    Miraculous. Mind-boggling. Masterful. Other M-words. first off, this is a very well-done recording. there's a solid balance of "stage view" and close-ups on the actors, whose performance are excellent. it was genuinely a little surreal to see the girl playing Chihiro…

    Imagine thinking Haku or Lin is the hottest actor onstage and then during the curtain call No Face drops the mask revealing a smokin babe

    Cried at bows because I forgot they were actors. Theatre at it’s best.

    watching how they translated animation into dance and puppets was really lovely, a lot of really strong choices. it must’ve been so fun to be part of this cast or work in the art department. god i love this story!

    Spirited Away: Live on Stage

    8.5/10 it fully embraces the magic of the original story and adapts it with love and heart. I loved watching every moment of its runtime. I hope more projects are adapted with the same love that was given to this one

    Breathtaking. An almost perfect adaptation. Just amazed because I was sure it couldn't be done. The one needle scratch moment for me was the "boyfriend" comment. but other than that

    Pretty meh. I can’t imagine people really liking this if they don’t already like the anime. They didn’t add any new ideas or alternative takes on the story, and there were only a couple of songs. I thought the production quality of the costumes, fx, and video projections…

    The Live Action was a great adaptation of the film Spirited Away. The production was done so well and the casting was just great, I’d absolutely love to watch it again!

    AMC Fashion Valley San Diego: They played the animated movie instead of the play. Best they could do was refund the money and shared Hopefully they will try to show it next week.
