One of the very finest shows on London stages is My Neighbour Totoro, an adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s much-loved animated film. In fact, such is its popularity that it broke the Barbican’s box office record for the most tickets sold in a single day in April 2022.
Now at the Gillian Lynne Theatre until March 2026, it continues to be the number one draw for families. But this has always been stirred up by a level of mystery around the show, with particular secrecy reserved for the incredible puppets designed by Basil Twist.
