The Music of Queen

Loved concert but other concert attendees should have stayed in the seats they paid for! I paid for 2 front row seats and 3 others from upper seats came down and took our front row seats while we went to the restroom! I paid for my seats and did not appreciate these 3 concert goers!!!!

Wonderful music! His voice was spot on, and the harmonies were amazing. I'd have gone the next night if there had been another performance. I will go to any similar performance in the future.

Great job! We really enjoyed the take on Queen. Muscians very talented.

Enjoyed my evening at Bellearye watching the "Music of Queen" with symphony. Outstanding job by all. I have to say of all the Queen shows I've witnessed over the past couple years, this was the best! Great atmosphere and loved being on top of the mountain under the night sky watching Brody do his Freddie Mercury moves.

The setting was warm and cozy. The orchestra was wonderful. The opening National Anthem and tribute the orchestra played was the highlight. When the band played the harder rock songs it was great. However there was a little too much slow stuff.

This performance is not a Queen impersonation band and does not include a Freddie Mercury impersonator. What it does include is superb music and is an excellent dedication to the music of Queen and the singing of Freddie Mercury. The performance of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra was, as usual, exceptional. Under the direction of Brent Havens the orchestra was right on the mark on all songs and he brought some levity to the show from time to time. Lead singer Brody Dolyniuk has a superb voice and is an excellent singer and he did a great job in bringing the music of Queen to the audience. He isn't Freddie Mercury and he doesn't profess to be able to sing like him but his singing came as close to Mercury's performance as I have heard and seen. His dedication to Mercury throughout the evening was very humble and appropriate. He was very active, coming out into the audience from time to time and he also provided a number of comedic moments throughout the evening. The best song of the night was "Who Wants to Live Forever". The symphony was highlighted and superb and Dolyniuk nailed the vocals as well as I have ever heard except for the great Freddie Mercury. A very enjoyable performance of nearly 2 hours including a short intermission. Highly recommended!

The Music of Queen had four vocalists, and the four of them together weren't a patch on Freddie. The Columbus Symphony Orchestra was terrific, and they worked very well with the rock band supporting the vocals. Unfortunately, those of us hoping for a glimmer of the vocal talent of Freddie Mercury were disappointed.

Slow paced less well known songs for the first half if the show. The make singers were more entertaining and suited for the songs . Last 5 songs including bohemian rhapsody were awesome !

Very enjoyable blast from the past with "modern" changes in arrangements and vocals.

Great show and atmosphere to enjoy a summer evening

An unforgettable show! I was so impressed with all of the performances-the orchestra was amazing-the band and singers were so great!! After seeing this I know next year I will do the whole season!! Thanks for a wonderful 'Queen' night!!

Queen is far from my favorite band. They tend to be too "hard rock" for me. However, having 30-40 orchestra pieces from a combination of the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Lansing Symphony Orchestra, added a significant dimension, made the music much richer and enhanced my overall enjoyment of the performance.

This show is a must-see. The combining of a rock band with a symphony orchestra, along with 4 top-notch singers is unbeatable. Even if you have never heard Queen's music, you would truly enjoy this show. The show builds as it goes along, ending with the most amazing song of all time, Bohemian Rhapsody, and then the encore gets the audience on their feet and participating with those on stage. The singers bring life to the songs with their interpretations, while still keeping to the original Queen style. The show is well worth the cost of a ticket!

The concert was excellent. The Houston Symphony performed at their best, as usual. The band was amazing, real entertainers that got the crowd involved. A wonderful night that delighted several generations. We thoroughly enjoyed it all.

The performance was so awesome. It was the best of both worlds...rock band and the symphony. It was a great show for a family date night. The venue was very organized and very clean. We look forward to other shows like this show. Encore!!

Great show. Very entertaining. The symphony was amazing and the vocalist sounded just like Freddie Mercury.

The music of Queen accompanied by the Houston Symphony Orchestra was unbelievable! The band led by vocalist Brody Dolyniuk and lead guitarist George Clinton along with the arrangement by the HSO truly made the trip back deja vu all over again!

