Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage

Star Trek celebrates its fiftieth anniversary this year, which is ten times longer than the "five year mission" featured in the TV series. And while every fan has a favorite iteration (even though anything other than the original is clearly the wrong choice), most will agree that the music makes the show work. Think of the Kirk/Spock fight scene from "Amok Time" without that insistent score — it would lose so much tension. And music is what Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage is all about. Justin Freer conducts a symphony orchestra key musical moments while scenes from all of the TV series and five of the films are shown on a 40-foot screen. Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage starts at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Fox Theatre (527 North Grand Boulevard; 314-534-1111 or www.fabulousfox.com). Tickets are $25 to $100.
