Star Wars in Concert at The RBC Center in Raleigh Was Awesome.

We took the boys to the Star Wars in Concert show at the RBC Center last week end and it was magic. Actually we tricked them by telling them we had been given free tickets to a hockey game (not big sports fans!). There was the usual whining whenever they are taken away from their friends and so when we arrived at the stadium, Kelly pointed to the sign "Star Wars in Concert". Poor old Conor still not realizing says "why can't we go to that instead of a stupid hockey game?". Then we told them!

 

 Ha we are the meanest parents in the world!!!

So we walk in and we see a crowd milling around and what do you know Storm Troopers, and all around the arena there were cool costumes, models, drawings, a music score.

The concert was really awesome with a symphony orchestra and chorus and gigantic screen where they showed scenes from the movies. It is narrated by Anthony Daniels the actor who played C-3PO in all six movies who is treated like a rock star. Two hours long and they loved every second of it! If you want to buy a $35 t-shirt don't wait till it's over they will be sold out!

I heard about this on NPR, and I SO want to go!

Good to know it is worth seeing.

Isn't it cool to see your kids get excited over the same stuff that you drooled over when you were a kid?

Waynette, would you believe I have not seen one Star Wars movie from start to finish!!! I do think it's cool that they have completely taken to the movies and characters so much.

David,

You may be part of a very small crowd that can claim to have not seen the flicks!

David,

I've missed some to them too.  As an engineer, I have absolutely NO interest in musicals!  Haven't seen Citizen Kane either, although I wouldn't mind, just perpetually behind and I don't think they carry it in Redbox!  LOTM, Great flick. CV, laugh my butt off at the squirrel, the sledding, the lights... just hilarious!

Have you done Groundhog Day with Bill Murray?

I really missed out on this one, but the schedule didn't work out for us.  I love movies and the symphony, so this would've been the ultimate treat.

@David, I am an engineer too, but I happen to love musicals :-).  

Thanks for sharing the pictures.  I'm sure the kids loved the experience!
