Spirited Away

Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning SPIRITED AWAY, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki, is re-imagined for the stage by Olivier and Tony award-winning director of Les Misérables, John Caird.

Featuring wildly imaginative puppets, dazzling set and costume designs and a live orchestra playing the magnificent original film score by Joe Hisaishi, this critically acclaimed production is now embarking on a major WORLD TOUR.

SPIRITED AWAY originally premiered in Tokyo in 2022 and went on to enjoy a record-breaking season at the London Coliseum in 2024 where the production won BEST NEW PLAY at the 2025 Whatonstage Awards and was nominated for four Olivier Awards.

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.
