Char, NC Star Wars Music/Movie in concert

Debuting in April 2009, Star Wars: A Musical Journey will feature narration from one of the most recognizable and distinctive voices from the Star Wars Saga.

The show features an extensive selection of Oscar-winning composer John Williams' unforgettable scores from all six Star Wars films, synthesizing them into an extraordinary two-hour musical event. In addition to live narration provided by Daniels, the performance will additionally feature a state-of-the-art 100-foot video screen showing iconic scenes from the movies.

Daniels says: "I'm so excited to be asked to tell the story to such a huge audience. Years ago C-3PO conducted the London Symphony Orchestra in the Albert Hall. Most exciting night of his life... mine too. Now it's my turn to stand on Europe's greatest new stage at The O2. I'm not wearing gold this time, but Threepio will be with me in spirit."

The live multi-media performance also includes an exhibition of memorabilia from all six films, including original models, props, costumes and production artwork. The Star Wars: A Musical Journey exhibit will feature many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and never-before-seen items from the Lucasfilm Archives. Many of these exhibits are leaving Skywalker Ranch for the first time!


Full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon will be on display.

For the first time ever, John Williams' original hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace will be exhibited for the public.

Also on display will be various never-before-seen props from the films, including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other iconic Star Wars locations.

I can't wait for this!! Now I just have to decide if I want to buy tickets for Greenville or wait to see if it comes to Charlotte

 

It is coming to Charlotte on November 7, 2009 @ Time Warner Cable Arena.

 

Being that my birthday is Nov. 8th, the wife just bought two tickets for the Charlotte show...Section F2, Row B, Seats 5&6. Oh, I'll definitely be able to feel force there!

Side note: Looks like Celebration V rumors are starting to fly. Anyone plan on going if/when it's announced? Just curious.

 

I'm going to the Greenville concert. Should be great.

 

ill be out of town for the show here in charlotte... but we're going to the greenville show on thursday.


oh yeah...and CV I am definately excited to see about where they're going to have it.

 

At the last minute they asked for troopers so make sure you look for the usual suspects.

Sadly I mean joyfully my friend is getting married on the 7th.

I would have liked to have gone to the concert but finances just said no.

 

Did anyone make it? My brother-in-law got married on the 7th so we couldn't go. I think my husband was prepared to buy tickets if it had been another weekend.

Anyone know if there are other showings in North Carolina? I keep thinking Raleigh would be nice, because my parents are half an hour away so I have built-in babysitters.
