    The theatre was fantastic! It was incredibly exciting and a pleasure to see the stage version of such a globally beloved film in person. Even though I have watched Spirited Away many times, I was thrilled to see the stage version’s adjustments and new elements, like the music arrangement, new songs, and dances. Not to mention, the set design was absolutely wonderful. Today is definitely marked as one of the best days of my life. Thank you to the entire production team and cast for bringing this production to the stage!!!

      @@mynamsaj98 yes, it was in Japanese. There were three LED panels around the stage that displayed surtitles - two on the sides and one above the stage. The one above the stage wasn't visible from the front rows in the stalls, so you had to look away to read subs on one of the side panels. Not ideal.

    When Miyazaki was asked whether people should watch his animations in Japanese he said choose the version where you can most enjoy the visuals. This being in Japanese means I'd be reading rather than watching those beautiful set pieces and characters.
    Nevertheless I'm glad this production exists and the story is passed to newer generations in a fresh format.
