Star Wars Live In Concert

My brother told me about the concert last year and we missed it when it was in So. Cal and Las Vegas. Now that we've seen it, we will definitely see the show again. It was awesome. At the end of the show, John Williams came out as a special guest and conducted the last piece. So amazing!

What an event! It was everything I thought it would be and more! With the live narration, amazing music and the light show, it was Star Wars presented in a way I've never seen or experienced before! To anyone thinking about seeing this, don't hesitate....YOU MUST SEE IT!

The show was good, I liked the second part of the show more since it had the lasers.

It was a great production. The live orchestra was the best. It was just under two hours and I believe played all of the popular Star Wars music. My 10 and 6 year old sons were very excited to see this show and they were on the front of their seats all night.

Excellent Show, if you like starwars or like Music, this is a terrific show, the lights and the atmotsfera is very very good, hearing this music alive. I would go everytime posible to see this show again and again.

Even if you had never seen the movies you would have enjoyed this program because they told the story ALL OVER AGAIN! The music was awesome! Sometimes I got lost in not even realizing that the music was NOT a piped in soundtrack! Great show.. The venue however was not so great! This would have been better at a musical concert hall, but as we had a great vantage point, I can't complain.

This show was incredible! The big screen showing images from the series made the experience that much better. The orchestra timing with the on screen images was fantastic, they did the music of John Williams justice. This was an experience that the whole family would enjoy.

The performance was awesome. The live orchestra played with special lighting effects and clips of the 6 movies on a huge screen. Any seat in the house was a good seat.

OMG I loved it!!!!! The screen, lights, sound was unbelievable! Anthony Daniels did a great job and real funny!!! 5 stars.

The music was note-perfect! The conductor did a fantastic job of matching the score to the scenes being displayed on the very big screen. I especially enjoyed the choir in the piece that was played during the Jedi - Darth Maul fight scene.

The show was amazing! The lights,the music,the big screen and of course, the host was a great surprise for my kid. He really enjoyed the show. Totally, worth it!

We went to the Sunday evening show and because the show wasn't sold out, we got upgraded to better seats! Everyone attending was just like us, SO thrilled to be there, so that made it fun. We enjoyed having our pictures taken with the Storm Troopers. The show started with our host, Mr. Anthony Daniels, C3PO. He was SO charming and funny. The concert was trulyl phenomenal. The clips from all of the movies were just great, the light show was fabulous and the music?? OMG they were SO incredible. We would go AGAIN and AGAIN to see this show.

The orchestra was excellent and the choreography was superb. The laser light show was dazzling. I must say that the entire performance elicited emotions across the board.

The show was fantastic but we had great floor seats about 2/3 back from the stage. They did a great job retelling the story of Star Wars by breaking it down into topics vs. episodes. Having Anthony Daniels (C3P0) as the host and narrator made it extra special, it was like having an old friend guiding you through it. That 30 foot hi-def screen is really spectacular and I loved the part with the green lasers shooting all across the arena. Listening to these themes that we've grown up with, your brain naturally knows what it expects to hear and the orchestra does not disappoint one bit. They were spot on, complete with droid sounds and special effects. As you watch the sequences on the screen, the music is so well integrated and synched that you forget that you're actually listening to live music, that's how good these musicians are and you realize just how much of a musical genius John Williams really is. The whole evening brought back great memories of where I was in my life and who I was with when I saw each Star Wars episode at the movies. It also reminded me of all the Star Wars toys I had growing up and my Star Wars lunch box that continues to this day to be proudly displayed in my kitchen. The only thing I would point out is it may not be appropriate for young kids under the age of 8. The ones that were sitting around us had either fallen asleep half way through or were cranky and acting up.

The show was amazing in every way. The lobby displays added an extra special touch. The music, video, and light display worked together in perfect harmony to tell the classic Star Wars themes in a whole new exciting way. My boys (6 and 8) were enthralled for the entire show!

Overall this was a fantastic show. I went with my 8 year old son and he was thrilled. The single screen is large and very clear. It wasn't just images but actual clips from the films. Most of the dialog was silenced but sometimes a line or two emerged. It was told in story order (Ep I - VI) via montages. So there was a Darth Vader montage and a Leia montage mixed in with segments about the rise and fall of the Empire. The music was outstanding, played very well by the orchestra. Seeing Anthony Daniels was neat although sadly it seemed a bit awkward for him to narrate (really introducing the segments). But how can one complain seeing one of the original Star Wars cast?? At times they showed the orchestra instead of clips on the big screen which bored my son but it wasn't too often. Overall we had a great time.

I admit I am not the biggest star wars fan around, I can't quote every line, I can't tell you the names of the planets in the movies, and I honestly I wouldn't have gone to this on my own I went to this as an anniversary gift for my fiance. But I have to say I was quite impressed with the show and to be just 5 rows from the stage added to the overall experience. The music was absolutely amazing and powerful, I can honestly say it invoked memories of my childhood watching the saga and the wonderment I had towards them. Even the Art show before hand was amazing. To be able to be just inches away from the fallen hero Han Solo frozen in carbonite, to be able to stand right next to the Ewoks, or just to see how the movies were made. But what "takes the cake" is the show it self , how the moments from the movies were so perfectly coordinated with the live orchestra at points almost brought a tear to my eye. I would recommend this to any hardcore Star Wars fan and to the people who just enjoyed the movies. Five Stars all the way.

