We Will Rock You Extends in Toronto through July 8

The Queen musical We Will Rock You has extended its run at Toronto's Canon Theatre. The show has added 6 more weeks, and performances are extended to the summer until July 8, 2007. 
 
Set 300 years in the future, in a time when live music is banned on earth, We Will Rock You is about the kids who are in rebellion, fighting against the all-powerful Globalsoft Corporation that controls their lives and feeds them a diet of synthesised 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 Outloud) as the Killer Queen, Evan Buliung (The Lord Of The Rings) as Khashoggi, Jack Langedijk (Kiss of The Spider Woman, A Streetcar Named Desire), Sterling Jarvis (Disney's The Lion King) is Badass Britney and Suzie McNeil (who was the last woman standing on Rockstar: INXS) is Oz.
 
With Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors, the show is written and directed by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, The Beautiful Game 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 and Ed Mirvish and The Kimsa Group, in association with Queen Theatrical Productions, Phil McIntyre Entertainment and Tribeca Theatrical Productions, the show reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen's live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. We Will Rock You, now in its fifth sell-out year in London, has seen productions in Australia, Spain, Russia and South Africa and is presently playing in London, Switzerland, Germany, Japan and Spain.
