Ayesa said: ‘I have been performing the music of Queen for over a decade now, ever since I first joined the London cast of We Will Rock You, but I have never heard it performed quite like this.
‘The marriage of orchestras and rock bands is a recipe for musical nirvana when it comes to the music of Queen. It is already rich with melodrama and the orchestrations just bring it to a new level.
