Rock Classics Come To Crystal Lake Saturday

Wearing tight white pants and some ancient Adidas sneakers, Gary Mullen brings legendary Queen front man Freddie Mercury back to life in a two-hour energy-filled concert at 7:30pm on Saturday at Raue Center For The Arts in downtown Crystal Lake. 

Fans know Queen classics such as “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You,” and “Another One Bites the Dust” so well that these tunes are almost rock clichés.  But since few were able to see Mercury in person before he died, the chance to watch someone as talented as Mullen brings him back to life is a genuine treat.

This is no cheesy Vegas stage show.  Mullen, backed by a four-piece band, uses sophisticated lighting and an uncanny ability to connect with an audience to almost fool folks into thinking he’s the real deal.  You will be dancing in the aisles, rocking in the balcony and will have an all-around great time.  For one night only, Queen and Freddie Mercury come back to life.

Tickets are $65, $62 and $59 and can be purchased online at RAUECENTER.ORG or via the Box Office at 815.356.9212 or 26 N. Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake.

Raue Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of all through the arts.  Celebrating their 10th anniversary season, they are proud to provide quality programming and strive to make it pertinent, available and affordable to all.
