“The Greatest Show on Middle-earth”
The Guardian
“…a beautiful, luscious staging of the epic musical version of The Lord of the Rings… every movement is impressively finessed… mesmeric use of projection… boldly inventive puppetry… a company that embodies the camaraderie the fiction itself celebrates.”
The Telegraph
‘‘Exhilarating and Immersive’’
“An Absolute Masterpiece’’
“Crackles with innovation”
iNews
“Paul Hart’s production is something rather wizard… it is filled with battles, fellowship, adventure and emotional intimacy. Terrific lighting, projections and puppetry play a huge part.”
The Mail on Sunday
“… an unmissable, spectacular production”
British Theatre Guide
‘‘Without doubt, fans of The Lord of the Rings franchise, as well as the newbies, will absolutely adore this musical production’’
The Australian Review
“Paul Hart’s spellbinding production… is an old-fashioned appeal to the imagination, using the stage as a box of brilliant tricks… Simple yet ingenious lighting, illusion, puppetry and projection transport Frodo — and the audience — through mystical lands… I arrived a Tolkien skeptic and left beguiled.”
The Daily Mail
“Precious moments of magic”
The Stage
“…this extraordinary retelling at the Watermill Theatre draws its audience into the narrative like no other medium I have experienced…as well as being extraordinarily exuberant and inclusive, this production had found its time and purpose too. Tolkien would have been so proud…”
WhatsOnStage
“…a beautiful, moving evening of theatre, and a wonderful chance to immerse yourself in Tolkien’s great story.”
