My Neighbour Totoro Tickets

The Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s beloved film returns to London for a limited season. Best for age 6+.

Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece transformed onstage

Immerse yourself in the dazzling world of Studio Ghibli as My Neighbour Totoro at the Barbican Theatre returns for a second, strictly limited season. This enchanting tribute to the imagination of childhood will delight all generations.

My Neighbour Totoro is the story of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who move to be closer to their sick mother while she receives treatment. As summer stretches before them, they venture into the woods and befriend a medley of flighty spirits, including the larger-than-life forest protector, Totoro.

Hayao Miyazaki’s beloved 1988 film is transformed onstage to inspiring and jaw-dropping effect by the Royal Shakespeare Company (Matilda the Musical) and composer Joe Hisaishi. The film’s score is performed live alongside new orchestrations by Will Stuart.

The My Neighbour Totoro play captivated audiences during a sold-out world premiere in 2022, and won 6 Olivier Awards thanks to stunning storytelling that combines music, beautiful set design and remarkable puppets built by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop - transporting you straight into the whimsical world of the film.

This “healing hug of a show” (The Stage) is unlike anything else in London and a true feast for the heart and mind. Find your spirit with My Neighbour Totoro tickets this Autumn.
