Studio Ghibli fans are set for a fantastic 2024 with not only the My Neighbour Totoro stage adaptation, but a Spirited Away one, too. Here\u2019s how to secure tickets today. <\/p>
Last year, an adaptation of Studio Ghibli\u2019s My Neighbour Totoro landed on London\u2019s Barbican stage; when tickets for My Neighbour Totoro went on sale, demand was so huge that it broke the Barbican\u2019s record for sales in a single day, and the original run was so popular that it\u2019s returning for a second run in November, with one of our RadioTimes.com<\/a> writers already a proud ticket holder for a February show. Now, another Studio Ghibli adaptation is hitting the West End: Spirited Away.<\/p>\n That same RadioTimes.com<\/strong> writer remembers her friend lending her the Spirited Away video, and she watched it so much that her mum would often say \u2018Is this that film again where the parents turn into pigs?\u2019 It was. The Japanese fantasy movie is rich with spirits and sorceresses, and if it\u2019s anything like My Neighbour Totoro\u2019s imaginative puppets, beautiful set design, and dazzling costumes, Spirited Away on stage is set to be an incredible experience.<\/p>\n The Hayao Miyazaki-created movie was reimagined for the stage in Japan in 2022, and it enjoyed a sell-out tour. Now, Les Mis\u00e9rables director John Caird will help debut the play in London with the original Japanese cast using English captions, and it will be accompanied by a gorgeous live orchestra playing Joe Hisaishi\u2019s original film score.<\/p>\n Speaking about Spirited Away\u2019s London debut, Caird said: \u201cI am proud and delighted to present the original Japanese stage production of Spirited Away at the Coliseum Theatre next year. We had a wonderful time creating the show in 2022 and I\u2019m so happy now to be spiriting away a British audience into Hayao Miyazaki\u2019s magical world\u201d.<\/p>\n This could be Spirited Away\u2019s only UK tour, so don\u2019t miss out on bagging tickets to see the play.<\/p>\n Haven\u2019t yet bought My Neighbour Totoro tickets<\/a>?
