AYREON'S
"The Human Equation Theater Experience" announced
|
Nearly 6000 Ayreon fans from
49 different countries will flock to Rotterdam (NL) this September to witness
the once-in-a-lifetime theater production 'The Theater Equation' based on
Ayreon's The Human
Equation. The album's original vocalists James
LaBrie, Devon Graves, Heather Findlay, Eric Clayton, Marcela
Bovio, Magnus Ekwall and Irene Jansen will reprise their roles on 18th,
19th and 20th of September in the nieuwe Luxor theater. Rounding
out the cast are Ayreon veterans Wudstik, Anneke van Giersbergen
and Mike Mills.
For years fans of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's
rock operas have begged for a live performance. The creative team of
Shadow Freaks, a theater production company lead by Lucassen's former
manager Yvette Boertje, now answers that call by staging a fan
favorite; 'The
Human Equation'.
The Human Equation tells the story of
comatose man who battles his emotions that have come to life in a
frightening and bizarre world: his own mind. After a 20-day emotional
rollercoaster ride filled with good and bad memories, shocking
revelations and hope-filled desires, the man has to make a decision:
wake up or die?
The band features some
of Lucassen's finest guest musicians: Ed Warby, Johan van Stratum,
Jeroen Goossens, Ben Mathot and Maaike Peterse. Joost van den Broek is
music director and arranger for the band that also features Marcel
Coenen, Freek Gielen, Erik van Ittersum and Ruben Wijga. The Epic Rock
Choir, assembled especially for this show, will bring an extra dimension
to this production as a finishing touch.
The Theater Equation's
spectacular cast, band, stage design and costumes promise to turn this
production into the prog event of 2015! The first three shows sold out
so fast, that a fourth (and final) show was added later. Tickets
for this show are available now via www.thetheaterequation.com
