질리언 린 극장은 런던의 극장 공연장으로, British Theatre에 소개되어 있습니다. 방문 전 예정된 공연을 살펴보고, 공연장 이용 안내와 티켓 예매 팁을 확인해 보세요. 현재의 뉴 런던 시어터(New London Theatre)가 자리한 부지는 엘리자베스 1세 시대부터 선술집과 뮤직홀 극장이 있던 곳입니다. 당시 이곳에는 ‘더 그레이트 모굴(The Great Mogul)’이라는 선술집이 있었고, 넬 그윈(Nell Gwynne)과도 관련이 있었습니다. 19세기에는 1847년에 지어진 ‘더 모굴 살룬(The Mogul Saloon)’이 들어섰고, 1851년 ‘미들섹스 뮤직홀(Middlesex Music Hall)’로 이름을 바꾼 뒤 1911년에는 ‘뉴 미들섹스 버라이어티 극장(New Middlesex Theatre of Varieties)’으로 재건되었습니다. 1919년 이 극장은 매각된 뒤 리모델링을 거쳐 ‘윈터 가든 시어터(Winter Garden Theatre)’로 재개관했으며, Kissing Time, A Night Out, Sally, Primrose, Funny Face(프레드 아스테어 주연), On The Rocks, Hotel Paradiso, The Iceman Cometh 등 여러 작품을 올리다가 1959년 영구 폐관했습니다. 뉴 런던 시어터는 1973년 1월 2일 Unknown Soldier and His Wife로 개관했고, 뒤이어 Grease(리처드 기어가 대니 역으로 출연)가 무대에 올랐습니다. 1997년에는 몇 년간 TV 스튜디오로 사용되다가 다시 공연장으로 돌아왔습니다. 이 극장의 최대 히트작은 뮤지컬 Cats로, 1981년부터 2002년까지 총 8,949회 공연을 기록했습니다. 2006년 Les Miserables가 이를 넘어설 때까지 웨스트엔드 최장기 뮤지컬 기록을 보유했습니다. 2018년, 1991년부터 Really Useful Group을 통해 이 건물을 소유해 온 앤드루 로이드 웨버(Andrew Lloyd Webber)는 극장 이름을 ‘질리언 린 시어터(Gillian Lynne Theatre)’로 바꾸겠다고 발표했습니다. 이는 런던에서 처음으로 여성의 이름을 딴 극장이었습니다. 데임 질리언 린(Dame Gillian Lynne)은 발레리나로 무용 경력을 시작해 제2차 세계대전 중 새들러스 웰스 발레(Sadler’s Wells Ballet)에 입단했으며, 20번째 생일에 런던 로열 오페라 하우스(Royal Opera House) 재개관 무대에서 첫 주요 솔로를 선보였습니다. 이후 로열 발레(Royal Ballet)에 합류했고 웨스트엔드 무용수로도 활약하며 런던 팔라디움(London Palladium)에서 스타 댄서로 출연하는 한편, 런던 콜리세움(London Coliseum)에서의 Can Can 등 대형 프로덕션에도 참여했습니다. 린은 안무가이자 연출가로 빠르게 명성을 쌓아 잉글리시 내셔널 오페라(English National Opera), 로열 셰익스피어 컴퍼니(Royal Shakespeare Company)와 함께 작업했으며, 웨스트엔드와 브로드웨이의 수많은 작품을 이끌었습니다. 특히 앤드루 로이드 웨버와의 협업으로 가장 잘 알려져 있는데, 1981년 뉴 런던 시어터에서 초연된 Cats, 웨스트엔드 역대 두 번째 최장기 뮤지컬 The Phantom of the Opera, 그리고 웨스트엔드와 브로드웨이에서 공연된 Aspects of Love의 안무를 맡았습니다. 린은 연극계에 대한 지속적인 공로를 인정받아 2013년 올리비에 어워즈(Olivier Awards)에서 특별상을 받았고, 2014년에는 여왕의 새해 훈장 명단(New Year’s Honours)에서 데임 작위를 받았습니다. 현재 이 극장에서는 평단의 호평을 받은 앤드루 로이드 웨버의 <a href="https://www.britishtheatre.com/shows/school-of-rock/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">School Of Rock</a>가 공연 중입니다. 쇼 보트 (2016년 4월 –워 호스 (2009년 3월 28일 – 2016년 3월)이매진 디스 – 새 뮤지컬 (2008년 11월 19일 – 2008년 6월 14일)바람과 함께 사라지다 – 새 뮤지컬 (2008년 4월 22일 – 2008년 6월 14일)갈매기 (2007년 11월 21일 – 2008년 1월 12일)리어 왕 (2007년 11월 14일 – 2008년 1월 12일)블루 맨 그룹 (2005년 11월 10일 – 2007년 6월 24일)요셉과 놀라운 테크니컬러 드림코트 (2003년 3월 2일 – 2005년 9월 3일)우모자 (2002년 9월 6일 – 2003년 2월 8일)캣츠 (11 Mat 1981 – 2002년 5월 11일) 1, 8, 19, 25, 38, 55, 59, 68, 91, 98, 168, 171, 188, 242, 243, 521 영국 왕립 셰익스피어 극단의 경이로운 각색 작품이 이제 길리언 린 극장에서 상연됩니다. 여섯 개의 올리비에상을 수상한 이 '깊은 마법 같은 경험'은 (Elle) 하야오 미야자키의 매혹적인 이야기를 잊을 수 없는 토토로와 전설적인 캣버스를 포함한 놀라운 퍼펫 공연을 통해 생동감 있게 구현합니다. 아동기 상상력을 기리는 성장 이야기입니다.

