To honour what would have been Freddie Mercury’s 65th birthday next month, the Dominion Theatre is to host a special tea party for fans and those heading to watch We Will Rock You.
The event is an homage to the flamboyant singer’s 40th birthday in 1986, when he threw a summer garden party at his home in London and invited his friends and family to come along and wear a hat.
As a result, the Dominion is to open its doors between 12:00 and 17:00 BST on September 5th 2011 in order for people to remember him, eat cake and sandwiches and raise money for Aids charity the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
Poignantly, there will be footage of Queen with Mercury as the frontman playing on a video wall while visitors sip coffee and tea.
They can also take a look at memorabilia including his childhood stamp collection, collated by the British Postal Museum & Archive.
It is likely that the performance of We Will Rock You that night will see plenty of audience members still in costumes.
The musical was recently given an extension and will now be booking until March 24th 2012.
