The Sunshine Coast is set to rock like never before with the highly anticipated production of We Will Rock You, a live theatrical show that brings the legendary music of Queen to life set for three big nights from 4-6 October at The Station Birtinya.
Local duo Nicole Kaminski and Madi Lee are the dynamic duo behind Coastal Theatre Collective who undertook their highly successful debut production A Chorus Line earlier this year and said their latest show will showcase an outstanding cast from across Australia as well as a number of talented local performers.
“We are thrilled to have secured the rights to produce this amazing production in our own backyard here on the Sunshine Coast. We have an outstanding cast and there is a wealth of untapped talent locally so we’re excited to provide a platform for these performers to shine.
“This production of We Will Rock You is not just a show, it’s a celebration of Queen’s incredible music, energy, and the incredible talent to bring it all to life,” Madi said.
The production features a stellar cast of 14 vocalists, five dancers, and a live six-piece rock band, all working together to deliver an immersive experience. We’ve got an amazing cast including locals such as Cat Deller and Ally Hickey who take on lead roles, while another local Kirra Johnston who has a rich background in theatre, dance and burlesque, is set to dazzle audiences as a key cast member.
Kirra shares, “Performing in my hometown is a dream come true. It’s incredible to see the arts scene here growing, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”
The show promises to deliver all the classic rock anthems we know and love, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, We Are The Champions, and of course, We Will Rock You. With such an iconic setlist, audiences should be prepared to sing along and dance in their seats.
Madi will co-direct and choreograph the production and said the goal is to bring a high level of performance and excitement to the Sunshine Coast community.
“We are confident that We Will Rock You will rival the big productions you’d see in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne. We’ve worked hard to assemble a cast that includes not only local talent but also interstate performers who are eager to wow our audiences over three big nights,” Madi said.
The Station Birtinya has built a solid reputation for hosting outstanding music performances since it reopened earlier this year and Nicole said she was keen to see it transform into the world of Queen for this production.
“With food trucks, bars, and an electric atmosphere, it’s the perfect setting for a night out. It’s more than just a show; it’s an experience which will truly rock you,” Nicole said.
