The show was an amazing experience. The Godfather is a true work of art adding the live orchestra just elevated the experience.
I recently saw The Godfather at the NJ PAC with the NJ Symphony Orchestra, and all I can say is, "WOW!"I have seen the movie, conservatively speaking, roughly 75 times, but never on the big screen. So that in itself was a treat. But to have a live orchestra adding to the soundtrack was simply breathtaking. It made the experience much more visceral. These top-notch musicians flawlessly performed the music, and for someone who has seen the movie so many times, there were only one or two moments where the orchestra pulled me out of the movie-watching experience. These were minor in the scope of the entire performance. What a great experience!
Enjoyed every second of the movie and the live music
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT I WATCH A MOVIE WITH NJ SYMPHONY PLAYING, AND IT'S A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
It was a riveting and engaging performance and the orchestra wad dynamite, very much enjoyed this show!
We had a nice time at Count Basie listening to the NJ Orchestra. The show was advertised as Epic Scores of John Williams and more. The first act was all of the "more". While it was nice music, we would have liked to have a bit less of that and then hear the theme from Jurassic Park, Home Alone and Indiana Jones. Overall, we had a great night out at the theater though and enjoyed it a lot. The Star wars music and Superman theme was amazing!
This was one of the best events I’ve been to . I absolutely enjoyed it . I had the privilege to experience This event with my Husband and share my thoughts and insights . I would give it a 10 star if it was possible.. the different instruments playing was captivating..love to do this again .
I have never seen any of the original Star Wars movies on the big screen. This was a great treat for the 8 year old kid inside me. The symphony was absolutely phenomenal.
Excellent seating, fantastic coverage, NJPAC staff professionally proficient, and seeing the movie on a big screen with orchestra background for the first time since 1989. Hope there's more to come.
Incredible show- the Symphony was amazing and performed perfectly to the Best Batman movie made!
