I'm a huge Star Wars geek so this was a pretty great experience. My face had a huge smile plastered on it for pretty much the entire concert. The live orchestra playing the music from the movies was so amazing--I got chills on more than one occasion and not just because the arena was FREEZING!

Andrew harvesting the Force (he may be an even bigger Star Wars geek than me)It was a really cool experience (I wonder how many different ways I can say "this concert kicked ass"?). I'm so glad I saw the commercial advertising it on TV a few weeks ago. I rarely pay attention to commercials or to what events are coming to Wichita's new Intrust Bank Arena, so I could have easily missed that this show even exists, let alone that it was coming HERE!
Good night...and may the Force be with you.
