"The kids loved it! We went home and I heard them acting it out/discussing the plot line in the garden! I hope this will be a great springboard to reading the book aloud to them later on and I'm thankful for the effort your theatre is putting into creating dramatizations of quality kids' literature."

"A fantastic show. Easily the best show that we have seen at the theater."

"Great fun. Really captured our kid's imagination. The recommended age was a good suggestion, smaller kids wouldn't be able to sit still for that length of time or follow along."

"The Hobbit at the NCT was an exciting and exceptionally presented production. From the set to the costumes and lively character portrayals by the actors - a must-see for any LoTR or theatre fan. This show is better suited for older kids in line with the storyline of the actual LoTR franchise, but fun for the whole family! "
