While the title of the event conjures images of a sort of highbrow Disney on Ice concept, the actual production is a far cry from performers prancing about in oversized costumes, bobbing giant heads in time to music.

This special event presents Star Wars like no one has ever seen. Taking scenes from each film, the makers of Star Wars: In Concert have created a compelling montage complete with rising and falling action that brings a new look to the classic favorites. The blend of action is a wild journey through the annals of Star Wars history complete with live orchestration.

As the montage plays out on a three story tall, high definition, LED screen, a massive orchestra and chorus provide enveloping sound, which results in an impressive show of musical prowess.

"The synchronized scenes [are arranged thematically] to go along with the impact of the music," said Lynn Ike, director of marketing at Van Andel Arena. "The live orchestra can't miss a beat. They have to be extremely talented," she said.

In addition to the sensory drama that attendees will experience during the 90 minute show, there will be original artifacts from all the movies on display.

"People can come see these items out on the concourse," said Ike, emphasizing that the Star Wars paraphernalia is such a draw that some will come out to the show primarily to get up close to "original scripts, costuming, [and] all the different things that you don't really get to see."

In fact, several items which have never been presented for public consumption before will be on display like, pages from John William's original, hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Other "never-before-seen" props like "blasters" and helmets from "Coruscant" and "Tatooine" with be available for lusty fans to gaze at.

"[There] seems to be a multigenerational interest. Fathers, grandfathers and grandsons are all coming," Ike said.

Along with plenty of mother and daughter Star Wars fans, to be sure.

"I think this is something that will create memories and it is introducing people to the symphony," said Ike.
