The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story

THE SHOW MUST GO ON: THE QUEEN + ADAM LAMBERT STORY - On the heels of Queen and Adam Lambert's show-stopping opening performance at the Oscars on Sunday, February 24, Lincoln Square Productions has acquired the U.S. television rights to a documentary from Miracle Productions on the iconic band and their new regular frontman, Adam Lambert. Produced by Jim Beach and acclaimed writer and filmmaker Simon Lupton, "The Show Must Go On: The Queen + Adam Lambert Story" airs MONDAY, APRIL 29 (8:00 - 10:00 p.m. ET) on the ABC Television Network, prior to Queen and Lambert's already sold-out July/August 2019 U.S. "Rhapsody" tour.

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 8 p.m. on ABC

As this doc reiterates frequently, there's no replacing Freddie Mercury. But by some miracle, someone came along with the vocal range and stage persona required to take on the mantle of Queen's frontman. The special tracks the band's listless years following Mercury's death alongside Adam Lambert's rise on American Idol, and the evolution of their collaboration into a powerhouse touring act. It's a bit overlong and not particularly incisive, but it is a breezy watch with a heartwarming pro-LGBTQ message—plus plenty of clips from Queen + Lambert's electrifying concerts. B —Tyler Aquilina
