Spirited Away

Spirited Away description

The stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli's Oscar-winning Spirited Away comes back to the London Coliseum, the largest theatre in the West End, for a season opening in March 2028. Directed by John Caird (Les Misérables) with puppetry, sets and a live orchestra performing Joe Hisaishi's original film score, the production previously played a record-breaking run at the Coliseum in 2024, drawing over 300,000 spectators and winning Best New Play at the 2025 WhatsOnStage Awards.

Given the show's scale — full orchestra, elaborate puppet work, and English surtitles displayed on screens for the original Japanese dialogue — where you sit matters. With the auditorium's wide stalls and steep upper tiers, seat choice can make a real difference to sightlines on both the surtitle screens and the stage action.
