    I loved Mon Voisin Totoro! The actors are very talented, the staging is meticulous and I think Totoro is very realistic on stage. It was MAGICAL, a return to childhood guaranteed, and I recommend it to everyone :)

    Absolutely magical from start to finish! The My Neighbor Totoro theatre production was breathtaking — the stage design, costumes, music, and acting captured the spirit of the film perfectly while adding something truly special of its own. The atmosphere was cozy, emotional, and full of wonder. I smiled the entire time and even teared up a little. A must-see for any Studio Ghibli fan — or anyone who loves beautiful storytelling.

    I've seen it twice before and it's always been good and still is. This time I got my program stamped for the number of visits. I am also in my 74th year. (But four days shy of the first performance.) (Photo is from my seat BEFORE the performance.)

    It was a great show! Great acting, live music (especially the saxophone), it was fun and dramatic at times. The actors' contact with people! And Santa, added a Christmas mood to the show! You can take an inflatable seat cushion for a child to see the stage better! My son and I are delighted!

    A Christmas Carol was truly a wonderful experience. Especially when you watch it at Christmas, it really puts you in that special Christmas mood. The actor playing Ebenezer Scrooge was very convincing, and I even shed a few tears when he hugged Timmy Tim at the end.
