Do you know Daddy Long Legs (2009) ?
Yes, I’ve been in it
Yes, I’ve seen it
Yes, I’ve listened to it
No, but I’ve heard of it
No, never heard of it
The Japanese-language production of Studio Ghibli's Oscar-winning film *Spirited Away* will make its European premiere at the West End's lar
Spirited Away is coming to London’s West End for a strictly limited season. Following a sell-out tour of Japan in 2022, the original Japanese production will begin performances in April 2024, with exact dates to be announced. Created by the renowned animator and director Hayao Miyazaki, the story has been re-imagined for the stage by Olivier and Tony Award-winning director John Caird (Les Misérables). The original cast, including Kanna Hashimoto and Mone Kamishiraishi, will perform in this production. “I am proud and delighted to present the original Japanese stage production of Spirited Away at the Coliseum Theatre next year." Caird said in a statement, "We had a wonderful time creating the show in 2022 and I’m so happy now to be spiriting away a British audience into Hayao Miyazaki’s magical world."
No but to be honest, one thing that I'm very happy the daddy long legs musical had the courage to do is just owning how petty Jervis is.
You just see these kind of things all over the script of the musical. Magnificent, delightful characterization.

Trevor Nunn and John Caird legitimately made this show what it is. They're so much more than just the "original directors,"—we actively would not have Les Mis in the state it is without them, and it is beyond awful that they can't have anything to do with the show now.
