I'm sure by now everyone knows that my son loves anything Star Wars. For his birthday this year, we bought tickets for him and Daddy to go to Star Wars in Concert.
What exactly is Star Wars in Concert? I'll let the official website explain:
"Star Wars in Concert is a unique event that combines John Williams' unforgettable music, performed by a live symphony orchestra and chorus, with specially edited footage from all six Star Wars films. Through each musical piece, audiences will experience the key themes, characters ands story elements of the epic Star Wars saga from a new perspective. Taking a remarkable excursion into the heart of a galaxy far, far away."
Before the actual concert, they were able to see different props and costumes from various movies:
"Nestled deep in the confines of the George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, the Lucasfilm Archives is a magical place. Its contents include models, storyboards, illustrations, costumes and props from all six Star Wars films. Over the years a number of these other worldly items have been exhibited around the globe, but not everything has seen the light of day. Many items have been stored for as long as 30 years, unseen since they were last in front of a camera--until now."
There were also many people there dressed up in "character." They were able to get many cool pictures and see a lot of neat stuff.
They both agreed that the concert itself was AWESOME! (Funny side note: after the 1st song, everyone clapped. C said "Is that all?")
It was a long/late evening (they left around 4 and didn't get home till after 10). They came home with an awesome program. But according to both, it was well worth it.
Here are some of their picutres. (PS: check back for info on what K and I did that night)
