About the phantom of the opera on broadway, video & photos.

The longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera debuted in 1988, winning seven Tony Awards® including Best Musical. Based on Gaston Leroux’s horror novel, it tells the enticing story of the Phantom, who haunts the stage of the Paris Opera and subsequently falls in love with a beautiful young soprano. Audiences are in for a thrilling night of spectacle and romance, accompanied by Broadway’s most unforgettable score.

Know Before You Go

Both romantic and scary, The Phantom of the Opera is a thrilling night of theater with grand emotions. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score, with its beloved signature song “Music of the Night,” sets the mood, but you may also find yourself humming the gorgeous period costumes and simple yet grand sets (even the famous chandelier, which probably falls slower than you’d expect, is a thrill).

"Phantom rules! It remains as fresh and spectacular as ever. Andrew Lloyd Webber's score has a visceral tug more than almost any score written in the past 20 years. Beautiful and romantic, I have to tip my hat: The Phantom of the Opera has aged divinely." NY1 Roma Torre

"Phantom still delivers the goods! Judging by sheer invention, emotional punch and onstage talent, the venerable blockbuster still beats out almost all of the shippersnappers currently on Broadway. Maria Bjornson's flamboyant gothic design and Harold Prince's fantastical staging still have the gleam of finely polished professionalism." The New York Times Jason Zinoman
"Phantom is still wonderful and isn't showing its age one bit! The chandelier still falls on cue and the show still rises to the top of all the musicals ever to appear on Broadway. I hope I listen to the music of the night forever!" WOR Radio David Richardson
"It may be possible to have a terrible time at The Phantom of the Opera, but you'll have to work at it. Only a terminal prig would let the avalanche of pre-opening publicity poison his enjoyment of this show, which usually wants nothing more than to shower the audience with fantasy and fun, and which often succeeds, at any price. The physical production, Andrew Bridge's velvety lighting included, is a tour de force throughout–as extravagant of imagination as of budget." The New York Times Frank Rich

Frequently Asked Questions

Grand opera and lush romance might not be their cup of tea. And the Phantom is a frightening guy. There are old-fashioned scare moments throughout—a dead corpse plunging from a noose, shrieking-for-their-lives ballerinas, that disfigured face... Such sights will either send your kid burying their face in your arm or thinking it’s the coolest show in town.

The Phantom of the Opera

Everything you need to know about 'The Phantom of the Opera' on Broadway

Here's your ultimate guide to The Phantom of the Opera , the longest-running show on Broadway.

Diep Tran

He's here, the phantom of the opera...and he's been haunting Broadway since 1988. The Phantom of the Opera , by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Charles Hart, and Richard Stilgoe, is the longest-running Broadway show of all time. This musical has appealed to theatregoers for over three decades, but after a record-breaking run that will go down in history, the music of the night will soon play for the last time when the show closes in February 2023.

The Phantom of the Opera is part romance, part Gothic melodrama, and part spectacle. It is about a composing genius, the Phantom, who hides from the world in an opera house. He is obsessed with an ingenue opera singer named Christine, who is both drawn to and frightened of him.

The plot seems simple, but where Phantom stands out is the music and the visuals. With songs such as the haunting and bombastic title song, "The Phantom of the Opera," as well as the ballads "Music of the Night," "Think of Me," and "All I Ask of You," Lloyd Webber's music is sweeping, big, and romantic — just like the show. 

And the special effects are awe-inspiring — from the now-iconic image of the Phantom and Christine on a boat in a sea of fog, to the one-ton chandelier that flies up and over the audience's heads, to stage fire — Phantom is not just an emotional journey; it's also a feast for the eyes.

Find out more about The Phantom of the Opera below, with characters, running time, songs, and behind-the-scenes history of how the show was made. Then, get tickets to see this living piece of Broadway history before the show becomes a phantom of Broadway's past.

What is The Phantom of the Opera about?

The Phantom of the Opera is based on the 1910 French novel by Gaston Leroux of the same name. It features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and a book by Stilgoe and Webber. It is about an ingenue opera singer named Christine, who works at the Paris Opera House. She is haunted by a figure that she calls the Angel of Music.

