My partner and I had an absolutely magical time at My Neighbour Totoro. It’s rare to find a production that keeps you completely mesmerised from start to finish, but this show managed it effortlessly—there wasn’t a single dull moment in sight. The absolute highlight, of course, was Totoro himself. The puppetry and performance were nothing short of incredible; he felt so vibrant and present that you genuinely forget you’re watching a stage creation. It felt like the characters were right there, alive and breathing in the room with us. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the film or totally new to the story, it’s a breathtaking experience that we couldn’t recommend enough for a perfect date night.

We absolutely loved this performance of My Neighbour Totoro! The stage decorations, the beautiful music, and the incredibly talented actors were all truly amazing. The production was so immersive and well-done that, for a second, I genuinely thought there was a real Totoro right there on the stage! Most importantly, my kids were so happy and completely captivated from start to finish. I highly recommend this magical and unforgettable experience to any family.

This show was so creative! How they brought the animated film to life on stage was brilliant!! We cried, we laughed, we had cuteness overload, and the emotions you were able to draw out of us as audience members from watching the impressive puppetry was incredible! I could watch this over and over again! Everyone was so good and this show was just really well directed from music, artistry, storyline, set, to puppetry! Highly recommend!!

The acting was suburp! The magic really came to life when tororo was introduced and mei sat on his belly. You are completely emerged into the scenes and feel like you a truly a part of the story and not just a viewer. There were no pictures aloud so unfortunately I have none to share, however thats what makes this show even more magical!

Truly one of my top theatre experiences of all time. Magical, whimsical- The things that make Ghibli so special. Don't come expecting Disney- you'll be disappointed . Just open yourself to an experience that is filled with wonder and ritual and unlike anything you've ever seen

I really liked the giant cat bus and the life sized Totoro, great use of moving stage!! The effects and music was also very nice, the live orchestra and singing popping up in places was really fun. Well done.
