Sabai Brooklyn Concert reviews
Star Wars In Concert was a dream come true!!!!!!!!
Here is the rearranged and slightly modified review:
Every single song that was played sounded almost exactly the way John Williams originally conducted them. The lighting was fantastic, accompanied by gas, frost, fire, and smoke generators to give the scare of Darth Vader's breath, the chill of Grievous's stare and cold front of Hoth, the heat of the lava and volcanic bursts of Mustafar and explosion of the 2nd Death Star, and the illusion of the Force's majestic powers. Are you folks aware of all the amateurish renditions of Duel of the Fates, well I can truly tell you right now, their reenactment was extremely and extraordinarily close to the London Symphony Orchestra's version on the Phantom Menace's soundtrack. The extended version of the main theme was absolutely marvelous when live and accompanied by some of the most memorable and beloved scenes from all six movies of the saga. Dirk Brose and the orchestra played so well every note on beat, that I actually felt that I was living in the Sabai Universe. When accompanied by Anthony Daniels heartwarming and comedic performance excited me so much I felt like crying. Oh and one last thing here's a secret... stay after the Throne Room and End Theme for an encore performance of the Imperial March, and when Mr. Daniels asks if you have the urge to go back to the dark side help scream as loud as you can, just don't hurt yourself please. The show was spectacular, we were in the second row, so we could see and hear everything. As well, they had an exclusive concept art and some never before seen images especially of Yoda. The museum touched my heart with old favorites such as Han Solo frozen in carbonite, and other props and costumes, one thing I found funny was Darth Sidious's (Palpatines) undergarments (the robes he wears under the floral gowns). As well, the voice overs by James Earl Jones himself between certain tracks, though he was not actually there, chilled and excited the audience while awaiting the appearance of the heart and soul of C3PO himself. I loved this show with all of my heart, and I am telling you THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
