely popular, all-Canadian, Dora Award-winning WE WILL ROCK YOU - Toronto's longest-running musical - after being discovered, an unknown, at an open casting call almost two and a half years ago!

Says Erica: "What an honor to now again be part of such a hugely popular success, a show that kick-started my career and made rock and roll part of Toronto's live theatre scene. I'm so proud that I can finish what I began with my co-stars so many months ago. We've grown and learned together, now we'll all tie this mother down for one more month!"

Erica will reprise her role as Mary McGuire when THE BOYS IN THE PHOTOGRAPH makes it Toronto debut at the Royal Alexandra Theatre from October 20 through November 29, 2009, replacing JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT in the 2009/2010 Mirvish Theatre Subscription Season.

Set 300 years in the future, in a time when live music is banned on earth, WE WILL ROCK YOU is about the rebellious kids, fighting against the all-powerful Globalsoft Corporation that controls their lives and feeds them a diet of synthesized pop. Could the young Galileo and Scaramouche be the heroes needed who will help them "break free" of their chains to rediscover themselves and live music?

The all-Canadian cast features Yvan Pedneault as Galileo, Erica Peck as Scaramouche, Alana Bridgewater (Menopause Out Loud) as the Killer Queen, Camilla Scott (Mamma Mia!, Crazy For You) as Khashoggi, Jack Langedijk (Kiss of The Spiderwoman, A Streetcar Named Desire) as Pop, Sterling Jarvis (Disney's The Lion King) as Duff and Valerie Stanois as Oz.

With Brian May and Roger Taylor as Music Supervisors, WE WILL ROCK YOU is written and directed by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, The Boys in the Photograph and Popcorn) and features 32 of Queen's greatest hits. Mark Fisher, Production Designer, and Willie Williams, Lighting Designer, have created set designs for Pink Floyd, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones and U2. Tim Goodchild is Costume Designer and Arlene Phillips (Starlight Express, Grease and Saturday Night Fever) is Choreographer. Bobby Aitken (The Boyfriend, The Fix, Return to the Forbidden Planet, Grease and Mamma Mia!) is Sound Designer.

Produced by David Mirvish and The Kimsa Group, in association with Queen Theatrical Productions, Phil Mcintyre Entertainment and Tribeca Theatrical Productions, WE WILL ROCK YOU reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen's live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. The Toronto production won the 2007 Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best Musical.
