Spirited Away

Director of Les Misérables John Caird and the Toho Theatrical Department have reimagined the outstanding fantasy/adventure animation from Studio Ghibli for the stage. Spirited Away, which was directed and animated by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, is frequently regarded as one of the best movies of the twenty-first century as well as one of the greatest animated movies of all time. Spirited Away has been compared to Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland, and now you get the chance to witness the story on stage.

Through an array of wondrous visuals and masterful storytelling, Spirited Away tells the spellbinding story of 10-year-old Chihiro. After moving to the suburbs with her family, Chihiro discovers a fantastical spirit realm ruled by gods, witches and spirits, and the sorceress Yubaba. It is a place where humans can be changed into beasts, even giant pigs…

When her parents experience a bizarre transformation, Chihiro must fight to survive this strange and unfamiliar environment with nothing but her cunning wit. Along the way, she meets eccentric spirits, various creatures and a gloomy sorceress who strives to stop her and her parents from returning to the human world.
