Jeremy P 11/23/2024 Wonderful. This live theatrical adaptation has depth and power to the story. See more Beth 05/11/2023 An incredible display of theatrical mastery. The movie was translated almost perfectly to the stage and constantly wowed with the tricks they used to mirror the movie imagery. The acting was incredible, especially the actress playing Yubaba, who had to really belt out some lines. An absolute must-see for fans of the original movie and Ghibli in general. See more Victoria 05/05/2023 This production was like nothing I've ever seen- and I've seen a lot of shows! Fabulous use of puppetry, sets, and music to create scenes that were almost exactly like the beloved movie. Incredible! Please show it again if you can! See more Melissa 05/04/2023 For fans of the movie only I'd say. There were a few times that I laughed and others that were wholesome. It made me want to watch the movie again :) I found it particularly interesting how the doors moved to make it look like they were running along a corridor when they were in fact running from one side to the other.