This concert was beyond what we had expected, and was among the most enjoyable shows for a family. Anyone who appreciates the Star Wars symphony will be overwhelmed by what a great job they did with combining the story lines with live music and visual extravaganza. And having Anthony Daniels (C3PO) narrate was a treat. Museum items were fantastic with live characters available for pictures with the kids (and adults); nice plus.

You cannot appreciate how impressive it is to faithfully recreate the soundtrack to all six Star Wars movies until you have seen it performed live! The members of the orchestra were absolutely passionate and enthusiastic about being able to play this music live. And having Anthony Daniels (i.e. C-3PO) narrate the entire concert live was a wonderful bonus. I could not recommend this more!

I admit - you have to be a Star Wars fan to truly enjoy this. But when one considers that this epic story has now spanned four generations of us humans, it has elements that are making Star Wars timeless, and it speaks to the kid in most of us. That George Lucas borrowed key elements from mythology has clearly helped this and was a masterful stroke of his creativity, and John Williams' brilliant compositions clearly remind us and show how much of a modern-day genius with music he is. To be able to hear his wonderful works performed by a live symphony is a treat that not enough of us take advantage of these days (although he is not part of this show in person--there's another conductor leading the orchestra). Sure, one can buy a CD or download, but it is not the same as experiencing the energy given by live performers. When we first arrived at our seats before the show and saw the stage, I wondered how the organization functions - do they come to town with a core entourage and then hire professional musicians as ringers? Or does the entire orchestra travel together from city to city? There must be at least sixty orchestral and staff members who are getting paid for this work, but it is highly professional and this is clearly evident in the quality of the music and its performance. The accompanying visuals excerpted from all of the six films are edited wonderfully and whoever synced the visual scenes with the music is very talented in matching visuals and sound (and must have been incredibly patient in piecing it all together!) But the result is wonderful and to see that the LIVE performance is so precise with the visual imagery and light show is a fun experience. Adding the cameras onstage to film the orchestra was also a very nice touch and added to the entertainment. So many of the musicians clearly love what they are doing, and it was evident on their faces as they played. Spanning the orchestra live kept our attention pretty well as the orchestral arrangements were performed. Anthony Daniels (who played C-3PO in the films) is the narrator, and does a nice job (though at times his delivery did come across as a bit canned, but on balance, still pleasant and nostalgic (to his credit, he has a lot of lines to recite). As one might expect, there are a lot of kids in the audience, but this is a wonderful show for all ages to witness (and it's important that kids get exposed to orchestral performance), and could even be fun for a date. My 17-year-old son and I went, and I thought he would probably yawn most of the time; but we were both pleasantly surprised by the show--much more than we had expected. It is the right length of time and went by faster than one might think. As a culture here in America, we (i.e. the general public) don't take enough advantage of orchestral performances these days, and this is a wonderful way to experience that--especially for youth--as well as relive the excitement when we first saw each of these movies. Would recommend this to anyone who has enjoyed Star Wars. Hope these comments help if you're contemplating whether or not to go. In my view, you'd be making a fun choice for a few hours' escape on a weekend afternoon.

I don't know if it's the seats we got, but the experience was absolutely memorable! We purchased the VIP Hot Seat tickets @ $150 a piece and I was concerned we'd be feeling it wasn't worth it. The "exhibit" was nice, even though it was just random costumes, props, and scenes situated around the first floor walking area. The seats, though, were worth every penny, sitting in the middle of the 9th row from the front. The show was amazing with fantastic music, awesome lights and video, and a wonderful experience all around. Having Anthony Daniels actually there on stage throughout the event made it all worth it in the end! I don't know if the Platinum VIP tickets ($300!!) would have been worth it, since they only got a little extra than we did, but the $150 tickets were definitely worth the money!

This is an extraordinary program that combines a full orchestra and film in telling the Star Wars story. Great sound and lazer lights as well as actual costumes and props from the movies complete the scene. A must see for every Star Wars fan, live music fan, and those who are never too old to imagine!

This concert was absolutely amazing. The music was flawless, the video clips were perfect, and the lights were spectacular. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone!!

I took my 7 yr old son and he loved it......!! He can't stop talking about it!!

I took my 7 year old grandson to the concert. Both of us loved it. Originally we had 2nd level tickets that had restricted views, but when I presented my tickets they said they had new tickets for me. The new tickets were first level, almost on the main floor and the view was terrific. Well worth it!

