ジリアン・リン劇場は、ロンドンの劇場会場で、British Theatreでもご紹介しています。ご来場前に、上演予定の公演情報、会場へのアクセスなど実用的なガイド、チケット予約のポイントをぜひチェックしてみてください。 現在のニュー・ロンドン・シアター(現ジリアン・リン・シアター)の敷地は、エリザベス朝時代から酒場やミュージックホール劇場が建ってきた場所として知られています。当時は「The Great Mogul」という酒場があり、ネル・グウィンともゆかりがありました。19世紀には、1847年に建てられた「The Mogul Saloon」がこの地に置かれ、1851年に「Middlesex Music Hall」へと改称。さらに1911年には「New Middlesex Theatre of Varieties」として建て替えられました。 1919年、この劇場は売却後に改装され、「ウィンター・ガーデン・シアター」として再オープン。『Kissing Time』、『A Night Out』、『Sally』、『Primrose』、フレッド・アステア主演の『Funny Face』、『On The Rocks』、『Hotel Paradiso』、『The Iceman Cometh』などを上演しましたが、1959年に恒久的に閉館しています。 ニュー・ロンドン・シアターは1973年1月2日、『Unknown Soldier and His Wife』で開幕し、その後『Grease』(ダニー役をリチャード・ギアが演じたことで話題に)を上演しました。1997年から数年間はテレビスタジオとして使用されたのち、再び舞台公演の場へと戻ります。最大のヒットはミュージカル『キャッツ』で、1981年から2002年まで全8,949回上演。2006年に『レ・ミゼラブル』が更新するまで、ウエストエンド最長ロングラン・ミュージカルの記録を保持していました。 2018年、1991年から建物を所有しているアンドリュー・ロイド=ウェバー(Really Useful Group)によって、劇場名を「ジリアン・リン・シアター」に改名すると発表されました。これはロンドンで初めて、女性の名を冠した劇場となります。 デイム・ジリアン・リンはバレリーナとしてキャリアをスタートし、第二次世界大戦中にサドラーズ・ウェルズ・バレエへ加入。20歳の誕生日に、ロンドンのロイヤル・オペラ・ハウス再開(オープニング)公演で初の大きなソロを務めました。その後ロイヤル・バレエに参加し、さらにウエストエンドのダンサーとして、ロンドン・パラディアムでのスターダンサー出演や、ロンドン・コロシアムでの『Can Can』など大作にも登場しています。 リンは振付家・演出家としても早くから高い評価を得て、イングリッシュ・ナショナル・オペラ、ロイヤル・シェイクスピア・カンパニー、そしてウエストエンドやブロードウェイの数多くの作品を手がけました。なかでもアンドリュー・ロイド=ウェバーとのコラボレーションでよく知られ、ミュージカル『キャッツ』(1981年にニュー・ロンドン・シアターで開幕)、『オペラ座の怪人』(ウエストエンドで2番目のロングラン・ミュージカル)、そしてウエストエンドとブロードウェイで上演された『Aspects of Love』の振付を担当しました。 リンは劇場界への長年の貢献をたたえられ、2013年のオリヴィエ賞で特別賞を受賞。さらに2014年には、女王の新年叙勲によりデイムの称号を授与されました。 この劇場では現在、批評家から高い評価を受けるアンドリュー・ロイド=ウェバー作品の<a href="https://www.britishtheatre.com/shows/school-of-rock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">『スクール・オブ・ロック』</a>を上演中です。 Show Boat (2016年4月〜War Horse(2009年3月28日〜2016年3月)Imagine This – 新作ミュージカル(2008年11月19日〜2008年6月14日)Gone With The Wind – 新作ミュージカル(2008年4月22日〜2008年6月14日)かもめ(2007年11月21日〜2008年1月12日)リア王(2007年11月14日〜2008年1月12日)ブルーマングループ(2005年11月10日〜2007年6月24日)ジョセフ・アンド・アメージング・テクニカラー・ドリームコート(2003年3月2日〜2005年9月3日)ウモジャ(2002年9月6日〜2003年2月8日)CATS (1981年3月11日マチネ〜2002年5月11日) 1, 8, 19, 25, 38, 55, 59, 68, 91, 98, 168, 171, 188, 242, 243, 521 ロイヤル・シェイクスピア・カンパニーによるスタジオジブリの愛されるアニメ映画の息をのむような舞台化が、現在ギリアン・リン・シアターで上演されています。オリヴィエ賞を6つ受賞したこの『深く魔法的な体験』(エル)は、宮崎駿の魅力的な物語を、忘れられないトトロや伝説のネコバスを含む壮大なパペットを通じて現実にします。子供の想像力を祝う成長物語です。 英国の劇場ニュースサイトで、最新のウェストエンド情報、独占オファー、そして最高のチケットを手に入れるには真っ先にチェックしてください。

