'One Night of Queen' to rock Lied Center March 11

The United Kingdom's hottest and most successful rock show, "One Night of Queen," celebrating the music of rock-and-roll legend and Queen front man, Freddie Mercury, will rock the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 7:30 p.m. March 11.

Performed by Gary Mullen and The Works, "One Night of Queen: is a stunning recreation of the music of Queen, arguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Together they play all the band's chart-topping hits, including "We Will Rock You," "A Kind of Magic," "We Are the Champions," "Somebody to Love" and "Bohemian Rhapsody."

The Blackpool Gazette said "As tribute bands go, there can be none better than this. Superb," while another reviewer wrote, "(Gary's got) the charisma necessary to bring Freddie to the stage... his voice is a faultless impersonation." Since winning the grand final of "Stars In Their Eyes" in 2000 as the legendary Mercury, Mullen has toured with "One Night of Queen," selling out theatres and concert halls in the U.K., Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Holland, France, New Zealand and the United States.