The show was fantastic! The orchestra sounded great and the effects were everything you could want. Seeing the Star Wars clips in High Definition was a huge plug for the upcoming Blue Ray release. It was almost sensory overload where you had to remind yourself to focus on the music while some of the clips were playing. Anthony Daniels was a delight narrating the segments as only he can. My only criticism was that our seats were too good. We sat in the first few rows and some of the lighting rigging blocked the screen slightly. It wasn't too distracting, but it seemed avoidable. Perhaps the size of the venue limited the options for the screen height. At any rate, I would highly recommend this show for a Star Wars fan of any age!

Had a super fun time! It was sweet to see all the costumes from the movies and get my picture taken with stormtroopers and R2-D2. My seat got waaay upgraded too, which was a plus :D the concert was a lot of fun--my only complaint was that the movie quotes throughout the music were a bit annoying. Anthony Daniels = amazing! Seriously, good event. Glad I went! It would have been cool to see some original artwork in frames and stuff too.

The choir and orchestra were awesome. Everything was coordinated to the millisecond with the video and cameras. The narration was very entertaining as well. We all (2 adults and a 5yr old boy) thoroughly enjoyed the show. We also enjoyed the displays they had around the main area with costumes and props, etc to view. It didn't start off well with unexplained lines for all of us with 2nd level seats at the venue (still in them when the show started), but we did end up with seats in the lower level. Just wish we would have been inside to hear the THX and intros. Would have been perfect if the Xcel had been a tad more organized and efficient with all the rearranging.

Attended a Sunday afternoon concert and the energy was fantastic. The orchestra and chorus were wonderful. Neat to see the costumes, props and illustrations. Parents taking younger children, please use this as an opportunity to teach them proper orchestral concert etiquette as well as have a fun family activity. It's good to get excited and get into the music and movie scenes being shown, but you and your children don't need to talk through the event.

I bought tickets to this as a surprise for my 10 year old....I couldn't afford more than the cheapest seats which had me worried about how well we would be able to see (I would sit there again...excellent seats with great view!!). But.....from the moment we walked in to the Dane County Coliseum......we had a wonderful time! The costumed characters walking around the main lobby floor were a great touch, and available for pictures. The orchestra was highly talented and the music was incredible!! We loved the laser show with some of the music. Fun!! Anthony Daniels (played C3P-0 in the movies) was the BEST person for the Narrator job, he was witty, animated, spoke clearly, and made the whole show extra fun. The movie clips and pictures playing behind the orchestra on a huge screen were great and well picked for each of the sequences. Let me tell you, the intermission was perfectly timed!!! We even had extra time to go down and check out some more of the great displays of costumes, and checked out the souvenir stand. This was something I would definitely go to again if it came back. My son kept telling me "Thanks Mom, this is awesome!!" I know he enjoyed it as much as I did. My only complaint was the price of the souvenirs.....$30. for the program!!! $30 for a t-shirt, pretty high priced stuff. Had to have the t-shirt but should have gone without the program!!

July 10, 2010 The "Star Wars in Concert" event was amazing! It was incredible to see all of the musicians play some of the infamous Star Wars soundtrack live. The lights, video footage/clips, lasers, music, sound, big HD screen, and narration were all incredibly awesome!!! It was really neat to see Anthony Daniels, who actually played C-3PO in the series, narrate the show. He was fantastic and very fun to watch and listen to. His voice as C-3PO really is his normal voice! I only wish the cameras showed more shots on the screen of the musicians playing. After all, that's what everyone's there for and why it's called a "concert." At least 90% of the audience members have seen the films, so it's really the musicians' time to shine. So there should have been less video footage of the films and more live video of the musicians playing. Another cool aspect of the concert is the "pre-show." If you arrive early enough before the concert starts, you can stroll through the corridors and lobbies of the stadium/auditorium. While there, you will see numerous costumes, drawings, sheet music, and settings that were actually used in the Star Wars films. Some of them weren't even used, but were just considered for the franchise. These artifacts have never been shown to the public before. Feel free to take as many pictures as you want. Also, many of the Star Wars characters are walking around to give you great photo opportunities. I got pictures with Chewbacca, a stormtrooper, R2D2, Princess Leia, and a few others. Darth Vader was also there, but it was extremely difficult to get a picture with him, since he had the longest line and the most people around him. Chewbacca equally had the line of people, but I chose to get a picture with him instead of Darth Vader. You can take pictures during the concert. However, there can be no flash photography or video. Therefore, you must have a pretty good camera in order to get a few decent shots. I think I got some good shots of the show. I would definitely recommend this show to anyone, even if you're not a Star Wars fan. This is NOT a geek fest like Com-Con (Comic Convention), even though you will see some people dressed up like some of the characters. Be careful -- you just might end up getting a picture of a non-authentic costume/character. Some fans' costumes are pretty darn good and I saw a number of people stop them to have a picture taken with them. The show ran a little over 2 hours long. Again, I would recommend this experience to anyone, even children (10+). "Star Wars in Concert" is fantastic and a memorable experience of the Arts. Go see it -- you won't regret it!

I had a nice time with my 2 sons at this event. I just wish that they would show less of the movie clips and instead do more of the live video montage of the orchestra members playing. The music was terrific! Nice to hear familiar tunes in different arrangements.

