Great performance, fabulous venue. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.
He was excellent as was the conductor and orchestra, highly recommend seeing him again
What can I tell you? Jaws is on my top ten list, and hearing the fabulous NJ Symphony made it a surreal experience! But I must add a note -- every one of the staff members at NJPAC were super! Friendly, courteous, helpful -- just lovely people. Kudos to them! And congratulations on a fantastic presentation!
Loved this combination of The Movie Jaws with live music by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. It was fabulous, I highly re ommend.
Great melding of orchestra and film. The legendary film score brought to life. Jaws, has been seen numerous times, but with Live Symphony was a treat. Better than the 3D version that was shown over the Summer. NJPAC is a very nice concert hall. Comfortable seats with good sight lines. Acoustics also very good. Clean restrooms. Pleasant atrium for a beverage or coffee before or at Intermission. More events to follow.
Great time to remember the original movie…. And enjoy the iconic score!!
The NJ Symphony never disappoints-always an amazing experience! When paired with films, they enhance the experience & are simply spectacular!
This was our second NJ symphony Star Wars event. As good as the first. We will be back!
The orchestra was wonderful!! My son and I thoroughly loved the show
Fantastic! Live music, Star Wars, characters! Droids! What could be better? The venue is stunning. We had a great time! There were costumed characters in the lobby for meet and greets and pictures. There was R2D2, C-3PO… it was great. Very friendly staff. Would do again for other NJSO + movie…
Excellent! It was like watching a movie and hearing a concert in one!
Everything was great. From the very helpful parking attendants to NJPAC staff who guided and assisted us, as we dealt with mobility issues using a scooter. The acoustics were exceptional. The choices of music went well together. We knew the Pathetique which brought us to the concert. The other two pieces were new to us and very unexpected.
Saw our favorite movie Casablanca with the NJ Symphony live orchestral accompaniment. It was fantastic. Even though I’ve seen the film numerous times having a live orchestra brought the love story to another level. It would be a great to do this with other classic movies.
It was our first time at an opera, we had a fantastic time! The artists were incredible, definitely will happen again.
Rebel's "Chaos" new to me and lovely for its water passages. Second tier a fine seat for viewing the keyboard of a superb, sensitive young Finnish pianist. Acoustics wonderful. Brahms' 2nd Symphony a joy to hear live. All enhanced by my recent trip to Europe, and Stenz's fluid conducting sans score(!).
Terrific show! The theme and atmosphere of the show was tremendous. Fun and interactive for kids and adults alike. What a wonderful day!
Saw Jason Alexander in Las Vegas loved the diverse show With His Hair. This show had no comedy with an emphasis performing obscure Broadway show tunes with the quality New Jersey Symphony. Some song and dance is great not the entire show. Go back to the more enjoyable comedy and song and dance. Sorry not my preference of presentation. Theater is wonderful.
Although the show was excellent, I was expecting more of the Afro-Cuban sounds and music as advertised.
With one original new piece debuting and Prokofiev and Respighi, this concert was a delight. We especially enjoyed the way conductor ran the Respighi Fountains and Pines of Rome together to create one flowing piece. Marvelous!
The NJSO played the music and captivated the audience with the beauty of the notes.
