Maz Murray takes maternity leave from the 21st June 2010, having recently played the role of Killer Queen national touring production of We Will Rock You.
Brian May, the show’s co-creator and Queen guitarist said
We’re very happy that, while our wonderful Mazz Murray takes a break to have her baby, Brenda Edwards is to play Killer Queen for us in the Dominion theatre. Brenda is irrepressible, scary, funny and a killer singer. The lot! She delighted audiences on the We Will Rock You tour of Britain last year. I have no doubt that she will Rock the Dominion.
