My Neighbour Totoro

About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro is playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End. This stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, as childhood imagination opens up a magical fantasy world around them.

The production is created in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, and is brought to the stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company with Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi. It has won six Olivier Awards and has been described by critics as a record-breaking and award-winning production.

The show is adapted by Tom Morton-Smith, and combines live music, puppetry and theatrical staging to tell a story centred on family, imagination and change.

Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
