Joseph says: “It is an absolute honour to perform as Freddie and we are delighted that Freddie’s family see us as an authentic Queen tribute.”
Backed by the trademark stack of Vox AC30s, Glenn Scrimshaw coaxes the iconic rocking riffs, channelling the melodic genius of Brian May in distinctive style. The band provides impossibly tight harmonies and venue-moving beats for an unforgettable night of music.
All the hits are here including the most popular Queen tunes such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Radio Ga Ga, We Are the Champions, We Will Rock You and many more. This state-of-the-art production will captivate die-hard Queen fans who were there the first time around and new generations of rock fans alike.

Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
