The stage adaptation of the Japanese Oscar-wInning animation Spirited Away has its European premiere at the London Coliseum
Studio Ghibli’s Oscar-winning film Spirited Away, created by legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki has been re-imagined for the stage by Olivier and Tony award-winning director of Les Misérables, John Caird, and is coming to the Coliseum for an extended run this spring and summer.
The film was released in 2001 and became an instant hit, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film in 2003. The stage version of Spirited Away started life in 2022 in Japan, and this Coliseum runs marks its European premiere. It's performed in the original Japanese language with English surtitles.
It's a sumptuous production featuring a large cast, puppets by Toby Olié (Pinocchio: National Theatre), rich sets by Jon Bausor (Bat Out of Hell), choreography by Shigehiro Ide, and lavish costumes by Sachiko Nakahara, with a live orchestra playing the original film score by Joe Hisaish.
It tells the story of the young 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 rely on her wits to survive, find a way to free her parents, and return to the normal world.
It sounds like an ideal show for the whole family, though with a running time of three hours it may not suit very small children.
