Killer Queen — A Tribute to Queen featuring Patrick Myers as Freddie Mercury takes the Landmark Theatre stage in Syracuse on April 16, and the venue choice matters as much as the performance. The Landmark, a 1928 Loew’s movie palace with one of the most ornate interiors in Central New York, provides the theatrical backdrop that a Queen tribute demands. Mercury himself would have appreciated the proscenium.
Queen’s catalog — from the operatic architecture of “Bohemian Rhapsody” to the stadium-shaking simplicity of “We Will Rock You” — was designed for rooms that could match the ambition of the music. Killer Queen has built a touring reputation on Myers’s portrayal of Mercury, and in a venue with the Landmark’s sight lines and acoustics, the production has the space to deliver.
