This was a well thought out, well paced, well cast, and well designed play! It was based on the cartoon and might not appeal or make sense if you haven't seen the original, and that's fine. It's meant for fans! We were impressed by the creative solutions to physically complex characters and scenery, particularly no-face and the train. The people working the large costumes and puppets faded away as the story unfolded. The cast was top notch, dancing, singing, full of amazing energy. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire performance and the music was amazing, coming from a hidden orchestra revealed at the end. I recommend this play to anyone who loves the movie and Studio Ghibli productions.
