KILLER QUEEN SETS A NEW STANDARD
The Uptown Music Collective spring performance set a new standard in every way that a performance can. As a concert it was an amazing spectacle, with students putting on the most energetic stage show to date, while performing near note perfect renditions of twenty plus Queen Classics.
The audience for the show topped the records for most attendance on one evening, held by 2010’s Motown tribute Heard it Through the Grapevine and the most attendance overall form 2011’s Unforgettable Fire. Over the course of both nights just under 1500 saw the performance and on the second night of Killer Queen there were nearly 1000 people in attendance.
Financially it was also a great success, grossing nearly $15,000 in ticket sales. This will be a hard nut to crack with next years spring show which will be a reprise of our 2006 theatrical performance of Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
