Interview with Ian McIntosh
Ian: It's a toss-up between two actually. The first was during rehearsals. It was the final run-through before tech week, and the room was barely large enough to have the mock set in and an additional line of chairs along the front reserved for Brian May and Roger Taylor. At the last minute, director Ben Elton invited his good friend Emma Thompson and her family to watch. We went on with the run, and we were literally 2 feet away from all these legends of music, TV, and film. No pressure, right?
The second one was when Brian May joined us on stage for Bohemian Rhapsody. I'll never forget the hysteria in the audience as I passed on my vocal over to him, and he unleashed his Red Special. I felt things in places I'd never felt before that night. It still gives me tingles just thinking about it!
Ian: Killer Queen, without a shadow of a doubt. Mostly for the corset...no, seriously it’s such a powerful and comical role with amazing songs.
Ian: The one where Gaz and Scara get married. Ha. As if, I don’t think that’s quite their style!
Ian: I’d like to see Galileo and Strat from Bat Out Of Hell have lunch together. Two misfit rock stars having avocado and eggs on sourdough. I think they’d get each other and they’d make one hell of a powerful duo!
Ian: Well, the smell of flowers in the air is always a telltale sign. A sign for me to get the anti-histamines out! Not many things worse than having to navigate hay fever on stage in a love scene. Achoo!
Ian: Sneezing aside, I love a good early morning walk, when the sun is shining down and giving life to all the beautiful architecture London has to offer. Can’t help but smile from the inside out on those days!