For the best all-round view at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, aim for the central Stalls, a few rows back from the front where you sit roughly level with the thrust stage. If you want to be closer, the front and centre of the Stalls puts you right at the action, though the stage height can crop the lowest sightlines. The auditorium holds around 1,295 across two levels, the Stalls and the Circle (sometimes called the Dress Circle).
| Level | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Stalls | The best overall views, close to a wraparound thrust stage | Steeply raked with no pillars, so sightlines hold up well to the rear. The side blocks face the stage at an angle, and safety rails sit around the mid-Stalls aisles. |
| Circle | A raised, elevated overview and strong value in the central rows | Narrow and curved, so the far sides look at the stage side on. A safety rail runs along the front row and handrails border the side sections. |
The finest seats for My Neighbour Totoro are in the central Stalls, roughly the middle rows of the central block, where you are square to the thrust stage and close enough to catch the puppetry and detail without craning. Because the Stalls are well raked and free of pillars, even seats further back keep a clean, central view. The central rows of the Circle also give a lovely elevated take on the staging.
This is a thrust stage venue, so the auditorium wraps the stage in a horseshoe and the seats down the far sides of both levels face the action side on, seeing less of the full picture. In the Stalls, safety rails cross the aisles around the middle of the level and the very front row sits low against the stage. In the Circle, a safety rail runs along the front row and the side sections have handrails, so it is worth checking a seat view photo before committing to an end or side seat.
The sweet spot for value is the central Stalls a little further back, where prices ease but the raked, unobstructed sightlines stay strong, and the central rows of the Circle, which give a good elevated view for less than the premium Stalls. Side seats in both levels are cheaper again if you are happy with an angled view. If you are not sure which level suits you, our West End seating guide explains how the levels compare. Compare live prices and seat availability across every section at My Neighbour Totoro.

We went to see My Neighbour Totoro and absolutely loved it! The large scale puppetry was amazing and really brought the story to life. Our seats were very comfortable, and the theatre amenities were great, with a few bars and well-managed queues that weren’t too bad. A fantastic overall experience. Also, Caravan Covent Garden opposite is a great place to stop for a bite before the show, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
I enjoyed my time at the Gillian Lynne Theatre to see one of the sought-after events of Gabrielle Bernstein's live event last in July 2025. The venue was easy to get to as it was walking distance from Holborn and Coven Garden stations. I arrived early and saw Gabby come out of a car, greeting us and amazed at all the people waiting in the queue. We were able to see her go into the theatre in preparation of the show. They also sold Gabby's new books. The seats were good. I enjoyed every moment of her live show. Such a memory.
My Neighbour Totoro was absolutely wonderful. The staging and puppetry were incredibly imaginative and a joy to watch. Because of a Tube delay, we arrived a few minutes late and had to watch the first 10–15 minutes on a screen, but the staff were incredibly helpful and escorted us to our seats as soon as we were allowed in. We didn’t feel like we’d missed much at all. We were seated in the very front row on the side, which gave us an amazing up-close view of the stage design and puppetry—seeing it so closely really enhanced the experience. I highly recommend this show.
Saw My Neighbor Totoro and honestly loved it. The seats in the upper circle were really good – comfy and I could see everything perfectly. I was honestly shocked at how good Totoro looked on stage, it was amazing! The acting was really strong, and everyone did such a great job bringing the characters to life. The singer and the musicians were incredible too – they added so much energy and really made the show feel magical. Definitely a brilliant night out and would totally recommend it!

The best seats are in the central Stalls, a few rows back from the front, where you sit square to the thrust stage with a clear, close view. The Stalls are steeply raked and free of pillars, so central seats further back also keep excellent sightlines. The central rows of the Circle offer a good elevated alternative.
Because the stage thrusts into the auditorium, seats down the far sides of both the Stalls and the Circle face the action side on and see less of the full staging. Safety rails cross the mid-Stalls aisles, a rail runs along the front row of the Circle, and handrails border the Circle side sections, so it is worth checking a seat view before booking an end or side seat.
The Gillian Lynne Theatre seats around 1,295 people across two levels, the Stalls and the Circle. The Stalls are the larger level and the Circle sits above with a raised, curved view of the stage.
Yes, there is step-free access to the venue and a lift gives level access to the Stalls for access patrons. There are dedicated wheelchair spaces with companion seats in Row P of the Stalls, and staff can advise on seats suitable for transferring from a wheelchair.
The best value is the central Stalls a little further back, where prices ease while the raked, unobstructed sightlines stay strong. The central rows of the Circle are also good value, giving an elevated view for less than the premium Stalls, and angled side seats in either level are cheaper again.
