Don’t miss the theatrical event of 2025 as the record-breaking, award-winning My Neighbour Totoro transfers to London’s West End.

Find your spirit with the return of this production of Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro, in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV. Following two rapturously received, sell-out runs at the Barbican, discover this ground-breaking production at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from 8 March 2025.

Winner of six Olivier Awards, this staging of the celebrated 1988 animated feature film is brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi, and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer).

My Neighbour Totoro is an enchanting coming-of-age story exploring the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, as it follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei.
