It's not Disney on Ice, but this multimedia concert featuring songs from Studio Ghibli animated classics – including the eponymous Laputa: Castle in the Sky, as well as Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (all created with the immense talents of composer Joe Hisaishi and director Hayao Miyazaki) – has a charm and appeal that fans of the Japanese animation studio won't want to miss.
