QUEEN It's A Kinda Magic headed to the U.S. to begin their U.S. concert tour

After conquering stages across the globe, Queen – It’s A Kinda Magic arrives in the U.S.A. The U.S. tour launches on Friday, Sept. 28th at Sacramento Community Center in Sacramento, CA. During 2005-2006, the production electrified audiences in France, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Germany, Dubai, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines, capturing the hearts of over 250,000 Queen fans.

In 2007, interest in Queen has never been higher, with Queen upstaging The Beatles as the “greatest British band of all time” (BBC Radio 2 poll, 2007). Now Queen – It’s A Kinda Magic returns to once again take audiences back in time to re-live the energy, excitement and theatrics of Freddie Mercury and the greatest ROCK band in the world, Queen!

With 21st century sound and lighting, and a cast that takes magnetism to new heights, this theatrical event creates the 1986 world tour of Freddie Mercury and Queen, taking audiences back in time to experience the passion of Freddie Mercury, the amazing guitar solos of Brian May, the thundering rhythms of Roger Taylor and all those unbelievable Queen harmonies.

Almost 20 years since Freddie Mercury and Queen last performed, this international phenomenon has garnered rave reviews around the globe:

“Queen It’s a Kinda Magic’s portrayal of Freddie Mercury and Queen was flawless… With a standing ovation to a much loved classic "Bohemian Rhapsody" the crowd, many having a feeling of deja vu of days gone by, left feeling as though they had been ‘mercurized’!”
~ Toronto Sun, CANADA, Sept 2006

The stage performance and presence of Mercury in this production is so close to the real thing that Freddie’s trusted personal assistant, confidante and biographer Peter Freestone has given it his personal thumbs up:

“The thrill, the excitement, the personality and theatrical experience that was Freddie live! I have not seen another show in the world do it better, their name is well deserved,
they truly are A Kinda Magic."
~ Peter Freestone, 2005

Queen – It's A Kinda Magic features over 20 original Queen hits including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody, Fat Bottom Girls, We Are the Champions and many more.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if the legendary Freddie Mercury was with us today, we’re sure he’d agree that the outstanding Queen – It’s A Kinda Magic… was a worthy homage”
~ Masala, DUBAI, 2006

If you haven’t seen this theatrical production, based on the sellout 1986 Queen World Tour, then you haven’t completed your “Queenology”. Bringing back to the rock stage all the electric energy, vibrant costumes and homemade sound that is Queen, including the iconic “Freddie Prance” in a manner that will transport even the hardest critic back to a time when Queen ruled the rock circuit.

“The fact it has nearly sold out every show on its North American tour speaks volumes about its caliber of accuracy and the dedication of Queen fans worldwide”
~ Seattle Post Intelligencer, Sept 2005

Queen fans young and old worldwide hail Queen – Its A Kinda Magic as the “resurrection of the greatest band ever”. This moveable feast of true rock reminds us of a time when live performance meant bands with instruments and a lead singer that rocked you over and over:

“The atmosphere was nothing short of electric and the costumes were faultless…
one of the most energetic performances Dubai has ever seen. Rock on!”
~ Masala, DUBAI, 2006

This theatrical production of designers, cast, crew and technicians is as close as you’ll ever get to the real thing. The magic and pulse that Queen – Its A Kinda Magic delivers to its audiences has created a new buzz and even newer fans of the original band who weren’t around for the 1986 Queen World Tour.

“Queen has left a legacy that we will always remain devoted to
and I can’t believe we can still see it live on stage,”
~ Audience fan, State Theatre, SYDNEY 2005
