WWRY Comes to Empire

Currently playing to packed audiences in Manchester at the Palace Theatre, the UK tour of the smash hit Queen and Ben Elton musical, We Will Rock You
returns to the Northwest next September at the Liverpool Empire. Featuring Noel Sullivan, Ian Reddington and
Leon Lopez – this is the second visit to Manchester, but the first time in Liverpool.

The cast for Manchester
features former Hearsay member Noel Sullivan, who recently starred as Danny in Grease in the West End. He is playing the
part of ‘Galileo’, the nervous boy who must become a bohemian hero to
help save the future of rock music.

Alongside Noel is Sheffield actor Ian Reddington, who is one of the only people to have featured in two major roles in both Eastenders and Coronation Street
as Richard Cole aka Tricky Dicky and Vernon Tomlin respectively. He
is performing the role ‘Pop’, a librarian who is stuck in his ‘hippie’
past and is searching to find answers to the end of rock music, whilst
former Brookside star Leon Lopez heads up the bohemians as their leader ‘Britney.’

We Will Rock You is currently the Palace Theatre until 15 January and it visits Liverpool from 6 September – 9 October, 2011.
