Johnny Zatylny will amaze the audience with his vocal interpretation of the one-and-only Freddie Mercury of Queen. Mercury was no run-of-the-mill rocker. With his four-octave range, he could do it all from falsetto to baritone. His voice had an operatic quality and is not easily imitated. Zatylny is one of the few who can almost match Mercury note for note.
The audience will revel in the visual and audio experience of this Queen tribute with hits like “We Are the Champions,” We Will Rock You,” Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Somebody to Love,” and “Another One Bites the Dust.”
