The scene where Haku's actor appears... The card, which is an important prop, is dropped, but the ensemble cast instantly hides it with their knees, and in the next scene Mone (Chihiro) acts as if there is a card. increase.It's very natural. I like when MONE KAMISHIRAISHI improvises because he makes it feel real.

[@neon.pink.productions]

Oh wow I didn’t even notice that until I read your comment! They definitely played it off very well and naturally.

[@fuimeichan2189]

@@neon.pink.productions Did you get your ticket? I was lucky enough to see this play five times.Seeing ”SPIRITED AWAY" on the live stage is like entering a dream world. However, when I watched the video streamed in Japan, I was able to see MONE's detailed acting and facial expressions in detail, and it felt like a live performance. Please go to the theater!

She has everything a stage actor needs Mone's ability to express herself moves the audience Her expressive ability impresses the audience. I hope to see her even more powerful expression in the second performance! I hope I can get a ticket...! I wonder if I can get a ticket...

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

Haku says he put a spell into the onigiri so it would "breath a little life" into Chihiro - and then when she eats it she finally let herself feel the weight of everything that has happened to her so far and breaks into tears. It's been a while since I saw the movie, I didnt remember that little detail

Mone is so amazing and can’t wait for the revival of the show this summer! I remember her performance when I watched The knight’s tale first time in 2018. John Caird has casted her in his productions as a main character in 4 different works. She is his muse for his work and really loved the play “daddy long legs”, too!!

My favorite scene in mone's acting... ・The scene where you cry while eating a rice ball really hurts my heart. ・Please pay attention to the movement in the scene where Yubaba's magic pulls her to her room. ・Mime that comes out a lot is also a highlight. I do a lot of detailed acting. Don’t miss out!

[@stevetheduck1425]

I was lucky enough to see this play in London, at the Coliseum, in June, 2024, and was greatly impressed by the performers. There are even songs added, which I did not expect. There is also time for most of the performers to gain a moment to take 'centre stage' and show what they can do. The puppeting of smaller characters I'm getting used to, as many British stage performances now use puppeting to create things impossible otherwise. This became famous with the play 'War Horse', which was later made as a film. I was fortunate to see the 'Tonari no Totoro' / 'My Neighbour Tototoro' stage play the year before.