Brought my 2 young children to the event and it was something they will never forget. My 10 year old daughter just began taking trombone lessons and it definitely impacted her appreciation of the instrument. From the costumed characters posing for photos before the show, to the amazing show it came close to the excitement I felt of the release of an actual movie. Definitely want to go again.

I thought the concert was incredible! My wife and I went as I grew up with Star Wars. There were people ranging from 3 - 80 and every age in between. The gigantic hd screen, the full symphony, the laser lights, the traveling museum, and the retelling of all 6 movies in "chronological order" was just great. This is a MUST SEE for all Star Wars "geeks". And the best thing I only saw one WEIRDO make a Star Trek sign!

The show was awesome with a great orchestra and light effects. Anthony Daniels was there in person doing the rarration. Also on display were costume from the movies and the were people there dressed as Star Wars characters.

My whole family (including boys 10 and 13 years old) loved the show from beginning to end. This was their first concert experiance and now they want to see more. The sound was perfect in this barn of a venue. Best sound mixing on a classical type concert ever. We could hear all the various sections and all the solos. (exp the Triangle in the Encore)

The Star Wars in concert was at the iwireless center in Moline, IL last night. I had two floor tickets and purchased the VIP package. I am 40 years old, so I have been with the Star Wars mayhem since 1977 when I watched the first Star Wars movie and will be a fan of all the movies forever. When the music of the orchestra started and the movie clips were playing I just sat in my chair with goosebumps! This is the most awesome experience a Star Wars fan can experience, unless you are able to go to one of the Star Wars celebration events, I am still trying to make it to one. This concert is worth every penny I paid for the 2 tickets and I would have paid more. During the intermission I talked with other Star Wars fans from my area that I knew, they were all just amazed by the Star Wars in concert event. Finally, I want to personally thank all who made this happen!!!!

If you are a true Star Wars fan then you will definetly want to see this concert. The musical scores are set against a visually stunning backdrop of film clips from each of the six movies. At first you think you are just listening to the music from the movie until you look at the Orchestra playing. The coolest part was the narrative from Anthony C3PO Daniels - In person!!! The actual props were very cool. Don't expect great souveniers. They were very weak. Go see the Concert!!!

This orchestra was second to none. The music of course was fantastic and the video collages were perfect with the music. The whole display/setup was amazing to look at. I should've taken more pictures! If I could afford to see it again tonight, I would!

This was my second time seeing Star Wars in Concert and it was even more awesome than the first. Previously I saw the concert in an arena and while that was good nothing beats seeing a show in the Hollywood Bowl! Star Wars in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl is an Event! Fans from everywhere both young and old add electricity to the show that nothing else can match. I highly recommend that if you get a chance to see Star Wars in Concert at the Hollywood Bowl that you do so! An absolute must see!

This was everything I had hoped and wished for. AMAZING!!!! I could have sat there all night and watched and listened to the genius of John Williams. I felt like I was 12 years old again.

I worked on the first two films, so this brought back lots of memories. I took my two grand daughters (4 & 7) and they were enthralled. And stayed awake through the whole thing!! It's amazing how the Star Wars saga transcends generations. Much of that of course is because of the music. It stirs emotions and makes you a part of the movies. The music puts you on the edge of your seat in anticipation or calms you in a moment of reflection. Pure genius.

The total experience was extremely enjoyable. The weather was chilly toward the end, but we were prepared. We arrived early and had a relaxing dinner in our box. The Hollywood Bowl orchestra is very good and of course, music by John Williams has no modern equal. Antony Daniels' narration of the entire Star Wars Saga fit in with the music and helped make the story complete. At times, the visual graphics were a little distracting, and I think that I would like to hear the presentation as just a concert to more fully appreciate the music.

...was fantastic. We loved it, and can't wait until our little boy is old enough to attend. It's a perfect event for families. :)

Star Wars in Concert was an unbelievable family fun event. This was the first time our 7 & 9 year old boys have seen an orchestra and what a great way to introduce them to such amazing culture as to give them the visuals of their favorite movies, Star Wars.

Wow. The sound, the lights, the movie. I would go again but it's only two days.

This was my first time to the Hollywood Bowl, and I have to say the venue is HUGE. My wife and I enjoyed the show from our seat in the first row of the Garden boxes which was amazing. The music and the timing with the video clips playing was near perfect! It was so much fun, I can't wait to go again for another event.

When I saw that Star Wars in Concert was coming to the Hollywood Bowl I knew it was a must see for my 8 year old twin boys. My twins have been humming complete scores from Star Wars from the back seat of our car since they were six. They got dressed up as jedis and in the picnic area across the street from the Bowl they even got to have a light saber duel with some of the other kids attending the concert . At the concert the orchestra and film projections had the boys (and us grownups) spell bound . Anthony Daniels (who played C-3PO) was a great choice for narrator. All in all a perfect family evening!

I took my six year old son who started watching star wars last year ,he was excited to go to this concert as was I. I really wasn't sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised and my son,LOVED it . Another perc. for him was the light saber battles he fought with people in the audience at intermission.

