Spirited Away on stage | West End opening night at London Coliseum

WhatsOnStage was on hand at the opening night of Spirited Away at the London Coliseum, where a multitude of VIPs walked the blue carpet before the show.
Ahead of the performance, we chatted to anime aficionados and novices alike to get their thoughts on the beloved Studio Ghibli classic, now being staged in Japanese (with English surtitles) in the heart of the West End.
Watch our video for a taste of what went down at the big night!
Spirited Away is running until 24 August 2024 at the London Coliseum.

What next the 30 foot bride of candy rock into stage show?

Looks like they tried too hard to literalize the movie.