This angel is actually a real man, who wears a white mask and who calls himself the Phantom of the Opera. He is also a music genius, haunting the opera house and terrorizing the people who work there. The Phantom is also in love with Christine and her voice, and he is determined to make her a star so that the world can finally hear his music (of the night). 

When Christine's childhood sweetheart Raoul comes back into her life, the Phantom becomes jealous and more terrible things start happening in the opera house. And yet, Christine continues to be drawn to the Phantom. Who should Christine choose? Raoul or the Phantom? That's a question that has haunted Phantom fans (or rather, phans) for over 30 years. 

Part mystery, part romance, The Phantom of the Opera is considered the best of the '80s megamusicals, where the budget, the story, and the music were big and bombastic. Considering that The Phantom of the Opera includes a giant chandelier which flies over the audience's heads and crashes onto the stage, this Broadway titan more than fits the bill when it comes to "mega." 

Where is The Phantom of the Opera playing?

The Phantom of the Opera opened in 1988 at the Majestic Theatre and has been playing there ever since. The Majestic is located at 247 West 44th Street, between Seventh Avenue and Eighth Avenue. The Majestic opened in 1927. It was a favorite theatre of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, who premiered four of their musicals there, among them Carousel and South Pacific .

How long is The Phantom of the Opera ?

The Phantom of the Opera runs at 2 hours and 15 minutes, with one 15-minute intermission. This is a standard running time for a Broadway musical. It's recommended that you eat before the show. 

What days is The Phantom of the Opera playing?

The Phantom of the Opera plays seven performances a week at the Majestic Theatre. The show typically runs Monday to Sunday, with two performances on Thursdays and Saturdays. Phantom  does not perform on Tuesdays. For the complete weekly performance schedule and up-to-date show times, please visit the Phantom of the Opera page to learn more.

When did The Phantom of the Opera premiere?

The Phantom of the Opera was actually inspired by a 1910 same-named horror novel and a real-life romance between a genius composer and an ingenue: Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote the role of Christine for his wife at the time, Sarah Brightman, who was a rising star. Here's the history of the Phantom of the Opera musical.

  • 1984: Webber marries Brightman. He then contacts his producing partner at Really Useful Group, Cameron Mackintosh, who produced Webber's hit musical Cats , about a romantic musical based on French author Gaston Leroux's book, The Phantom of the Opera . Brightman would play Christine. Webber then asked Jim Steinman to write the lyrics to Phantom (Steinman had helped Meat Loaf write the songs for his Bat Out of Hell album). Steinman declined. Richard Stilgoe then agreed to write lyrics for the musical. Charles Hart was brought on in 1985 later to rewrite some of Stilgoe's lyrics. Webber also brought in Harold Prince to direct.
  • 1986: The Phantom of the Opera opens on the West End at Her Majesty's Theatre. The show was a hit. A cast album was soon released in 1987 and also topped the charts, going platinum four times in the U.S. Phantom is still running on the West End and is the third-longest-running show there.
  • 1988: Phantom opens on Broadway at the Majestic Theatre. Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, and Steve Barton reprised their roles as the Phantom, Christine, and Raoul from the West End. 
  • 1989: The first U.S. tour of Phantom begins. It would become the longest-running continuous tour in U.S. history, running until 2010. The first international production of Phantom also begins, in Canada at the Pantages Theatre in Toronto.
  • 1990: The first Australian production of Phantom begins at the Princess Theatre. Phantom would run in Australia until 1998.
  • 1993: The first U.K. tour of Phantom begins. It runs until 1996.
  • 2006: Phantom opens a sit-down production in Las Vegas, called Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular , at the Venetian. This production of the musical is shortened to 90 minutes. It runs until 2012.
  • 2012: A new production of Phantom , the first to not be a replica of the Harold Prince production, begins a UK and Ireland tour. This was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Phantom .
  • 2019: The Phantom of the Opera embarks on a world tour, beginning in Manila. 
  • 2021: Following the Covid-19 pandemic, Phantom reopens on the West End, but with some retooling to the show that is different from the original production that had played there since 1987. The number of musicians is decreased, some parts are restaged and choreographed, and parts of the set are redesigned.  Phantom  also reopens on Broadway.
  • Other productions: Phantom has played to over 140 million people in 35 countries. Phantom has been performed in 15 languages, showing that the music of the night is truly universal.

