off to see the wizard

Guess where we went on the Saturday before Christmas? Yes... it was concert time! At The Helix

Well, actually, no it wasn't actually "concert" time... it was movie AND concert time all rolled into one!

Have you ever seen a film with a full orchestra playing the score live in front of you?

Well we have! And it was an amazing experience!

And the film was none other than....

- drum roll please -

Everyone has seen it, so I wont' go into the story. But, just to jog your memory a little, here are some key frames by way of synopsis...

You'll have to imagine how amazing it was for the storm scene music to be thundered out by the orchestra live on stage in front of the screen!

Amazingly enough, during the quieter, calmer scenes, you'd almost forget the orchestra was there. The actors' voices were unchanged, of course... it was just the recorded music that was replaced by the orchestral version.

And, yes, the wicked witch was just as wicked as she always is!