I used to listen to the original Star Wars soundtrack album on vinyl, over and over again!! I finally was able to see the orchestra play the music I fell in love with as a little boy and it was far beyond anything that I would have ever expected. That original soundtrack is what gave me a love of classical music. Mixed with the awsome narration and movie excerpts and laser-light show ------Unbelieveable!!!!! I highly recommend the Star Wars in Concert for everyone of all ages. Not to mention the various props and costumes that accompanied the show. Couldnt snap enough pictures. I'll be there if they decide to come around again in my neck of the woods!!!

Not only do you get to watch endless montages from all the Star Wars movies, but you get to hear an orchestra playing the music LIVE!!!!! What more can you ask for?? There were a lot of times when I forgot the orchestra was there because they sounded SO good, I thought it was just part of the movie clips! And with Anthony Daniels (C3PO) hosting, it made it extra special that someone from every Star Wars movie was there talking to you! I've always been a huge fan of Star Wars music, but to hear it live was even more awesome and it gave me goosebumps every time a new song came on! There were also Star Wars exhibits all around the arena that you could look at and you could take pictures with certain characters. GO! NOW!

great music, great way to arrange movie clips to tell a story. Anthony Daniels was the best.

It was unbelievable! Everyone I was with couldn't stop talking about it. I really enjoyed Anthony Daniels and his little C3PO bit from epsode 5.

From the moment I set foot in the arena, I knew I was in heaven. Cosplayers young and old walked around, cameras flashing left and right. Costumes, props, and backdrops were placed about the arena, available for pictures and posing. Even parts of the originial score were on display. I think no matter what seat in the house you get, you will be amazed. Star Wars fans can enjoy the beautifully synchronized videos on the GIANT screen in the front, anyone at all can enjoy the sheer magnificence of a professional orchestra playing some of the best -known themes in the world. I enjoyed every single second of this show, and highly recomend seeing this to ANYONE who appreciates phenomenal entertainment. Your mind will be blown to a galexy far, far away.

This show combined the the two things I really like a lot....a full size orchestra AND Science Fiction. Stars Wars is science fiction, isn't it?

Star Wars in concert was an experience unlike any other. I found the props from the movie fascinating and the show was great! Disappointed there wasn't a storm trooper uniform there though.

I have always appreciated music and this has definitely been an awesome concert. The musicians were amazing, the quality of sound and picture... wow! I was speechless the whole time and we all rise to applaud this magnificent masterpiece. Thanks for the awesome time, my fiance has that look of a little kid and that was priceless... it was also an honor to meet Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), he is a character.

The music for this event was so perfect and captivating that most of the time if you weren't looking at the orchestra, you forgot that that you weren't listening to the soundtrack that was recorded to go along with all of the images displayed on the screen. Considering that the pictures were from all of the movies and were a combination of touching moments and battle scenes- that's a pretty amazing feat. If this show comes to your area, I'd definitely recommend seeing it!

The music was fabulous and the huge LED screen was phenomenal! The orchestra, choir, conductor, and all did a wonderful recreation of the Star Wars Music from all six films! Plus, I can hardly believe that I was actually in the same room with Anthony Daniels who played C-3PO in all six Star Wars films!!! Star Wars In Concert is a must see!

It was great!! I'm not even a fan of Star Wars (my friend is) and I still loved it!! The only bad this was it was only 2 hours long. It was kind of dishing out $50 for a 2 hour show, but I'd do it all over again if i had the chance.Overall it was fabulous!!!

Terrific! Get there early so you don't have to wait in long lines for pictures with your favorite characters!

Hello, We took our 6 year old to this concert for his birthday. I would have to say the orchestra was amazing,but that's about it. It lacked something...maybe variety? Not sure, anyway, not worth the extra money we spent for the good seats. We enjoyed having pictures taken with some of the characters before the show. Overall, I would say buy the cheapest seats you can get, because other than that it was just glorified clips of some of the move. We are HUGE Star Wars fans and left pretty disappointed. At one point, our son was "bored" and would have gone home if we let him. The laser light show was also sad and pathetic.

I took my 11 y.o. son to see Star Wars in Concert. Despite his youth, he's a huge Star Wars fan... episodes 1 - 6. The powerful music, the images, Anthony Daniels, and the laser show... all of these elements combined to make a goose-bump filled, inspirational, and memorable afternoon matinee. I was 9 when Star Wars - Episode 4 was released in the theaters. Hearing and seeing the sounds of the Star Wars movies brought back the fun memories and feelings of childhood, the anticipation of the sequels, and the awe of the unforgettable world created by George Lucas. All the of the major, easily recognizable songs are played by the Star Wars Orchestra and they do a fine job at delivering John Williams' original scores flawlessly. I was happy to see many children, parents, and costumed Star Wars fans alike. Overall it was a wonderful experience that delighted my childhood sensibilities and exposed my 11 year old to a culturally iconic movie-themed experience that he'll remember for years to come.

The music was excellent. The accompanying video was great. The lasers were used to compliment the performance instead of distracting from it. Loved the displays of props and costumes from the movies also.

