“With Adam Lambert handling the vocals with aplomb, the rockers offer priceless mementoes of the band’s glory days.”

“A dazzling arena show that toed the line of nostalgia and renewed purpose.”

“With his sequined military coats, gold brocade suits and charmingly flamboyant stage presence, Lambert was a living homage to Mercury, without trying to overstep him.”

“What could have turned into a eulogy instead became a living memorial for all that Queen was and continues to be as a cultural cornerstone.”

“For Queen, the show not only goes on but does so stupendously.”
