I’m freaking out, wondering where her parents are…Isn’t it Christmas eve? Should she be out alone? Uh. It’s taking all my self-control at this point to not jump up and yell “DONT GO UP THE LADDER!!!” So she’s on the landing by the staircase and the music is building and all of a sudden this ladder unfurls from the ceiling. She arrives at the second floor and it is empty as well. And the little girl decides to go upstairs. She goes inside and looks around and all the rooms are empty, some windows are left open, the fire place is suspiciously still on. Then the character that we are following (presumably a little girl) arrived upon this abandoned house. All you see are foot prints slowly being made in the snow. The scene begins in the middle of a snow covered forest. The concert opens with a dark stage and ominous music setting the scene for this super creepy computerized cartoon story projected on massive screens. The “theme” of their show is Christmas Attic, which is the name of their second album. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is EFFING WEIRD. Like hard-core, leather-wearing, long-haired, head-banging rock band with electric guitars, sexy dancers, pyrotechnics, and laser light shows. And they are not an “Orchestra” or a symphony. Despite the name, “Trans-Siberian” they are not from Russia. I was expecting, you know, like a full on orchestra with a bunch of people dressed in black dresses and tuxedos and lots of bassoons, and violins and classy string instruments. I thought I was going to get dressed up and sit down and enjoy a nice night at the symphony. I didn’t really know much the Trans-Siberian Orchestra other than the fact that they have a badass interpretation on Carol of the Bells and the Nutcracker theme song. I bought tickets for my parents and I and we went to the 4pm showing at Toyota Center on Friday, December 19th. Growing up, my neighbor and her family always went to see the show around Christmas time and loved it, so I decided that it would be fun to see them. Earlier in December, I received a discount to go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
