My Neighbour Totoro

About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre is the record-breaking, award-winning stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film. Created in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, and produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with executive producer Joe Hisaishi, it is adapted for the stage by Tom Morton-Smith.

Winner of six Olivier Awards, the production follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, as their world is shaped by childhood imagination and a magical fantasy setting.

Set in London’s West End, the show brings the celebrated film to the stage in a large-scale production with puppets, including some that interact in audience space.

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