History

The site of the modern New London Theatre previously held taverns and music hall theatres since Elizabethan times. In those times, it was tavern called The Great Mogul and it was associated with Nell Gwynne. In the 19th Century, the site held The Mogul Saloon (built in 1847), which became the Middlesex Music Hall in 1851, and in turn was rebuilt as the New Middlesex Theatre of Varieties in 1911. In 1919 the theatre was sold, refurbished, and reopened as the Winter Garden Theatre, where it produced productions such as Kissing Time, A Night Out, Sally, Primrose, Funny Face (starring Fred Astaire), On The Rocks, Hotel Paradiso, and The Iceman Cometh before it was permanently closed in 1959. The New London Theatre opened on 2 January 1973 with a production of the Unknown Soldier and His Wife, followed by Grease (starring Richard Gere as Danny). In 1997, the theatre began being used as a television studio for several years before return to theatrical productions. The theatre’s biggest hit was the musical Cats, which ran from 1981 to 2002 for a total of 8,949 performances. It held the record for longest running West End musical until 2006 when Les Miserables surpassed it. In 2018, Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose Really Useful Group have owned the building since 1991, announced the theatre would be renamed the Gillian Lynne Theatre, the first London theatre to be named after a woman. Dame Gillian Lynne started her dancing career as a ballerina, joining the Sadler’s Wells Ballet during the Second World War, and performing her first major solo at the opening of London’s Royal Opera House on her 20th birthday. She went on to join the Royal Ballet, and became a dancer in the West End, appearing as a star dancer at the London Palladium, and major productions such as Can Can at the London Coliseum. Lynne quickly became renowned as a choreographer and director, working on productions with the English National Opera, Royal Shakespeare Company and many West End and Broadway shows. She may be best-known for her collaborations with Andrew Lloyd Webber: she choreographed the musicals Cats (which opened at the New London Theatre in 1981), The Phantom of the Opera (the second-longest running West End musical) and Aspects of Love (which ran in the West End and Broadway). Lynne received a Special Award at the 2013 Olivier Awards for her continued services to theatre, and in 2014, she was made a Dame in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list. The theatre is currently host to the critically acclaimed production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's School Of Rock

Seating plan and where to sit

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.

Best seats at the Gillian Lynne Theatre

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.

Seats to check before you book

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.

Best value

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.

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!

Frequently asked questions

Where are the best seats at the Gillian Lynne Theatre?

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.

Which seats have restricted views at the Gillian Lynne Theatre?

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.

How many seats does the Gillian Lynne Theatre have?

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.

Is there step-free access and accessible seating at the Gillian Lynne Theatre?

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.

What is the best value section for My Neighbour Totoro?

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.
