Suzanne Chessler I Contributing Writer N ate Patten — like his late cousin, Jewish theater veter- an and Tony nominee Bruce Adler — keeps up a family tradition but takes it in a new direction: rock. Patten is touring as music direc- tor of We Will Rock You, a play built around 24 songs made famous by the British rock band Queen. The show runs April 1-13 at the Fisher Theatre. "This play is the closest thing to a Queen concert but still a completely original theater piece says Patten, 30, in a phone conversation from the road. "This is unlike anything I have ever done before. I've mostly done theatrical productions but never one as much of a rock show. The entire band is on stage:' The play, which features hits such as "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love takes place in a future age on a planet, once called Earth, which is now controlled by a mighty corporation. Globalization is complete, and individuality is taboo. The hope of breaking free rests with an alliance of rebel bohemians waiting for a hero to lead the battle that would bring power back to the people. The show, created by British come- dian and writer Ben Elton, who has German Jewish heritage on his father's side, has been updated and rewritten for American audiences. "I was familiar with many of the big hits before I joined the show but learned a number of songs that are a little more obscure Patten explains. "I found them just as good as the ones everybody knows:' Patten, who grew up in New Jersey and is now based in New York, also knows Michigan. He did a bus-and- truck tour around the state in 2009, working with a production of The Wizard of Oz. With a background of piano lessons that began as he started school, Patten played rehearsal piano in theater pro- grams at the University of Virginia, where he majored in Spanish and minored in theater. "I spent the majority of my time doing theater even though my major was something else he explains. "I wanted to learn theater without having it as my main focus of study. "I think music directing is one of those things really learned by doing and working with other people who know how to do it. Once I got in the professional world, I really started meeting and working with experienced music directors. I learned from them and figured out how to do it by paying attention to the way they worked:' Patten, who played piano in the Broadway orchestra of Catch Me If You Can, has conducted Silence the Musical, The Toxic Avenger and Flashdance. "In addition to having iconic songs, We Will Rock You is laugh-out-loud funny with a message and a lot of heart behind it," says Patten, working with an eight-piece band that includes three keyboards, two guitars, bass, drums and percussions. "I think it's great that there will be an actual concert tour, "Queen + Adam Lambert:' coming to Michigan this summer. (Adam Lambert, who is Jewish, will be lead vocalist, standing in for the late Freddie Mercury, for the July 12 concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills. For tickets, go to the website www.livenation.com.) "Anything that gets this music out to people is great. If that show brings iconic songs to a new, younger audi- ence, I'm all about it:' ❑ We Will Rock You runs April 1-13 at the Fisher Theatre in Detroit. Performances are at 8 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturday, 2 p.m. Saturdays-Sundays and 7:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets start at $35. (313) 872-1000; broadwayindetroit.com .
