Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, RSC Co-Artistic Directors say:

“My Neighbour Totoro is a story of kindness, courage and the power of the imagination. Our audiences get to meet the magical creatures of the forest through extraordinary storytelling, dazzling puppetry and beautiful songs.

"Watching the joy on people’s faces when they meet Catbus, Chu, Sho and of course Totoro, is a delight to behold, and we can’t wait to welcome more people to the show at the Gillian Lynne Theatre."

Kenichi Yoda, Nippon TV and Studio Ghibli, says:

“We are truly thrilled that My Neighbour Totoro’s journey in London is set to enter its third year. It is our heartfelt wish that you will share this story with your loved ones — your family, friends, or partner. It’s a show that reminds you to cherish the people you love even more on your way home.”

My Neighbour Totoro was adapted by Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer) from Hayao Miyazaki’s celebrated 1988 animated feature film. The production is directed by Improbable Co-Founder, Phelim McDermott.

Winner of six Olivier Awards and five WhatsOnStage Awards, My Neighbour Totoro broke the Barbican’s Box Office record for most tickets sold in a single day in April 2022, ahead of its global premiere in October 2022.

Following both critical and audience acclaim, the production returned to the Barbican Centre for a strictly limited run in autumn 2023 until March 2024. It opened again at the Gillian Lynne Theatre on London's West End in March 2025.
