Stage production of “Spirited Away” lands in London’s West End!

Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning movie, SPIRITED AWAY, is being adapted for the stage by Olivier and Tony award-winning director of Les Misérables, John Caird.

The original Japanese cast will perform this extraordinary production, which will feature wildly imaginative puppets, dazzling set and costume designs, and a live orchestra playing the magnificent original film score by Joe Hisaishi.

SPIRITED AWAY is a masterpiece of storytelling and stunning visuals. It 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.

Audiences in the UK will have the chance to be spirited away and delight in the mystery of this genre-defining anime classic at the West End’s iconic LONDON COLISEUM, from April 2024 for a strictly limited season. This production will be presented in Japanese, with English surtitles.
