The play will conclude its run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre early next year.
It has been announced that My Neighbour Totoro will conclude its West End run on the 3rd January 2027, a week earlier than had been previously announced.
Adapted from Hayao Miyazaki’s 1988 animated feature film by Tom Morton-Smith, the show originally opened at the Barbican in 2022, before returning there in 2023. The show then transferred to the West End in 2024.
The production is directed by Phelim McDermott and presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company in collaboration with Nippon TV and Improbable.
My Neighbour Totoro’s current West End cast includes: Victoria Chen as Mei, Helen Chong as Satsuki, Dai Tabuchi as Tatsuo, Jacqueline Tate as Granny and Ai Ninomiya as Kaze No Koe/Singer. They are joined by Kazego Puppetry Ensemble, who bring a variety of creatures to life via Basil Twist’s puppetry design.
Meanwhile, the creative team also includes: production design by Tom Pye, costume design by Kimie Nakano, lighting design by Jessica Hung Han Yun, movement direction by You-Ri Yamanaka and sound design by Tony Gayle, with orchestrations by Will Stuart.
