An amazing experience!!

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.

"I'm Batman"

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.

Audio problems with Batman in Concert

New Jersey Performing Arts Center - Newark

I can only imagine how difficult it must be to balance a mix between a live orchestra and a movie soundtrack, but there were noticeable audio problems with that mix while watching Batman In Concert at NJPAC on 3/2/2024. Note: I am a semi-professional sound mixing engineer; but my generic comments would probably be said by anyone attending that night. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed listening to the NJ Symphony Orchestra's well-rehearsed and conducted performance of Danny Elfman's original score from the 1989 movie, but the sound engineers should have brought up the dialog levels, especially in quiet scenes where the orchestra's level completely overwhelmed the dialog. If it weren't for the English subtitles on screen, I wouldn't have been able to follow the story. And this might be Warner Bros fault, but many of the sound effects and foley were missing entirely from the recorded soundtrack. It was like listening to the movie during its Post-production dubbing stage when not all of the sound effects and foley are available yet. And why on Earth did they replace the Joker's canned laughter effect after his fall from the church tower? As annoying as the original repeating laughter effect was, that was kind of the Joker having his last laugh on the audience even after his demise. It was actually disruptive to the experience by replacing that original laugh track. Did Warner think that fans wouldn't notice? Put the original, annoying laugh track back in, please! Overall, it was still an enjoyable experience. Nothing beats having a live orchestra play the original score while watching a movie you love. It makes it more immersive and connects audiences more emotionally to the story and characters.

Orchestra was great

Orchestra was great, however for this film in particular it seems the score & sound effects were on the same track as most of the punches & such were missing which was odd. For the price of these events I went want every book & pow! Again, not the orchestra at fault.

Batman + Orchestra

New Jersey Performing Arts Center - Newark

Such a fantastic and unique experience to watch the 1989 classic with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack, it was truly a wonderful exchange

Excellent

New Jersey Performing Arts Center - Newark

Excellent. Only issue for me, it was to hot inside the theater and the concessions should be less time waiting. Besides that, everything was awesome.

Fantastic orchestra!

The orchestra was amazing, so good you almost forget they’re there as you watch the movie. Such skill!
