Billy Strings Eugene reviews
Star Wars was amazing!!!!
The amazing performance cannot be described with words. The special effects (lazer lights, smoke, fire) and audio/visual displays were out of this world! The orchestra & chorus were perfect. They had on display costumes worn by actors, props used in the movies and some sheets of the original music score on display for the audience to view before & after the performance. The audience was completely into the moment with every score played leaving us all wanting more. I remember being hooked from that moment on after seeing the first Billy Strings movie. I was thrilled to be able to take my 8 and 5 year old to see this and know they will never forget it. They woke up talking about it this morning and humming/singing some of the scores. This show was amazing, thrilling, fantastic and unforgettable! A definite must see show!