Who wrote The Phantom of the Opera ?

The Phantom of the Opera is based on the 1910 French novel by Gaston Leroux of the same name. It features music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe, and a book by Stilgoe and Webber. 

Webber, who has been knighted by the Queen of England as Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, is the winner of six Tony Awards and seven Olivier Awards. He is also one of 16 people who have won an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy, and a Tony. He runs the theatre company Really Useful Group, one of the biggest theatre producers in England. As a musical theatre composer, Webber has also written Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sunset Boulevard , and Evita .

Richard Stilgoe has collaborated with Webber on three musicals: Phantom, Cats , and Starlight Express . He founded the Alchemy Foundation, from his royalties from the American productions of Starlight Express and The Phantom of the Opera . The Alchemy Foundation donates money to charitable causes. Stilgoe has been knighted by the Queen for his charity work. 

Charles Hart was still a student when he met Webber, and he was soon brought on to help write lyrics for Phantom . Hart also collaborated with Webber on Aspects of Love . His other musicals include Bend It Like Beckham , based on the film, and The Dreaming , based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream .

  • Richard Firmin: One of the new owners of the Opera House. He is trying to keep things running smoothly, despite the Phantom.

What awards has The Phantom of the Opera won?

It's rare for a show to be both critically acclaimed and popular with the masses. But Phantom is both, if its longevity is any indication. And the musical received a diverse array of awards for acting, design, composition, and leadership alike. Here are the major awards Phantom has won.  

  • Olivier Awards: The West End production won four Olivier Awards of its five nominations: Best New Musical, Best Actor in a Musical (for Michael Crawford), Most Popular Show, and the Audience Award.
  • Tony Awards: The Broadway production of Phantom won seven Tony Awards out of 10 nominations: Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (for Crawford again), Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (for Judy Kaye as Carlotta Guidicelli), Best Direction of a Musical, Best Scenic Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Lighting Design.
  • Drama Desk Awards:  The Phantom of the Opera  on Broadway also won seven Drama Desk Awards in 1988: Outstanding Actor in a Musical (for Crawford), Outstanding Director of a Musical, Outstanding Music, Outstanding Orchestrations, Outstanding Set Design, Outstanding Costume Design, and Outstanding Lighting Design.

Major productions of The Phantom of the Opera

The major productions of Phantom have mostly been replicas of the original West End production directed by Harold Prince, aside from the 25th anniversary U.S. and U.K. tours. Below are the major productions of Phantom and behind-the-scenes facts about them.

  • 1987 West End production: For the original production, it took five people four weeks to build the chandelier, which is made of 6,000 beads and weighs one ton. It flies over the audience's heads and crashes on the stage at the end of Act One. Plus, a number of song lyrics in this production are different from the productions that came after it; those differences can be heard on the different cast albums.
  • 1988 Broadway production: The Broadway production of Phantom almost didn't happen. Prior to the show coming to Broadway, Actors' Equity Association, the union for stage actors in the U.S., told the Phantom team that they would have to recast Christine with an American actress (per union rules). Andrew Lloyd Webber threatened to pull the production if Sarah Brigthman could not be in the show. The union relented, and the show went on to make Broadway history. 
  • Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular : This version of Phantom was edited down to just 90 minutes. The biggest change was that "The Point of No Return" was shortened, and the chandelier crash was staged after "The Point of No Return" rather than "All I Ask Of You." 
  • The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall: To celebrate the musical's 25th anniversary, Phantom was staged at the Royal Albert Hall for a two-night performance in 2011. Laurence Connor directs, and original creative team member Gillian Lynne returns to choreograph and do the musical staging. The cast includes Ramin Karimloo as the Phantom and Sierra Boggess as Christine (the two would later star in the original production of the Phantom sequel,  Love Never Dies ). Original cast members Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman perform some songs post-show. The performance was released on DVD in 2012. Connor also stages the 2012 UK tour of Phantom , which is more pared down than the original Harold Prince production, though the costuming remains the same.

