My Neighbour Totoro tells the heartwarming story of sisters Satsuki and Mei as they move to the countryside with their father to be closer to their ailing mother. As they explore their enchanting new surroundings, they encounter wondrous forest spirits and the gentle, mysterious Totoro—guardian of the forest. With breathtaking puppetry, a moving original score, and magical stagecraft, this visually spellbinding production brings Studio Ghibli’s world to life in a way that’s “astonishing, magical, and deeply emotional” (The Guardian). Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering Totoro for the first time, this is a show for all ages.
