Our critically-acclaimed, multi-award-winning show will play at the Gillian Lynne Theatre until 10 January 2027.

My Neighbour Totoro will extend its run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, London, before closing on 10 January 2027.

The multi-award-winning stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro will extend in the West End for the final time, with the production now ending on 10 January 2027.

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

“From its beginnings at the Barbican, My Neighbour Totoro has held a special place for us, and it is a privilege to have seen this production grow and flourish in the West End.

"A true celebration of theatrical craft, the show brings together extraordinary talent across disciplines, with its many awards reflecting the artistry, imagination and dedication of all involved. The production also represents a remarkable international collaboration, uniting artists and partners to tell a story of wonder, family and the natural world that resonates so deeply with audiences.

"We are immensely grateful to our creative team, cast, crew and partners, and to the many audiences who continue to join us on this journey.”

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. The production closed at the Barbican Centre in March 2024, before opening at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in 2025.

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. The show is presented by Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi and the Royal Shakespeare Company, in collaboration with Nippon TV and Improbable.

The production’s Producer, Kenichi Yoda, and Executive Producer Griselda Yorke say:

“It has been an honour to realise Joe Hisaishi’s vision of a staged production of Studio Ghibli’s iconic film with this extraordinary team of artists led by Phelim McDermott.

"We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share this exquisite show in the beautiful Gillian Lynne Theatre with more audiences.”

Tickets are available from the Gillian Lynne Theatre Box Office now.