Onscreen adaptations of The Phantom of the Opera

Talks about adapting Phantom for the screen had swirled since 1989 after Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the show. Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman were in talks to reprise their roles. But production stalled on the film because of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Brightman's divorce. The film languished in development for over a decade, until 2002, when Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group had purchased the film rights from Warner Bros. Here are some more facts about the Phantom of the Opera  film adaptation, which ultimately came out in 2004.

  • The Phantom film starred Gerald Butler as the Phantom, Emmy Rossum as Christine, Patrick Wilson as Raoul, and Minnie Driver as Carlotta. 
  • Unlike the stage adaptation, the Phantom film had mostly negative reviews. Nonetheless, The Phantom of the Opera was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Song.
  • Butler was the only main cast member who did not have music experience. He had to take singing lessons!
  • Webber wrote some new music for the film, including the song "Learn to Be Lonely," which was written with Charles Hart and sung by Driver. The song was nominated for an Oscar. Some of the new music that Webber wrote for the film was later reused in Love Never Dies , his stage musical sequel to Phantom.

Fun facts about  The Phantom of the Opera

From sequels to how the Broadway production almost didn't happen, there are enough facts and trivia about Phantom that would surprise even a longtime opera ghost. Here are some phun phacts about The  Phantom of the Opera . 

  • The original Broadway production of The Phantom of the Opera cost a record-at-the-time $8 million to produce, which would be $20 million today.
  • There are 19 cast albums of The Phantom of the Opera available, including cast albums in non-English languages.
  • The full white mask that has graced Phantom posters since 1987 isn't actually the mask that's worn in the show. The Phantom's mask in the show only covers one side of this face, from his right eye to his right cheek. But the mask that covers the entirety of the Phantom's face was actually tried out in a workshop production. That mask proved too difficult for the actor playing the Phantom, then Colm Wilkinson, to perform in, and he couldn't see well in it. So set and costume designer Maria Björnson designed the now-iconic half mask.
  • Phantom fans (or "phans") have long debated whether Christine should choose the Phantom or Raoul. In 2010, Webber gave his opinion on the matter with his musical sequel to Phantom , Love Never Dies , which takes place 10 years after the ending of Phantom and reunites Christine with her angel of music in Coney Island. The musical was thoroughly panned on the West End, and despite getting a U.S. tour and productions worldwide, Love Never Dies has never been to Broadway. But Phantom phans can watch a filmed version of the Australian production, which was released on DVD in 2021.
  • Princess Diana was such a fan of Phantom that for the seventh anniversary of her marriage to Prince Charles, she filmed a music video of herself on the Phantom set at Her Majesty's Theatre, singing "All I Ask Of You" dressed as Christine. The musical's choreographer, Gillian Lynne, even directed Diana in the video. Webber was there to oversee. 
  • Michael Jackson saw Phantom in 1988 and loved it so much, he told Webber backstage after a show that he wanted to play the Phantom in a film version. Webber declined since Michael Crawford was also on board to play the Phantom in the film version. But the thought of the King of Pop playing the Angel of Music — talk about a thriller night!

  • The Phantom of the Opera is 2 hours and 30 minutes long, including an intermission of 15 minutes
  • 8 Shows per week
  • Previews Began: January 9, 1988

  • Show Closed: April 16, 2023

The classic Broadway show set in Paris in the late 1700's is a beloved musical that follows the life of a disfigured man who takes residence underground in an opera house and falls in love with a singer.

The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway Background

Playing at the Majestic Theatre since January 9, 1988, The Phantom of the Opera is the longest running Broadway show in history.

Phantom Announces Show Closing Will Be In 2023 - After 35 Years on Broadway

In Fall 2022, it was announced that the Broadway production of “The Phantom of the Opera” will close after 35 years on Broadway. The new London West End production of the show re-opened at Her Majesty's Theatre, where the musical had originally first premiered in 1986. This production may also close in 2023.

New 2023 Date For Show Closing

It was initially announced that Phantom on Broadway would officially play its last performance on Feb. 18, 2023. On November 29, 2022, the show announced that it would delay its closing to April 16, 2023. This is reportedly the only extension that will occur, following which the Landlord, the Shubert Organization, claims they will begin major renovations at the theatre.

