The play is based on the film, but it also uses elements from Shinkai's book version, which adds much more to the characters' backgrounds, especially Takao's family.

This makes me really hope there'll be a way to watch the play online at some point. I liked the movie, but I felt like the novel went into so much more depth and I enjoyed it a lot more. I'd be really interested to see how the stage play adapts it too.

I hope more peopleget to see it. I saw the play last week and really loved it, and I think everyone in the audience did. But filming plays is really expensive, and the theatre they did it in is quite small and never filmed any productions as far as I know sadly. Maybe the Tokyo one will be a bit more of an opportunity.