The singer has an amazing voice! I loved how the Houston Symphony was a part of the concert. Beautiful music created from the villions and guitarist.

The show was great! Next best think to seeing Queen themselves! The lead singer sounded very similar to Freddie Mercury on a lot of the songs. Having the Houston Symphony Orchestra also playing enabled them to replicate a lot of the sound effects as if you were hearing it right from the recording studio. Their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody was really good, a highlight of the show! The only thing that I was expecting, which they did not do, was for them to end the concert the was Queen always did, by playing God Save the Queen.

The symphony was on all night. The vocals were fantastic. No comparison from anyone else except Freddie... And the guitarist was the second best I have ever heard...Brian May is the best..

Still talking about the show it was great and Brody Dolyniuk is very talented and made the show. Would definately see the show again and take friends.

My friend is a big QUEEN fan, so I decided to surprise her. She is really critical when people try to sing like Fredie but she said that he did an amazing job hitting all the different notes. Coming from her that was a big compliment to the vocalist. Great price for tickets and very entertaining!! Any fan of Queen would enjoy this, plus the Houston Syphony is a big bonus!!

Thank you so much for a great concert. Not only did the symphony do a brilliant job at brining back Queen but Brody Dolyniuk was fantastic bringing back the soul of Freddie. I was also impressed with the employees working the seating. Usually they are a bit rude and grouchy but that night they seemed to have taken their happy pills. Whatever it was keep it up. The entertainers aren't the only thing that makes a concert experience good or great!

The music was fantastic. Freddie's music goes so well with symphony instruments. The scores were well written by conductor Brent Havens. Vocalist Brody Dolyniuk was a wonderful entertainer. He was witty, poignant, entertaining, had perfect pitch, and was powerful on the big songs. He did not try to be Freddie, but rather paid tribute to him and his vast collection of music. The supporting band was into the music. The keyboardist especially impressed me. He looked so happy to be there and was enjoying playing so much. Drummer, bass guitarist, and lead guitarist gave their all. With the cool night wind blowing through the canopy after the storms had passed, it was a night I will never forget. Simply beautiful!

We all totally enjoyed the Queen/FL Orchestra concert on Friday night. The band, orchestra and the lead singer were just great. The orchestra brought a new depth to Queen's music.

The Music of Queen was an amazingly fantastic event. It was very very exciting to hear the vocalist and the orchestra together. It took all I had to stay in my seat. I have always been a fan of Queen, and this concert made it unforgettable!

We really enjoyed the entire event. The enthusiam and excitement was fantastic. It was a great upbeat way to start the weekend. We commented at intermission at the varying age groups in the audience. As we were leaving I commented to my husband that is was a different kind of event for the FL Orchestra, but what a great event. What fun it was.

I took my 17year old son with me and we enjoyed it very much. I liked that they gave some more time for the orchestra to be heard, as the guitars can be very loud and drown out the other sounds. We saw the Led Zeppelin show last year and was blown away by that performance. Brent Havens is a genius. I regretfully missed the Pink Floyd show. We are looking forward to attending future shows. The whole collaboration was out of this world.

We had purchased the tickets for our daughter and she had to work so we ended up going. We were expecting the event to be more of the orchestra playing their interpretation of Queen's music and were surprised when there was a vocalist. Even though it wasn't what we were expecting it was still a very enjoyable performance and the vocalist was actually pretty amazing. We would have enjoyed to hear more orchestra but like I wrote, it was still a great performance, just not what we had expected. We had a great time! Oh, and I don't believe there is a bad seat in the house at Mahaffey Theater!

great time , would go again , well done show singing very good , music excellent

The music and vocalist of the performance were terrific. The vocalist did a great job of incorporating the audience into the show. His vocal range was spectacular. Definately a must see for Quen fans.

My husband, who is not a Queen Fan, and I enjoyed this presentation immensely. He was blown away and I was happy to see him clapping away with the music. I know he was impressed by the fact it was a SOLD OUT performance and that the crowd covered all generations.