Show Closing Date Moved Due to High Ticket Sales

Ticket sales spiked following the initial closing announcement, which came on Sept. 16, 2022. The show was normally selling $800,000 of tickets every week, which is also the very same cost to run the show. After the announcement, the show began selling upwards of $2 Million per week and in late November 2022 the show jumped to $2.2 Million per week, which allowed the show producers a little more breathing room and the ability to extend the show for a few months.

If Phantom continues on this ticket selling spree, the producers may be forced to extend the show again.

Phantom is a Theatrical Design Masterpiece

This Broadway musical is a design masterpiece, and won many of the 1988 Tony Awards including Best Scenic Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Lighting Design. Other Tony Awards were Best Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor, Best Performance by a Featured Actress and Best Direction.

The set includes a sweeping staircase, an ominously swinging chandelier, and a subterranean gondola that appears as if it is floating on water. The choreography is masterful, and the score is timeless with such gorgeous songs as “Think of Me,” “Angel of Music,” “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Music of the Night.”

Phantom "Phans" See The Show More Than Once

The stage production, acting and musical score in this show are spectacular. Phantom continued to improve with age and focused on bringing in talented leads opposed to celebrities. Many Broadway fans continued to see this Broadway show more than once. Some "phans" had seen the show over 25 times.

The timeless story of The Phantom of the Opera resonates for audiences of all ages and all generations, as evident by its seemingly perpetual success.

West End Production

The original show on London's West End, featured Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman in the lead roles, but the Broadway production has transcended big celebrity name in favor of an ensemble cast that lifts the production to incredible heights and Broadway longevity.

Post Pandemic Reopening Date:

After the shutdown, the post pandemic rehearsal show date was : September 27, 2021 and the reopen was October 22, 2021

What's The Phantom of the Opera Like?

With music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart, and the book by Lloyd Webber and Richard Stilgoe, The Phantom of the Opera is based off a French novel called Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (Gaston Leroux).

It is the story of a disfigured musical genius who haunts a French opera house, until he becomes infatuated by a young soprano named Christine Daaé and then makes plans to steal her away.

Is The Phantom of the Opera Good for Kids?

The show is a wonderful evening for the entire family. It may be inappropriate for children under the age of 8, and likewise, as customary, children under the age of 4 are not permitted inside the theatre.

My Neighbour Totoro stage play

Following two sold-out limited seasons at London’s Barbican, the Royal Shakespeare Company ’s acclaimed stage version of Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli classic   My Neighbour Totoro  will transfer to the West End early in 2025.

The show broke box office records during both its inaugural 15-week term in 2022 and repeated that success on its second iteration, which played for 17 weeks from last November until last month.

Yorke and her RSC colleagues have secured the Gillian Lynne Theatre beginning March 8, 2025 for an initial 34-week period through November 2, 2025.

In a sense, the move to the Gilly Lynne — how some affectionately refer to the theatre named for legendary  Cats  and  Phantom of the Opera  choreographer, the late Dame Gillian Lynne — moves  My Neighbour Totoro , adapted by Tom Morton-Smith, all the more closer to Broadway .

While confidently predicting that  My Neighbour Totoro  “will definitely have a life beyond the West End,” Yorke swatted away further questions. “With our Japanese partners we want to focus on nailing that West End transfer before we cast our eye further afield,” she reasoned.

However, with a twinkle in her eye, Yorke acknowledged that “there’s a lot of interest.”

broadway phantom of the opera tour

Her observations were echoed by two of the show’s creative collaborators, its director Phelim McDermott, co-founder and co-artistic director of the pioneering Improbable improvisational theatre company, and puppeteer extraordinaire Basil Twist, who created the life-size puppet of fluffy Totoro.

McDermott cautioned that his journey around shows has proved that “sometimes a show that works really well and you go to the next stage … you’ve got to keep the pot that is happening in just the right size for the process to keep the soup good.”

