You only have until 3 January 2027 to experience the 5-star ‘dazzling staging of the Studio Ghibli classic’ (Guardian), brought to life through large-scale puppetry and beloved songs from the film.
‘Wow is too small a word!’ (Broadway World) to describe the captivating story of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who discover a magical world of spirits, sprites and other mischievous creatures as they adjust to a new life in the Japanese countryside. Perhaps it’s all a dream… or perhaps they really are best friends with a giant, playful protector of the forest named… Totoro?
Featuring ‘blockbuster, awe-inspiring puppets’ (Time Out) by Basil Twist and Mervyn Millar, MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO is presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi – in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV – and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith with direction from Phelim McDermott.
MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO is a ‘huge, healing hug of a show’ (The Stage) about the life-changing power of imagination and the boundless wonders of nature. Hop aboard the Catbus for a delightful evening of unforgettable theatre before it leaves the UK for good!
