Has anyone been? We have free tickets for the end of the month and I am pretty excited but want to know what to expect.
Thanks

X, Wow TSO ... I've only seen them once, but it was such an experience. The sound just goes right through you and the visuals were wonderful. The year I went someone from one of the heavy metal band was in it(I can't remember who)!!
Who are the leads this year?
Have fun,
Pam

OOOHHHH, lucky you! I love them, but have never seen them. Didn't Metallica do some shows with them last year? I have a friend that has been many times, and she says it is absolutely awesome! Have fun!

what a great time you will have. I've seen them 3 times, and I loved every one of their shows! The first part is telling the Christmas Story, and the second part is more Xmas music and also debuting new stuff, and local stuff.
I must warn you, it is LOUD! Depending on how close you are sitting to the stage, you might consider ear plugs. I wished I had them the last time I saw them, we were pretty close, and my ears rang for 3 days after the concert. I do not think that the ear plugs would have made my experience any less dramatic. They are just incredible.
Enjoy!

Yes, every year since 2002! Highly recommended!
X - go to iTunes and listen to excerpts from "Lost Christmas Eve and Other Stories" - or just go ahead and buy it.

The show is a rock opera based on this album, which is outstanding! It adds another dimension if you understand the story going in. It is a very touching Christmas story!
Here's a summary from their site:

We are going to Hartford on 11/30. I am very excited. I am not sure where our tickets are yet, I will find out in a week or so, but we are both really looking forward to it.

I've seen their show and it was terrific! Would not hesitate to see them again! That being said, most of the people I went with did not really enjoy it, but I don't think they are huge fans. I love all of their CD's but especially the Christmas CD's. Now, if I could just get someone to go with me . . . .
