Spirited Away

“Meticulous in its visual detail and choreography, delightful in its puppetry, both mediative and whirling in it speed, and packed full of comedy and adventure. The puppetry designed by Toby Olié is a combination of the cute, magical and comic.”
THE GUARDIAN

“It’s an exciting fantasy with puppets playing principle characters and moving effortlessly around the stage…proving that a fusion of Western and Eastern theatrical senses creates an amazingly innovative means of expression.”
NIKKEI

“Aficionados of the material will note the brilliance with which characters are brought to three-dimensional life by the genius puppet designer, Toby Olié, and his hard-working team.”
NEW YORK TIMES

“The puppets move around and interact with Chihiro as if they were alive…this stage adaptation succeeds in recreating many wonderful moments, not as mere imitations of the film, but in a way that draws out the fascination of theatre as a medium.”
ASAHI SHIMBUN

“Using puppetry, design and music, Spirited Away streams across the stage with boundless invention.”
