This is so exciting and I cannot wait for it to be on the stage and can be watched by the audience. Since childhood, I have been spirited away for more than 15 times. In the beginning, even though I was extremely terrified by the idea of turning into a pig, I still loved the show and was watching it over and over that it later become an activity where my parents would sit down with me and watch the entire movie again. This is such an important and meaningful show to me that I’m truly so excited about bringing onto the stage. At the same time, I’m also scared of the storyline and how it will be put on stage. Since animation and theatrical are different, I do imagine that it would be hard for effects in animation be put in actual theater stage and how it will be presented.
