Marjolein Teepen in 'We Will Rock You'


Since I was a kid, I have had two favourite bands: Kayak and Queen. There are a couple of parallels between the two, and on friday 3 september 2010, another parallel was added...

Marjolein Teepen joined Kayak in 2005 for the 'Nostradamus'-tour. Five years later, she was chosen as one of the leading players in the Dutch version of the Queen-musical 'We Will Rock You'. I was there at the première on 3 september, where Queen-guitarist Brian May joined her and the rest of the cast on stage. So, Marjolein has the honour of being the only person who has collaborated with Jeroen Kooistra's two most loved bands...
