Following on from its local and international sold-out concerts in 2023 and early 2024 engagements abroad, the Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic tribute show returns to Joburg Theatre – but this time performing for the first time with a Rock Symphony Orchestra – in the iconic Mandela Theatre from 5 April to 14 April 2024. Celebrate the new year with a rockin’ night out. Tickets on sale at www.joburgtheatre.com

Big sound, large screens, crazy lighting, and outlandish costumes… it’s a real rock sensory experience! Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic is thrilled to be bringing sparkling new costuming and some previously never-performed Queen tracks to the stage on this tour, allowing die-hard fans to rock the night away.

Showtime Australia proudly introduces the South African musicians Warren Vernon-Driscoll performing lead vocals, guitar and piano live on stage in Freddie’s original key; Rusty Red takes on the famous guitar riffs of Brian May with Australians Ben Harper on drums and Zac Coombs on bass guitar.
The Rock Symphony Orchestra is excited to announce star Italian conductor Roberto Molinelli – who has collaborated with such artists as Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman, the Russian Philharmonic, and South Africa’s own Belinda Davids – performing for the first time ever in South Africa.
Get ready for a night of non-stop rock anthems including We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free, Somebody to Love, Don’t Stop Me Now, Another One Bites the Dust, A Kind of Magic, Bohemian Rhapsody and so many more. “There’s no shortage of legendary Queen songs in this tribute show and the strong vocals and powerful stage performance of Warren Vernon-Driscoll and highly talented musicians makes for an enjoyable Queen experience,” says Xoliswa Nduneni-Ngema, Chief Executive Officer at Joburg City Theatres. “Joburg Theatre is delighted to offer patrons the unique and exciting combination of rock musicians playing the songs of Queen and a symphony orchestra in not-to-be-missed performances.”
