It was a crazy little thing called love Saturday night at the Bromeley Family Theater when Almost Queen took the stage.

The show, the last of Bradford Creative and Performing Arts Center’s regular season, was a nonstop cavalcade of some of the best work done by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor.

The group, made up of Joseph Russo, Steve Leonard, John Cappadonna and Randy Gregg, respectively, burst onto the stage with a stylized version of “We Will Rock You.”

“I want to play some Queen for you beautiful people,” Russo said, kicking off a high energy show with “Tie Your Mother Down” and “Play the Game.”

Russo had the tight pants, slicked back hair, the mustache and even a Flash T-shirt, looking the part of the legendary Freddie Mercury. And sounding an awful lot like the late superstar.

The crowd was singing along to hits like “Another One Bites the Dust” and “Fat Bottomed Girls,” and stomping and clapping to “We Will Rock You.”

“We remember how you promised you were going to sing tonight?” Russo asked, pausing between songs. “Whip out your choir voices,” he said, launching into “Somebody to Love.”

And love him the audience did.

The group covered hits and a few lesser known songs — and performed an encore featuring the wildly popular “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

The audience sang the first few verses, with accompaniment from the band, of course, before Russo joined in.

Each time Russo stopped to get a drink, he’d raise his cup to the audience and say “cheers,” a gesture recognized by Queen fans.

The normally reserved Bradford crowd was as lively and energetic as the band, dancing, waving their arms in tune to the music, clapping, singing, cheering.

When the band left the stage, the audience stood still for a moment, looking to the side of the stage as if hoping the show would just keep going.

After the show, the band members met audience members for photos in the lobby of the theater, and sold merchandise to benefit the Mercury Phoenix Foundation for worldwide AIDS research.
