My Neighbour Totoro

About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro is now playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London. This West End production brings Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film to the stage in a collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, adapted by Tom Morton-Smith and produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with executive producer Joe Hisaishi.

The show is a record-breaking, award-winning staging that has won six Olivier Awards. It follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, with the story exploring childhood imagination and a magical fantasy world.

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