I had introduced my two daughters to the Star Wars saga a few years ago, showing them the six movies in the order envisioned by George Lucas (starting with episode 1). To be able to view real movie props, interact with the costumed characters, and take pictures with famous figures from the story was a treat in itself, serving as an appropriate precursor to the actual concert. As described by the narrator, Anthony Daniels (C3P0), the musical score of the movies set the tone by which the viewer can enjoy each scene. I was able to point out to my daughters during the concert that the music we were hearing was being performed live by all the musicians on the stage. Combining the live music with the lights & laser show served as excellent accompaniment to the vivid images projected on the towering screen. In answering their questions before, during, and after the show, I was able to introduce yet another generation to Lucas' imaginative story. Returning to work today wearing my SWIC t-shirt, I was the envy of my coworkers!

The costumes were awesome and the sound was great. It was a great experience for old and young alike. My wife loved it and she is not a huge Star Wars fan like I am.

This event was amazing. First of all as a bonus, there were props and blown up images from the movies to take your picture in front of. A real treat for the whole family. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a Star Wars fan. Walking into the venue it was immediately apparent that the quality was outstanding. The lighting and props, to include the conductor's stand were Star Wars themed. I felt like I had stepped onto the bridge of a star destroyer. Then, the screens came on. They were beautiful and vibrant and during one portion of the show where the cameras were panning through the orchestra, my brain tricked me into thinking there was actually a huge cello up on the stage rather than a projection of it. The music of course was gorgeous and the Star Wars orchestra and choir were top notch. I would be surprised if they weren't all recruited from other prestigious orchestra's all over the world. To top it all off Anthony Daniels narrated the entire show. It was a treat as he is a gifted story teller and has a wonderful stage presence. I will be going to this even again when it comes back!

The hallway of the DC Verizon Center had many pictures and costumes on display along with a few props and small videos describing other "making of" aspects. The show was a pure joy and having the images with the music was great, too. Edited together well to pace the music. Anthony Daniels was a real treat to listen to as well. There's nothing like hearing John Williams' enchanting and haunting score live!!!

A great event for young and old. A new way to introduce children to Star Wars. It also introduces children you may not have heard a live orchestra. It was worth every penny.

When I first heard of Star Wars in Concert I wasn't sure what to expect, but after the show I was left speechless. Over half the time I honestly forgot that there was a full orchestra in front of me the music was so beautiful and matched the images on the screen so well that when I realized there was this full orchestra I felt overwhelmed with joy. Also during intermission there was an exhibit of Star Wars props and costumes that were used from the movie! This is a must see for any Star Wars fan and great for the whole family!

It is one of the top 5 best concerts Iv ever seen!!!! Up there with Pink Floyd!!

Star Wars In Concert at the RiverCenter was Amazing !!! The Star Wars Symphony was so precise, I'd sometimes forget they were playing live. The scenes from the movies shown on the screen behind the stage were arranged and synchronized perfectly. Also the displays in the lobby were great. There were large movie backdrops, perfect for photo-ops and as my big-kid husband was in costume as a Jedi complete with his light saber, he was approached many times with requests for photos. He was a big hit. We had a blast. Almost everything about the night was perfect.

The music was performed flawlessly. The video playing behind the symphony orchestra and the narration by Anthony Daniels were awesome, especially when he fell into character!!! The props from the movie were fantastic. I loved Darth Vader, Yoda, and C-3PO!!

We took our seven year old to see this and just to see the way he lite up when it started and all the way through was rewarding enough for me. The music was awesome and the laser light show that went along with it was great. I would go again if they ever came back.

I took my two sons (14 and 8) to this as a father and son guy's trip. We are all huge Star Wars fans and from the moment we walked through the door. We were blown away! There was so much to see in the exhibit. All three of us felt like kids on Christmas morning. We were already having an amazing time by the time the show was to begin. Then from the moment the lights dropped and the first music note was heard to the very last Music note played we were all breath taken. The way it was delivered was flawless! And I honestly couldn't imagine a better narrator that Mr. Daniels. He delivered a wonderful performance. You could feel the emotion in the air that swirled around every word as he spoke and to be only complimented by the musicians and the visual department. It was truly a new experience and way to view the story. It was like the first time all over again. An experience that my sons or I will never forget. Now if only they would that big screen and sound system back to the arena and exhibit all 6 movies in full back to back. Now that would be out of this world. I know of at least 3 tickets that would be already solded!!. Thank you again for a wonderful evening for my sons and I. May The Force Be With You Always!!

I was stunned beyond belief. Of course I just love Star Wars, my all time favorite. I was 5 years old when I saw the first movie in 1977. The music is so moving it will bring the most savage beast to their knees. John Williams - your da man. This is a must see event that you will bring with you from now on.

