I saw this show approximately 20 years ago in Toronto. Loved it then, loved it now. I loved the little changes to some of the lyrics to modernize the song to fit with the times. The singing was overall very good though some of the music washed out the vocals, but very rarely. I would see this show again. Very proud that it is an Alberta production.
The terrace seats were awesome, and the performance was incredible. The voices of Scaramoush and Galileo were amazing. Enjoyed the humour, and the underlying message about the state of our cyberworld. And of course, there is nothing better than hearing Queen!!
Wonderful show. Great fun, singers were better than anything I could have expected.
This was nothing like I was expecting. It's not just a Queen musical it is a Rock Musical. I never wanted to end. When it finished with an encore of Bohemian Rhapsody, I was in tears ! The fact this a Calgary made show and almost 50% local talent just makes it a must see.
The storyline and singer voices were ok. The lead male voice was excellent. The lead female was good. Sad that so few really well known pieces were skipped over. There were Only three songs in total that were included in an abridged version. The singer for Fat Bottomed Girls did not do the song justice. It should have been a male.
-was disappointed with some soloists and most of the costumes
Loved this show!!! What great talent- especially the vocals! Wow so full of energy ! We were all impressed! We knew that they story was a bit cheesy and were delighted with the puns and plays on words as its so lighthearted! The band and actors really put on a great show! Go see it!
Amazing singers, such a good show. If you love Queen you will love this show.
This performance was witty, upbeat and an absolute riot! Cast have unbelievable talent! The entire show was a toe tapping sing in your seat delighted! Bravo!
Great show! I am a big Queen fan and the show does them proud! Without giving anything away they remind us of how awesome Freddie Mercury was/is and there is a hint of magical curly haired guitarist that we all know and love!!! The cast and crew did a great job, they keep you entertained the whole time!
The lead vocals were totally awesome - and the cast was as well. I was totally impressed with Brian May's selections for the Leads and the cast - Totally impressed! I'd see it again if they come back to Calgary! I never did see Freddy in 1975 at the Jubilee as others had. Trevor Coll and Keri Kelly Killed it!! And of course all the YYC ensemble were terrific!
Excellent work by a mostly-local (Calgary!) director, cast, and crew. Super singing, an interesting storyline to tie the songs together, lots of humour, and some impressive choreography. Very well done - should join the ranks of the long-time touring musicals as a must-see! Plus, the re-worked Queen songs were spot-on in terms of lyrics (new and original) and execution!
Overall this was a delightful transport into past and future. We read the story before and that helped. Everything was awesome except the Killer Queen who’s interpretation and voice did not fit with the rest of the style. So that spoilt it a bit. The patrons sitting behind us talked loudly the whole time which added to the frustration. Setting that aside, it was a wonderful evening and a very talented Calgary.
We attended the show in Calgary last Saturday. We were impressed with the number of Queen songs that were showcased. The references to other songs and artists were really funny. The cast did a great job in interacting with the audience and making us feel like we were really part of rocking out with Queen. The fact that they were local artists made it even better. We were proud of the local talent. Thank you.
While the singers were good, this was not a performance we expected. As Queen fans we were expecting something along the lines of a rock tribute, not a story set in the future with changed lyrics to iconic songs. Guess we should of read more about it, before buying tickets.
I have attended many events at the Jube and always enjoyed the sound, largely because the building is acoustically designed and re-designed. I have even seen a Queen tribute band in the same venue. I found the overall sound to be muted and muffled, particulsrly from the band. Some of the vocals were chrisp and clear but others were mixed so poorly that the words could barely be made out. For a production that has been touring for some time, I would have expected the sound to have been much better, especially for a performance of such iconic music.
Was not impressed with the story line-futuristic and song choices for the first half were not great. Liked the second half better
Great to know that this show was born in Calgary. Fabulous musicians, actors and singers.
This was a fantastic show!! Loved every bit of the music, performance, stage...I loved it all! But the VIP component was rushed and didn’t feel that special. All and all I would see it again.
Well performed show, super exciting super energetic....great music would go see it again
