Review: Theatrical Wizardry Propels Public's Inventive 'The Hobbit'

My sister was able to get us tickets to go see this show this Sunday for the matinee. When I first heard about it, I was skeptical, as I’m not the hugest fan of the Hobbit trilogy. But once hearing more about the storyline and the technical aspects, I was intrigued. It seemed as though this was a creative way to tell a story about a story that many audiences already knew thanks to the books and the movies. Knowing now how many puppets are in this show, I am beyond excited to see them in action on Sunday and I can’t wait to see how they add to the play’s storyline and work to incorporate the amount of magic and fairytale that both the book and the movies entail. I hope that this continues to get the good reviews that it’s been receiving, because it’s clear that it’s a show that is great for all ages, supplying the parents with a good story and the kids with the awe of magic by using puppetry. I hope that I will enjoy this show as much as the reviewer did from this article.
