Carly relates to Mercury's flair for theatrical and dramatic performing, incorporating his work into
2 nights of inventive cabaret. Familiar Mercury selections include "I Want It All," "Don't Stop Me
Now" "Somebody To Love," "Fat Bottomed Girls" "Days of Our Lives," along with lesser-known
treasures as "Too Much Love Will Kill You," "Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow," and Brian
May's tender send-off for Freddie Mercury, entitled "No One But You." Carly Ozard's previous
