Queen teams up with Adam Lambert

When it comes to reality television shows, I can be a little bit of a hater. I assume the role of the armchair quarterback while scrutinizing the credentials of these alleged nationwide talent hunts.

Like, don’t you think they’d occasionally get it right? Isn’t it lame I can only recall a handful of winners? Is the cream actually rising to the top?

Oh, wait — Adam Lambert, runner-up in the eighth season of “American Idol,” is currently touring as the lead singer of the reunited, reinvigorated Queen. And the new Queen is playing to hugely supportive audiences and injecting new life into one of the greatest song-by-song rock catalogs of all time.

Tickets are going to be scarce Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center, but try and scoop up a couple if you can. Prices run from $35 to $125. For more information, visit wellsfargocenterphilly.com.
