The stage adaptation of Spirited Away made its debut in 2022 to rave reviews, as fans flocked to Tokyo’s Imperial Theatre to see the beloved Hayao Miyazaki masterpiece come to life. Following a Japanese tour and a stint in London, the show has unveiled a world tour, which includes its long anticipated North American debut.
The tour will begin with a two-month run at the National Theater in Taipei from December 2026 to January 2027. After a three-month stint at Tokyo’s Meijiza Theater, it will then travel to the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto from May to August. After that, the tour will go down south for the U.S. premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, running from September to October. Finally, the show will make its return to the Coliseum in London’s West End from March to July 2028.
Spirited Away has been adapted to the stage and is directed by John Caird, best known for his work on the musical Les Misérables . The stage play, produced by Japanese entertainment company Toho, also features Joe Hisaishi’s iconic film score performed live by a full orchestra. Just like the 2024 London run, which saw the show sell out its 135 performances, Spirited Away will be performed in its original Japanese language with English captions.
“We are honored to bring the wonder of Spirited Away to the Ahmanson Theatre for an exclusive U.S. engagement, offering our community the gift of experiencing one of the most cherished stories of our time, reimagined for the stage in a once-in-a-generation theatrical experience. We cannot wait to share Spirited Away with Los Angeles,” says Douglas C. Baker, Center Theatre Group producing director.
