(about the sore throat) He must be really good to keep people entertained and their attention for so long! How'd you find out about the show? No kidding! (about the sore throat)

Part of the fun is that he is going through it real fast, switching voices and doing different gestures with his body to take on the different characters, while (at times) throwing in jokes and poking fun at the poke-worthy parts of the original movies at the same time. The other crazy thing is that he only takes a few short breaks (one between each movie) to grab a quick drink of water off to the side of the stage, and then starts right back up again, nonstop till the end of the movie. His throat must be pretty tough (or sore) after doing that every night. No, just him - no costumes or props.

Honey, pack our bags and get the tickets. We're gonna go see something about Star Wars in NYC!!!! (If that doesn't entice him, nothing will). :-) Question for you though- how can one man play all parts? Did he have costumes, or was it just dialog? How did he do that and make it look funny at the same time? Well, that seems like a good enough excuse to go to New York for me! Honey, pack our bags and get the tickets.

I would go so far as to say that if you are even half the fan that I am (of the original trilogy, not the new ones) it's worth the cost of the trip to New York just to see this show; it was literally one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
