Kerry Ellis

Sir Brian May described Kerry Ellis as having ‘the most beautiful voice in Britain.’ So he asked her to sing Queen’s greatest hits in the smash hit musical, We Will Rock You. The duo met in 2002 and released three albums together, as well as touring the world. Rock anthems were the inspiration for award-winning singer Kerry Ellis, who is one of the greatest stars of musical theatre. And in this new show, she will explore her love of Rock Anthems as she pays homage to Queen, Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler and the other rock legends who inspired her. Ellis will sing a juke box full of classic rock anthems. She Will, She Will, Rock You.