He added that if “you start thinking ‘we’ve got to do this, we’ve got to do that,’ too soon, then you take your eye off keeping the soup good.”

broadway phantom of the opera tour

Yorke leaves the RSC in late June to take up the post of Producer at the Old Vic. However, she’s being allowed to continue her executive producing duties overseeing My Neighbour Totoro  for the RSC.

The Gillian Lynne’s in the same Covent Garden neighbourhood as the  Matilda  musical at the Cambridge Theatre, another RSC production and still running after premiering at the RSC’s Stratford-upon-Avon base in 2010.

Both houses, by the way, are controlled by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s LW Theatres company.

Of course, no one knows if My Neighbour Totoro will enjoy that kind of run!

Data collated by the RSC shows that the show has attracted huge family audiences, many visiting from Japan; film fans; and in what has cheered the RSC no end the enormous interest from anime and games geeks. And some folk are seeing it more than once.

Twist talked of watching audiences. He can always tell if they’re fans of the movie because they sit up straight and lean forward during moments in the story when they anticipate Totoro making an appearance. “They know something’s going to happen,” Twist said.

broadway phantom of the opera tour

I know this to be true. I’m a supposedly grown-up man but I became ridiculously excited when I knew that Totoro would be making his entrance.

The RSC has ensured that, thus far, no one has put out a photo of Totoro on social media, and the RSC is not releasing any because they don’t want to spoil the surprise for new audiences.  

The 1988 film gained in popularity during the pandemic when Netflix, rather astutely, acquired streaming rights to Studio Ghibli’s catalog. Untold millions watched the movies — including  My Neighbour Totoro .

The movie, set in the 1950s, follows the story of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who move with their father from postwar Tokyo to their new home, near a forest. There they discover spirits and magical creatures, the giant fluffy Totoro, and a mammoth cat bus that takes on passengers then takes off into the sky.

At the heart of Dermott’s production, though it achieves amazing technical feats, is the company and how it pulled off what McDermott called “a kind of naive storytelling quality.”

The big challenge about  My Neighbour Totoro’s  continued success, the director noted, is not “to get too overconfident because the piece itself is about childlike vulnerability.”

McDermott spoke from New York, where he’s directing The Hours  at The Met.

He and his colleagues at Improbable have embarked on a capital project to develop creative open spaces on a site owned by the Commonwork Trust in Penshurst, Kent. First task will be to renovate an old house to be known as The Host House, which will feature a communal table for shared experiences downstairs and creative spaces upstairs. ”That’s our next big Improbable project,” McDermott said, chuckling. “We want to make work there, and teach to pass the way of working on,” he explained.

“We just have to raise a few million quid for a space that’s unpressured,” he added.

broadway phantom of the opera tour

In the fall of 2025 he’s doing a second opera with Huang, along with librettist David Henry Hwang and director Diane Paulus, at the San Francisco Opera House. It’s  The Monkey King , drawn from an episode in  Journey to the Wes t and the Ming dynasty.

San Francisco is where the Twist family home’s located. It’s where, during the pandemic, he created the prototype puppet for the stage Totoro in his parents’ backyard, and because he wasn’t able to bring in outsiders into the family pod due to the pandemic, his parents, siblings and his brother’s kids helped to photograph and film the result for the show’s Japanese partners at Studio Ghibli and Nippon TV.

“It was one of the many beautiful things about this project,” Twist said, “and even the challenge of doing it during the pandemic, was that I did that with my family, in the family home in the backyard.” 

My Neighbour Totoro  features music by Joe Hisaishi. The show’s presented by Hisaishi and the RSC in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV.

broadway phantom of the opera tour

My Neighbour Totoro’s  production design is by Tom Pye, costume design by Kimie Nakano, lighting design by Jessica Hung Han Yun and movement by You-Ri Yamanaka. Puppetry design and direction is by Basil Twist. The production features music from Hisaishi’s iconic score in a new orchestration by Will Stuart, performed live with sound design by Tony Gayle. Video design is by Finn Ross and Andrea Scott.

Casting is yet to be announced.

Artwork for the stage adaptation of  My Neighbour Totoro  includes a hand drawn title by Toshio Suzuki, producer for Studio Ghibli, who was involved in the planning and production of the original movie.

Studio Ghibli will be feted with the Honorary Palme d’Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May.
