Are you a fan of the legendary rock band Queen and excited to see the new movie Bohemian Rhapsody?

If so, the Vanderbilt Museum’s Charles and Helen Reichert Planetarium has a treat for you. The Planetarium will present a ‘Laser Queen’ Marathon on Saturday, November 17, with shows at 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. The Museum and Planetarium are located at 180 Little Neck Road, Centerport, NY.
Come and rock out in the Planetarium lobby, where you can enjoy an exciting video montage of the legendary rock band’s performances and then see the Vanderbilt’s newest entertainment show, Laser Queen, with dazzling laser imagery of the band backed by Queen’s great hits in surround sound. (For all ages.)
 
The movie Bohemian Rhapsody, about Freddie Mercury and Queen, is now playing in theaters, so this event will sell out quickly. Early ticket purchase is highly recommended.
 
To add to the fun, wearing Queen-related costumes or clothing is encouraged.
