So is this how the MN Orchestra musicians will be dressed tonight?

This weekend the Minnesota Orchestra takes us back, but not as far back as it usually does. Instead, it will focus on the more recent classical hits... from the '80s. Some highlights from the program:

"Welcome to the Jungle"

"Like A Virgin"

"In Your Eyes"

"Total Eclipse of the Heart"

"Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)"

"Come on, Eileen"

"Every Breath You Take"

"Time After Time"

and, of course - "Thriller"

So will the musicians be wearing tuxes and ties, or legwarmers and acid wash jeans?
