About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro is now playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End. This stage production of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film 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 is adapted by Tom Morton-Smith.

The show follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, as they discover a magical fantasy world shaped by childhood imagination. It has won six Olivier Awards and has been described as a record-breaking return to the West End.

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