The show was magical the music was amazing I would highly suggest going because you’ll have the time of your life the story was very calming.
Absolutely fantastic show. As a family, we love the film, and taking our 11 and 9 year old to it was brilliant, even though it was massively expensive. The magical animals were fantastic in scale and expertly controlled by an army of "invisible" stage hands. Drinks and snacks were predictably overpriced - £4.50 for a standard large packet of Jelly Tots, for example. What was the most ridiculous was £30 for a tiny blue Totoro soft toy. It could fit on a keyring, it's so small..and thirty quid. It's a tiny bit cheaper on their website, but not much. A massive shame the kids couldn't get a souvenir of their experience due to the shameful price gouging. Almost soured my experience of the whole thing.
My husband and I went to see this on a whim. It was absolutely magical! The puppetry was so impressive. I would happily see it again!
There were no seats on the expensive tickets and we were allocated very bad seats!!! Vxxxx
