Don't miss the theatrical event of 2025 as the record-breaking, award-winning MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO transfers to London's West End.
Find your spirit with the return of the "awe-inspiring" (Time Out) production of Studio Ghibli's MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO, in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV. Following two rapturously received, sell-out runs at the Barbican, discover this five-star, ground-breaking "triumph" (Telegraph) at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from 8 March 2025.
Winner of six Olivier Awards and five WhatsOnStage Awards, this 'utterly beguiling' (The Stage) and 'jaw-dropping' (Metro) staging of the celebrated 1988 animated feature film is brought to you by The Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi, in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer).
This enchanting coming-of-age story explores the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, as it follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei.
In order to be closer to their mother while she recovers from an illness in a rural convalescent hospital, their father moves the family to the countryside. As the girls explore their beautiful new surroundings, Mei encounters magical creatures and the ancient protector of the forest she calls Totoro.
Although Satsuki doesn't believe her little sister at first, they are soon both swept up in exciting adventures with their new neighbours–transported to a long-forgotten realm of spirits, sprites, and natural wonder.
Hailed as 'a tender and remarkably beautiful show' (Financial Times), MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO is an enchanting coming-of-age story exploring the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, as it follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei.
