Joseph Clark back at the Playhouse – Joseph Clark continues to entertain and mesmerize audiences, keeping the spirit of Queen’s music alive for a whole new generation of Freddie Mercury fans.

After two shows in 2024 and by popular demand, Joseph returns to the Opera Theatre stage at The Playhouse Opera Theatre, his artistic home as a ballet dancer, actor and singer and where his legendary status began with Queen at the Opera.

This year’s concerts will feature soprano Lizzy Phisane in the unforgettable Barcelona as well as local choirs joining the stage for some of Queen’s most iconic songs. With his charisma, style and extraordinary vocal power, Joseph still leaves fans screaming for more.

The Queen Journey

His Queen journey took Joseph and his band beyond the borders of South Africa: Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, the Middle East, the United States and across Africa, including Eswatini/Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Malawi and more recently, Freddie Mercury’s birthplace, Zanzibar.

The extensive song list features favourites such as Somebody To Love, Another One Bites The Dust, Under Pressure, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Made In Heaven and, of course, Bohemian Rhapsody. To the delight of diehard Queen fans, the duo also delivers high-energy classics including Dragon Attack, Headlong and Tie Your Mother Down.

A favourite among Queen fans in the Netherlands, Joseph’s highlights include starring in The Queen Experience at a sold out 30,000-seat GelreDome Stadium in Arnhem. With a career spanning more than four decades as a dancer, singer and actor, he has also appeared as a soloist in numerous symphonic concerts throughout South Africa and with the Noord Nederlands Orkest.

“Joseph’s the champion, my friend! He’s one of the few around the world who can do the mercurial, legendary Queen vocalist justice with panache, style and the glory that was Freddie Mercury in full roar.“ – Daily News, Durban

“I‘m not a believer in impersonating great artists but giving an audience a taste of their music, as a humble tribute and compliment to their genius. I try to create an atmosphere of magic; nostalgia for some and a new discovery for others.” – Joseph Clark
