“Queen Extravaganza is a show especially designed to allow new fans, along with past fans, to celebrate Queen’s music at a breathtaking event, Taylor says. “It’s very spectacular, it’s very visual, there will be some shocks and some tremendous surprises. It will be a celebration of rock in the Royal tradition.”

Besides Taylor and May production, the show has been musically directed by long time Queen keyboard player Spike Edney, although he does not Tour with Queen Extravaganza. The show was projected by long time Queen creative team, Ric Lipson from Stufish and for the light designer Rob Sinclair
. The 90 minutes show, presents more than 20 Queen classics based on the band biggest hits: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Under Pressure,” “We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions,” “A Kind of Magic,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Somebody to Love,” e “Killer Queen” as well as other Queen successes.
