They Will Rock You: Queen Musical Cast Recording to Be Expanded for 10th Anniversary

September 13, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

For all their theatricality, it was only recently that Queen were commemorated with a full-blown musical. Now, in honor of the tenth anniversary of that endeavor, We Will Rock You, a newly-remastered and expanded edition of the original cast recording is due from Island in the United Kingdom.

Conceived by Queen and Ben Elton (a onetime stand-up comedian and television writer in the U.K.), We Will Rock You details the trials of youth in a dystopic future who rebel against rigid societal norms and unleash the power of - you guessed it! - the music of Queen. Sure, it sounds crazy, and critics never had much of a kind word for the production. But it still runs in the West End's Dominion Theater - the longest-running show at the largest venue in England's theater district - and has spun off around two dozen performing and touring companies across Europe, with a 10th anniversary arena tour set to begin in May 2013.

It's in that spirit that the We Will Rock You cast album is expanded, pairing a new remaster of the original London cast album with a bonus disc of recordings by various casts around the world, including exclusive bonus tracks and foreign-language recordings featured on Australian, German and Spanish cast albums and live performances by the British and German casts featuring Brian May and Roger Taylor themselves.

This new reissue is due out October 15 and can be ordered (as an import-only title) after the jump.
