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, with a story centred on childhood, imagination and a magical fantasy world.

The show is based on the celebrated 1988 animated feature film and is now back in London.
