Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico – The entertainment scene in Puerto Vallarta has been changing over the years from local and ex-pat talent to international, world-class offerings. We now enjoy a wide range of talent and musical genres. Roy Gomez Cruz arrived last season at The Palm Cabaret with his Queen Live Forever show that took performance to a new level in PV. This season Roy headlined for the entire season with Queen Live Forever.
Roy has now introduced a new show, I Want it All: The Freddie Mercury Story, as a late-season smash hit. Once again, Gomez Cruz delivers powerful vocals, Queen hits and an incredible live entertainment experience. “I Want It All” is a breathtaking musical event you won’t soon forget!
I Want It All takes you on an energetic, visual and emotional journey through the songs and life events that made Freddie Mercury larger than life. Roy Gomez Cruz’s powerful vocals and unbelievable impersonation bring you as close as you’ll ever be to the rock icon of all times. His professional musical and performance training really shines through in this show.
Not only does Roy sing every song authentically, but his costumes, style, persona and audience engagement all measure up to the legendary Freddie Mercury. Several times during the night, Roy also accompanies himself on the piano, just like the iconic Freddie Mercury did in his concerts.
With incredible video footage of Queen concerts and interviews in the background, the show entertains and educates the audience about this totally unique and ground breaking star. The concert takes the audience through Freddie’s transformation into an eternal legend!
The Palm Cabaret’s Mark Rome recently commented, “This is much more than just a show. I have never seen audiences embrace and enjoy a performance like this. Absolute magic happens with this unforgettable tribute to Freddie and Queen.” To take on the challenge of portraying such an extraordinary musical icon is no small task and Roy does it as perfectly and with the energy and passion of the legend.
Throughout the performance we experienced hits like, I Want It All, Under Pressure, The Show Must Go On and I Want to Break Free, with the classic reenactment of the Queen cross-dressing video. We also enjoyed classics like, Somebody to Love, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. And, of course, the best known of all his songs, Bohemian Rhapsody, was a highlight of the evening.
Joining Roy through the entire performance were performance actors Maru Prado Conti and Demian Matteo Erdocia, who danced, acted and sang. They added another fantastic dimension to the show.
Roy Gomez Cruz has years of successful participation in Queen Tribute shows. He has a master’s degree in Communications, specifically examining Cirque du Soleil as a cultural industry of global reach. He has fully immersed himself in artistic creation and performance. From a musical family, Roy grew up loving the band Queen and knew all their music.
Roy considers it a great honor to pay tribute to such a legendary performer as Freddie Mercury. Larger than life, Freddie was a complex artist who is a challenge to portray. Roy sees every show as a wonderful privilege to honor and share the music and the persona of Freddie Mercury and Queen.
