Star Wars in Concert


Star Wars In Concert is so magical any other discription would be an understatement! Picture this if you can A huge area where you probably go to see Ringling Bros. Barnum ans Bailey Circus when it comes to town. Over the loudspeakers when you are getting to your seats you hear sounds from all six movies like Wookie growls or Vaders Breath so close you look over your shoulder just to make sure it your wife and not the Lord of the Sith standing behind or beside you. You buy a program for the show on your way to your seats maybe some other memorbilia like a lightsaber key chain or poster. After you find your seats (my wife and I were lucky enough to be in the second row from the stage) you notice people of all ages dressed as STAR WARS charachters. Then as the lights dim the famous A long time ago in a galaxy far far away appears and then to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra live on stage we see and hear the familiar Main theme . The ground acually shook beneath our feet not like a earthquake but oh how magical it was. Then as the main theme ended steam came up from the stage and over the loud speaker Darth Vader introduced Anthony Daniels in a unique way and then there he was standing next to Dirk Bosse the conductor and as the man that played the golden droid from day 1 spoke ,from the lips of this well dressed Englishman came the voice of C3PO and  it was truly magical. I will not say anymore except that after the show were rare photo ops against backdrops from different movies and people dressed as Sandpeople, Jawas,Stormtroopers,Bobafett and Emporer Palpatines Royal Guard along with the original props from all movies including the carbonite slab that encased poor Han Solo.
