It’s been confirmed that My Neighbour Totoro will return to the theatre from 21 November, 2023 until 23 March, 2024.
It premiered in October 2022 to critical acclaim and has been nominated for nine Olivier Awards.
The show received the most nominations at the 2023 edition of the awards, including Best Actress for Mei Mac and Best entertainment or comedy play.
It’s, of course an adaption of the 1988 film of the same name that was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
The production explores the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, following one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei.
It features music from Joe Hisaishi’s iconic score, performed live with sound design by Tony Gayle.
While the puppetry design and direction is by Basil Twist, created with puppetry associate Mervyn Millar’s Significant Object and the Jim Henson Creature Shop.
The production has also confirmed that casting for the 2023/24 run of My Neighbour Totoro “will be announced soon”.