I loved the symphony, the acting, the video segments. It was all wonderfully put together. In fact my only complaint had nothing to do with the show or TicketMaster at all. - The Baton Rouge River Center has these 30 foot tall speakers hanging low from the ceiling that blocked half the large movie screen for the 3rd level ticketholders. They should have raised these view obstructions or not sold tickets on the third level. Crazy, huh? Anyhow, the music was fantastic. I loved it and will tell my friends to go if it comes back through; only to skip the 3rd level seats. Show was still well worth it, view issues included. Thank you for a great evening! PS. I didn't know until your show that Jaba the Hut and Princess Leia had a love child that may have been raised by Elvis. Good to know!

STAR WARS IN CONCERT was amazing! It was not just a concert, it was so much more. The movie clips they used, came from every single Star Wars film! You were not just watching clips and listening to music. Each clip told a part of the Star Wars story in order. The narrator of the story was Anthony Daniels, C3PO. He was amazing! He was funny and the whole concert was never dull. It felt like you were in the story. If you are a fan of Star Wars or know so one who is, you must see this. GO TO STAR WARS IN CONCERT IT IS UNFORGETTABLE!!!!

Absolutely awesome! Get there when the doors open so you can walk around and see everything that is on display! It gets crowded fast, so the earlier the better!! Every part of the show was awesome. Loved every minute of it!!!!

This was the most awesome live performance of an orchestra that I've ever been to. For it to be Star Wars, just added that much more to it. The music (both live vocal and instrumental) was spectacular, not to mention all of the video and special effects that were done. The narration by the 'soul' of C3-PO (by Mr. Daniels no less!!) was perfect!! The way that all 6 movies were broken down and was presented at their base elements gave a fresh look of the Star Wars saga. It was also very interesting as a movie buff to be able to see some of the movie props and costumes used in the movies. If I am able, I will go and see this again!!

Storm Troopers walking around, display cases of props, excellent orchestra, real movie footage playing in background while orchestra performs....it was wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star Wars in Concert is an amazing and fun event that any fan will most certianly love.

Whether you consider yourself a true Star Wars fan or not, THIS IS A MUST SEE EVENT! enjoyed every minute of it, the sound was amazing the entire stage, set up and overall experience was a true DELIGHT!! It makes you re-lived the entire saga through an unbelievable musical!! Stop procratinating and just BOOK IT AND GO!!! You will thank yourselves!!

The music was so amazing that I had to remind myself it was live!! The chorus gave me chills, the images on the screen brought tears to my eyes and seeing Mr. Daniels was beyond words. The only drawback, I wish it would have never ended. Amazing and I know I will be there when it returns to Orlando and so should you.

The music was great but we were packed in like sardines.

Wasn't sure what to expect from this event. Hubby saw it on PBS and, being a Star Wars fanatic, wanted tix right away. I've always loved the orchestration of the films, perhaps more so than than the films themselves, so I agreed. Seeing the orchestra and choir in front of us, playing all the wonderful themes, was unreal. The light show was spectacular, and the movie sized LCD display was beautifully crisp. Along side the screen were LCD beads, which added to the overall visual experience by showing additional scenes, views of the orchestra or an expanded view. The lighting itself, which included spots, lasers and Color Kinetics, was synchronized to the music as well as to the on-screen shots, making the whole experience seamless and immersive. Anthony Daniels was a wonderful narrator not only for the obvious reason (he was C3PO) but because he held everyone in thrall with his short but concise, energetic explanations of the following scene. I would really like to sit down with him and just pick his brain. We were able to sit front and (practically) center and I believe it made the show even better. If you go, get there early to see the display of movie paraphernalia on display just outside. There are large tableaus of movie scenes in front of which you can take some very funny pictures!

The concert itself was really well done. The orchestra was phenomenal. At least when it comes to the Star Wars music, the orchestra is on par with any major symphony orchestra. Anthony Daniels did a great job narrating the show. We sat on the floor in front of some massive speakers and were worried that it might be too loud. But apparently, unlike most rock concerts I've been to, they actually must balance out the speakers so that nothing is overblown. There were display cases with concept art, costumes and figures from the movies, as well as large panoramas that you could take your picture in front of. They also had characters from the movies walking around that you could take your picture with. My only complaint is a minor one and had nothing to do with the concert, but with the event staff. We had VIP tickets and were supposed to be let in to see everything 30 minutes before general admission. They were 15 minutes late letting us in. At any rate it is definately a concert worth seeing.

Technology along with a live orchestra, the precision of the music with the scenes in high-definition screen, the story line of Star Wars, makes us children again and uncannily inside the movie. Unforgettable, memorable, fantastic dreams!

Awesome! With all the imagery, it was hard to believe that the orchestra was actually there right in front of you, I sounded just like you were at the movies!

Unless you been living under a rock, everyone knows the Star Wars movies and further its music. This was a great way to enjoy the live music as you know it while watching video that had been picked and compiled into segments to compliment the music. Yoda's theme, Theme of the Empire, Cantina, Jedi to name a few was played just as I remembered from the movies but the live orchestra made it more rich, passionate, and colorful. Lighting around the stage complimented the mood of the music and commentary from Anthony Daniels set the scene. I would liked to have heard more of the choir in the back. This is a must see for the Stars Wars fan and any orchestral music lovers. You will not be disappointed.

