The Trans-Siberian Orchestra: Wow!!! | 12/13/2007
By Debra Mazda
When Emily told me she had seats for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra I truly had no idea of who they were or the music they played.
What appealed to me were 2 things: First it was a CHRISTMAS SHOW (and this is truly my favorite time of the year other than when I can lay on the beach somewhere.) I truly love the holidays, which to me is all about the Christmas music. The other thing that appealed to me was that I love to go and see any orchestra live. With that said I was all excited to go relax and see them. What I did not expect was to see a show that totally BLEW ME AWAY. I can say that without a doubt this was the best concert I have experienced in my adult life, with the exception of course of my man BARRY MANILOW. I loved him in concert.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was an experience, not just a show. If you’ve seen them you know what I’m talking about. I am not sure of how to describe it but this show covered all of the ages. After the show, I said to my friend Bernadette that I can see how any kid over 10 would love this. First of all the Diva in me loved the floor seats. When I go to a concert I want to see the performers sweat. And I got my wish. It was over 3 hours of talent that tapped into all of my senses, especially the visual. The light and laser show were nothing I had ever seen before. I was mesmerized by it all. Here you have these adorable long haired musicians in pseudo-tuxedo’s who can play fantastic music, sing like power-houses, tell a powerful story and are so gorgeous to watch running all over the stage. What else could a girl want for Christmas? This show was fabulous and my thanks to the B101 for giving me the tickets. Next year I want front row seats - not only to see them sweat but I want to feel it.
