We took the kids to the Scottrade Center this past Thursday to see Star Wars in Concert. The show features clips of the movie on a huge HD screen while the Royal Philharmonic plays music from the movie. The show was narrated by Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO.
As we entered, we found out that our tickets had been "upgraded" from the nosebleeds to the club level for some reason, which was a nice surprise. Before the show, we walked along the concourse to see the displays of costumes from the movie. My favorite was Darth Vader, but Adam loved it all.
The show itself was awesome. Going in, I wasn't sure how interesting it would be, but they did a really good job with Anthony Daniels setting the stage and with the video clips. They were effectively little music videos with different themes, such as Luke, Yoda, Darth Vader, etc. Adam has been to different events recently, and tends to wiggle around and talk during the show. This time he sat attentively, at times with a huge smile on his face. Emily enjoyed watching the violins in the orchestra, and seemed mesmerized by the speed at which they changed notes.
I have included a few clips from the show, below (don't tell George Lucas - you know how he is!)
