About My Neighbour Totoro

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

The story follows sisters Satsuki and Mei during one extraordinary summer, as childhood imagination opens into a magical fantasy world. The production has won six Olivier Awards and returned to London as a record-breaking West End hit.

This performance runs for 2 hours 40 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
