BRENDA EDWARDS is currently starring in Queen and Ben Elton’s sensational smash-hit show ‘We Will Rock You’ at the London Coliseum.
Edwards told The Voice Newspaper that being able to pursue her long held passion of performing in musical theatre is extremely rewarding and she’s grateful for every opportunity.
“My singing started from church which is another theatre. It’s exactly the same, the acoustics are amazing. I love things like that. Ahead of the strictly limited 12-week season, which ends on August 27. Edwards said she was looking forward to getting her teeth into the role. A handful of rock rebels, the Bohemians, fight against the all powerful Globalsoft company and its boss, the Killer Queen; they fight for freedom, individuality and the rebirth of the age of rock.
“That’s why she is the CEO of Global Soft who are responsible for everything that is going on in the iPlanet 300 years in the future, where people are told you will do this and you will do that, you will do as I say.There’s an obvious pressure that comes with delivering Freddie Mercury classics but pressure is something Edwards has dealt with from the first moment she stepped on to a musical theatre stage.
“I have to make these songs relatable to people like how they all know and love them in some way but still bring my own flavour. That was pressure.“My next role was Carousel at the English National Opera House and I played the role of Nettie. That was pressure for me because it was an operatic score and I’m a soul gospel singer. I put myself under pressure because I don’t sing opera but it was nice that the producers and Directors, they were happy for my soul voice to be used.
For this current role, even though she was familiar with the narrative, Edwards says she still felt compelled to bring a fresh take. “The fact that Ben has gone through to write and change up some things that’s what made me feel like I wanted to bring something different to the character that I’ve already played.”
