I saw it today, it was amazing! Mone Kamishiraishi as Chihiro was definitely a highlight, but the whole cast and crew did a fantastic job, the show was magical!
@@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.
@@maciej3212 ahh okay. I'm gong to be seated towards the side and in the middle so hopefully it'll be easy to read. I won't be mad if i can't see the subtitles though since i know the story very well
I saw it too a couple of days ago while on vacation in Europe. Amazing show! I had the less expensive seats and it was still great. Can’t imagine how good it must be from the good seats. Could feel the energy in that coliseum at the end. Totally worth the price
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!!!
Absolutely out of this world! I cannot recommend this show enough and words/videos cannot do it justice. You have to sit in that theatre and watch the magic unfold! GO! It is worth every penny! ♥
This is truly going to be great! Being a crazy number one ghibli fan, and Spirited Away being one of my favourite films ever, I can assure you that I’ve already booked the very front seats.
Wonderful. I think it is wonderful to perform it in Japanese. I cannot speak a word but I always prefer to watch his films in Japanese with subtitles as I feel the emotions more. I saw this film as an adult but it both took me back to my childhood and moved me on a deep spiritual level. He is a genius.
This is so exciting. I am honestly considering now travelling hours by train to London just for the opportunity to see this on stage. 🤩 This would be such a moment to remember.
@@akas224 I assume it might go to the States too after the current run, but if you do consider coming to the UK, I hope you enjoy London and the performance! 🇬🇧🎭
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.
We watched The Boy and the Heron in Japanese with subtitles by chance. My son (12) is not so much into subtitles, but he could easily follow the story, as 80 % of it are told by the visuals anyway.
Urgh, I hate going to London, it's so hard to get trains from where I live. I was all for passing this up until they said, "Performed in Japanese by the original cast". Might have to try and get to see it now.
What's that man on about? Spirited Away is far more respected than Peter Pan and Alice in wonderland. They're little stories for children. Spirited Away is one of the greatest movies ever created
absolut shameful shame for humanity, that we keep squeezing great animations onto a dirrrty stages =/ such a waste -.- no1 needs life-action of good animation!, let alone these earballz crippeling musicals ....bäh

i assume it's in japanese? it says on the website that there will be subtitles. How were they displayed?

We will be going in a few wks is there merch? How does it work with queuing etc? X
I saw it on Saturday... Just. Incredible. I felt like a child. They absolutely did this justice.

Yuba-ba- actress is amazing. She also did the voice over for the original animation 20 years ago.
彼女は今71歳ですね。この役は、他の女優には譲れなかったのでしょう。とてもパワフルな女優です😊
There are several actors who play Chihiro, and one of them, Mone Kamishiraishi, was the voice of Mitsuha in "Your Name."
Mari Natsuki who plays Yubaaba in this production was also did her voice in animated movie❤
Came out of the theatre 20 minutes ago.
It was beautiful.

I'm so glad ITV news are covering this ♥, I saw the theatre show the other day, it was INCREDIBLE ❤❤
Watching the performance later this month and I'm so so hyped! 😍🥹🔥

I so hope this comes to the U.S.!
This is so exciting. I am honestly considering now travelling hours by train to London just for the opportunity to see this on stage. 🤩
This would be such a moment to remember.
Do it, I'm watching it later this month, and this performance has most of the original voice-over cast too!
I am considering travelling by airplane to London...why not in NY? 🥲
@@akas224 I assume it might go to the States too after the current run, but if you do consider coming to the UK, I hope you enjoy London and the performance! 🇬🇧🎭
私は映画を何度も観ましたが、始まると知らないうちにエンディングを迎える魔法のような時間を過ごすことができます。
Come to NYC please…
I can’t believe I’ll be seeing this this month!!!
to listen to the score in theatre alone would be worth while
Absolutely right and it was, saw it tonight. Joe Hisaishi is a master
Good to see anime coverage on uk news like itv
I'm not gonna lie, that thumbnail looked as if they were both in a courtroom facing trial, lmao.
Lmaaoo I thought so too!
I can hear objections from a mile away
I thought it was an SNL skit at a quick glance lol
That's just Ace Attorney. Phoenix Wright has to defend Chihiro. He's gonna have to cross examine the pig parents.
I’m going tomorrow night I’m so so excited!!!!!
Mone you are best
If it's easy that means someone already done it ❤
息子が幼稚園児の時にDVDを購入して、一日に何回も観て、大好きな映画でした、また、日本で舞台をやるなら、観に行きたいと思います。
イギリスの公演前に日本公演は終了してます。
Looks Fantastic
Saw it last night at the London Collesium. It was amazing!!
I saw it on HBO Max and it’s a great adaptation. I wish I could see it live.
You can watch the theatrical production on Max??
So excited to be seeing this at some point ! ❤
so excited to see it
We are going to see it tonight...very excited 😊

@@ebichu-dechu I don't think that's possible. If you are looking at the words you aren't looking at the screen. At most you can move between them.
@@AndyHibberdI can read the subtitles and watch the scene at the same time. For me the subtitles can help me with reading too.
We watched The Boy and the Heron in Japanese with subtitles by chance. My son (12) is not so much into subtitles, but he could easily follow the story, as 80 % of it are told by the visuals anyway.
If I didn't already know the story I would have had trouble keeping up with the story, but cos I know the film by heart it was fine
Awesome!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Might need to visit London just for this
Urgh, I hate going to London, it's so hard to get trains from where I live. I was all for passing this up until they said, "Performed in Japanese by the original cast". Might have to try and get to see it now.
That's a dream come true 🤩
Hopefully they come to NY next! I’m so jealous
Pretty sure it's also being released on streaming services this month
I'm flying from Portugal for this ahah cant wait
I'm flying from NY only to meet Mone.
I love the stage play My Neighbor Totoro that was also staged in London.
Wow 🤩 one of my favorite anime movies can’t wait to see it live on stage someday 👍❤️
Come to Austria please😊
so awesome to hear about this, will make a journey if I can get tix
How do captions work in the theater? That sounds like such a cool experience. Wish I could go to London to see this!
Good news
Nice video thanks☝😃👍☀Celebration☀
🎉㊗️London 🇬🇧 first performance🎊
Thank you to the Japan Ambassador😉💕
✨Really like😍💓💐ヽ(.^ ▽ ⌒ ｡)/♪♫♬✨
上白石萌音真係好似動畫內嘅主角

I wish I was in London but stuck in Australia😢

Yahoo Miyazaki… 😂
これって日本語で上演してるの？
そうです！
Haya Ho 😅
The way they always say non-English names wrong. "Hiyaho" Miyazaki, really?
That’s a menos grande
Did she just say ya who Miyazaki?!
rooted!!😹
How is this good news?
Spirited Away? Truthfully, I have seen the movie. And I really disliked the movie. Cause scares me alittle, especially No Face character.
イギリスでは、千尋役の俳優はぶっさいくな女の子なんやろうなあ(笑)
What do you mean? I think the original Japanese actor suits Chihiro’s character well, and London will use the original cast.
そんな事ないですよ。橋本環奈さんや上白石萌音さんが演じられてます
人の容姿批判する前に己の姿を鏡で観てから発言しろ
I'm from the UK and she's beautiful 😍
absolut shameful shame for humanity, that we keep squeezing great animations onto a dirrrty stages =/ such a waste -.-
no1 needs life-action of good animation!, let alone these earballz crippeling musicals ....bäh
