Whether a HxH fan or a musical fan, you'll enjoy this beautiful story

Story:
Takes place sometime after the Hunter Test and before the York Shin story arc.  You should probably know what nen powers are, but it's not necessary

This is a totally new side story.  It's basically our 4 hunters versus the mystery of the Elrais kingdom.  Telling any more would give away the really funny ongoing joke during this musical.  Theme of the musical: "life"

Singing and dancing:
You get singing, you get dancing, AND you get fight scenes.  The music is beautfiul, I wish I had the soundtrack.

Important People:
Here's the awesome thing, Gon, Kurapica, Leeorio, Killua, and Hisoka are all played by their voice actors.  You might think that would make it suck, but NO!!!  They are SO good even live.

The actress for Madam Isabel is also the same one as Utena in the Utena Musical.

Ichige Midori, Shin Densetsu's Fish's Eye plays one of the villains here too.

The director is the same as the one for the First stage of Sera Myu.  I think that's why this musical is so good.

Bad:
Might seem funky for people who've never seen HxH.  Still, it's a solid anime musical, I think everyone should give it a try.

Good:
I LOVE HxH.  Any HxH fan should see this, it's the perfect addition to the Hunter X Hunter world  (especially after those boring OVAs).  The story is fresh (for those of you tired of the repetative Sera Myu stories), the characterization is perfect, the singing fits perfectly, it's like the feeling you get when watching Sera Myu for the first time.

Bonus:
At the end is interviews with all the actors.