Fun for my 7 year old and nostalgic for my husband and I. Joining with Star Wars geeks from every walk of life and age group was almost as fun as the concert itself. Well narrated, lots of movie props, backdrops and concept art as well as fully costumed actors to take pictures with. Arrive early!

My wife and I plus 3 kids aged 8 to 10. This was a fantastic evening with picture opportunities prior to the event and a wonderful full symphony orchestra. It would have been great with just the music but the images and movie clips on the huge hd screen and the lasers were phenomenal. Anthony Daniels added a great narration between numbers.

EVERYTHING about the show, Anthony Daniels, the musicians, visuals, conductor, lights, EVERYTHING was absolutely unreal. We had the most amazing time and are still just thrilled with it. I would encourage any lover of Star Wars, music, & magical experiences to go see this performance.

This was more than a concert, it was an event! I was surprised by what a casual experience this was as I was dressed more to see the symphony than to be part of the "comic convention" atmosphere before the show. However, I didn't mind the casualness of it all. Lots of props and costumes from all of the Star Wars films which we found fascinating. The concert itself was simply awesome! The symphony sounded like I was listening to a cd they were so good, and Anthony Daniel (C3Po from the films) was the guest narrator. He was so great!!! The entire production felt like it was being presented for a live television concert, and every note, every word, every special effect, and every newly edited piece of film was PERFECT! I got goosebumps several times throughout the concert...even during the opening "20th Century Fox" fanfare!! The audience was great and full of truly die-hard Star Wars fans, but even the non-fan could appreciate the amazing symphony playing these amazing John Williams' scores. I'd recommend this to EVERYONE!

From the traveling pre-show exhibits, to the familiar musical numbers we all know and love, this show was everything I thought it would be! Prior to the opening number, seeing movie props and the elaborate costuming pieces fleshed out the Star Wars mythology and there were plenty of costumed extras happy to take a picture with you. The music was amazing to hear live and seeing some of the more iconic scenes set to live music only made the movies that much more wonderful. Anthony Daniels was the host and would go into typical C-3PO rants which kept the show well paced and fun. Same of the laser effects of the live show were a bit cheesy, but all and all, any Star Wars fan of the "old" or "new" trilogy is sure to love this show!

Incredible, Awesome, Amazing - the superlatives don't exist to describe this experience. My only regret is that I didn't attend both performances. If you have the opportunity to go to this concert, do it!

Absolutely phenomenal! The music was moving and made you feel like you were right in the movies. The scenes playing on the large screen went perfectly with the music. Explosions were pair with crescendos and staccato notes with flashes of lights and lasers. Anthony Daniels was an evocative and animated master of ceremonies. It is an experience I would gladly repeat.

Great show, any fan of the Star Wars Saga should have seen this. Awesome to see such talented musicians perform live in a flawless sounding harmony some of the best movie music ever.

This was my second time to see this show...and I would happily go a third time. This show is for Star Wars fans young and old. I did not see or hear any children moving around or talking...nothing. They were all completely engrossed in the show. Even the non-SW fan would enjoy this because the host/narrator tells a story to go along with the movie clips and music. This show is brilliant!

Let me preface my remarks by saying that I was raised by a single mother who made her living as a symphony violinist, and working studio musician. Due to that fact I have seen live orchestral productions of perhaps every conceivable configuration and probably touching on all genre's of music and art in one form or another. I went to this show expecting to hear a mediocre orchestra with strong principal musicians and weaker, lower echelon local musicians. Much to my suprise this tour seemingly travels with the full 110+ piece orchestra. The string section sounded as copacetic and unified as some of the greater symphony orchestra's I've heard including the Boston Pops and New York Philharmonic. I must add, to be fair however that this was not an acoustic orchestral performance so I cannot say for sure if there was any electronic "sweetening" going on in the booth as to the rich string sound. The quite large and very busy percussion section deserves a great deal of credit for having to work very hard and really driving home John Williams Epic sounding style of film score composition. The Tympanist in this Orchestra moved and used his mallets with such grace and dynamic aptitude that it was almost beautiful to watch him work. I should also mention the crisp and smooth sound that the other various percussionists brought to the overall performance. Each are surely well accomplished in their own right, even if, in this particular performance they may play only a triangle or cymbals. I've saved my favorite and, in my opinion the strongest section of this ensemble to talk about last here. The brass. All of these musicians brought they're A game to what sounded to me like an ironman event in musical performance endurance. As is common in the body of John Williams compositions, the brass are take the lead during those big Epic crescendo's and dynamic shifts in this music. They all performed as close to flawlessly as I've ever heard in my lifetime of concert-going. From the franticly stacatto and dynamicly diverse sections of "The Duel of the Fates", to the raw power heard on the first beat of measure one during the opening Title Crawl. These guys surely are world-class brass players. I would not be suprised if all of them were at the top of the Call list for their respective musicians unions in the major musical centers of the world, (i.e. New York, London, Vienna) As far as the visual experience goes, I was impressed by it but to be fair, somebody else could probably better review that aspect of this show than I could.
