The vibrant posters, without a doubt, take our breath away.
Starring as Chihiro in altering performances, Kanna Hashimoto, well known for her role in “Gintama,” and Mone Kamishiraishi, who starred in “Your Name,” will beautifully bring the home-bound girl to life.
The award-winning fantasy anime will bring Ghibli magic to TOHO’s Imperial Theatre from February to March 2022.
Get familiar with Tony and Olivier Award-winning director John Caird, as he’s the man in the writer and director’s seat for this production.
If the posters are a testament to how ethereal the stage play is going to be, we’d suggest you get your hands on tickets as soon as they come out!
