Queen, Green Day shows visit St. Petersburg

   The music of Green Day and Queen is coming to the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg. Green Day and Queen are not.
   The Mahaffey has just announced that the touring production of "American Idiot," the musical based on the Green Day album, is stopping in for a one-night stand on April 8. 

"American Idiot"

   The next week, on April 16, Gary Mullen & the Works, a tribute band with a solid reputation, will offer "One Night of Queen."
   We can't tell you a whole lot about Gary Mullen & the Works, but "American Idiot" (which came through Tampa earlier this year) is a wonderful show, with inventive staging and, of course, lots of great songs.
   Tickets for both go on sale at noon Aug. 2. "American Idiot" starts at $39.50; the Queen thing start at $37.50. Call 727-892-5767 or go to www.themahaffey.com.
