X Factor‘s Brenda Edwards to Play Killer Queen in West End We Will Rock You

Former X Factor finalist Brenda Edwards assume the role of Killer Queen in the West End cast of We Will Rock You, playing at the Dominion Theatre, on June 21, according to a report on Whatsonstage.com. Edwards, who will play a limited ten-week season starting on June 21, will be replacing Mazz Murray, who will be departing for maternity leave.

Edwards will be joining a company that also features Peter Murphy (Galileo), Sabrina Aloueche (Scaramouche), Louise Bowden (Meat), Ian Carlyle (Britney), Garry Lake (Pop), and Alex Bourne (Khasoggi).

With a book by Ben Elton, the show uses 32 of Queen’s greatest hits to tell the story of a world in which globalization has meant the death of real music in favor of computer-produced cyber stars, a status quo which the rebel Bohemians, harking back to the Golden Age of rock (embodied by Queen), are trying to overthrow so that they can write and perform their own music.

Among her other stage credits are Chicago, Carmen Jones, and Brenda’s Gospel Christmas.
