Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki, has been re-imagined for the stage by Toho Theatrical Department and Olivier and Tony Award-winning director John Caird. Following a sell-out tour of Japan in 2022, the original Japanese cast including Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi, who play Chihiro, will perform this spectacular production for a strictly limited London season. The production will be presented in the original Japanese, with English captions. Miyazaki’s masterpiece is brought beautifully to life with a live orchestra playing the magnificent film score by Joe Hisaishi arranged by Brad Haak, dazzling set design by Jon Bausor, wildly imaginative puppets designed by Toby Olié, choreography by Shigehiro Ide, and lavish costumes by Sachiko Nakahara.

Director Hayao Miyazaki's timeless masterpiece Spirited Away became an explosive blockbuster after its 2001 release and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2003. A masterpiece of storytelling and stunning visuals, Spirited Away tells the enchanting tale of Chihiro who while traveling to a new home with her family, stumbles into a world of fantastic spirits ruled over by the sorceress Yubaba. When her parents are turned into pigs and she is put to work in a magical bathhouse, Chihiro must use her wits to survive in this strange new place, find a way to free her parents, and return to the normal world.

The producers of the stage production said: “We are so excited to be bringing this incredible production to London, and we are committed to ensuring that Spirited Away is as accessible as possible to audiences, with tickets available for every performance for under £30. We can’t wait to share this sensational show with you all.”
