"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! "

"Thank you - it was great! Love that as I read the book to my daughter now she has a wonderful overview of the whole story and can relate to the characters. Also the opening lines in the book were the opening lines of the play xxxx"
