Is it Freddie? Through the miracle of genetics and extraordinary musical talent, Marc Martel possesses one of the most remarkable vocal gifts in modern music—he sounds exactly like Queen's legendary frontman, Freddie Mercury.When Hollywood needed someone to help bring Freddie's voice to life in the Oscar-winning film "Bohemian Rhapsody," they turned to Marc. His contributions to the film's vocal performances helped create movie magic, though he prefers to let his live performances do the talking.
This isn't just a tribute show—it's a masterclass in vocal artistry. Marc's three-octave range, pellucid tone, and operatic quality transport audiences straight back to Queen's glory days. From the anthemic power of "We Are the Champions" to the tender vulnerability of "Somebody to Love," every note honors Freddie's legacy while showcasing Marc's exceptional talent.
A former Christian rock artist turned viral sensation, Marc discovered his uncanny resemblance to Freddie's voice almost by accident. Since then, he's toured 14 countries, performing for thousands who crave the Queen experience. International audiences spontaneously perform the traditional "Radio Ga Ga" arm movements, while American crowds discover why Queen's catalog remains timeless.
The Midland Theatre's Spanish Revival architecture and intimate atmosphere provide the perfect setting for this theatrical rock experience. Our historic stage has witnessed nearly a century of entertainment, from vaudeville to rock legends—and now, the closest thing to hearing Freddie Mercury live that exists today.
Fair warning: Even Marc admits he can't help but deliver every high note with the precision Queen fans expect. After all, when you've been blessed with this "weird unique thing," why wouldn't you share it?
