Happy Birthday Freddie Mercury
QUEEN ITS A KINDA MAGIC
The late and great Freddie Mercury is still loved to this day by his many fans worldwide. September 5 would have marked Freddie Mercury's 61st birthday.
Currently touring New Zealand is the internationally acclaimed stage show QUEEN ITS A KINDA MAGIC starring Craig Pesco as Freddie.
This production has electrified audiences in France, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Germany, Dubai, Canada, United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
Interest in Queen has never been higher, with Queen upstaging The Beatles as the "Greatest British Band of all time (BBC Radio 2 poll, 2007).
Craig Pesco's performance and presence in this theatrical production is so close to the real thing that Freddie's trusted personal assistant, confidante and biographer Peter Freestone has given it his personal thumbs up:
"...the excitement, the personality and theatrical experience that was Freddie live! I have not seen another show in the world do it better, their name is well deserved, they truly are A Kinda Magic."
~ Peter Freestone, 2005
