Warren Vernon-Driscoll as Freddie Mercury in ‘Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic’ tribute show. Good news for those who missed out: “Queen: It’s a Kinda Magic”, the sensational tribute show, has returned to Joburg Theatre. Apparently, it’s bigger, better, and louder than ever – a feat I honestly didn’t think possible when I interviewedWarren Vernon-Driscoll,who embodies the rock legend Freddie Mercury, a year ago.
He helms the show on lead vocals, guitar and piano live on stage. “I went to one of Showtime Australia’s shows. A friend invited me, and I think I was his third choice.
So I went to this show. I was looking for a job at the time. I used to busk at markets with my guitar and sing wherever I could for money,” he shared.

“I just asked for an email address to audition. I wanted a backing singer job, essentially. I just wanted to be a part of something.
I met with Johnny (Van Grinsven) and our producer on a Monday, and by Friday, we were making plans for the show. It just happened so quickly.”
