Boring and costly
I hadn't seen the film, so I came to this purely as a piece of theatre. The set design and special effects are beautifully done, but the plot is thin: no twists, no real adventure, just one quiet drama into another one. Anyone who grew up in the '80 would be very familiar with this plot. A visual treat, but not worth £150.

Utterly Magical
My partner booked this show for me for my birthday and also gave me the gift of a V.I.P package as a complete surprise. Not only was our host Noah the nicest and kindest person but he helped make it an even more wonderful experience. I think this is by far THE best production I have ever seen. The set design is utterly beautiful and the puppets were out of this world. I loved every second of this production and I was lost for words. My partner had never seen the film but even he agreed it was amazing.

Absolutely Wonderful
Drifting between magic, poetry and beauty. We’re visiting London from Italy, and this experience was one of the most beautiful moments of our trip. My Neighbour Totoro is truly magical, poetic and full of beauty. We were sitting in Row N (Seats 60, 61 and 62). Although not perfectly central, the view was great and the seats were absolutely perfect for enjoying the show. A wonderful experience that we’ll remember for a long time. ❤️

Do not book seats Circle Row C (84 to 85) - Zero visibility for this specific production
Show: My Neighbour Totoro (5 stars for production, 1 star for venue administration): Had the most disappointing experience at Gillian Lynn Theatre. As an avid theatre enthusiast, I have gone to a fair share of plays where I have booked seats with restricted views- these are usually cheaper and therefore more agreeable to my wallet when living in a city like London. However, the seats (Circle, Row C, Seats 85 and 84) marked as "restricted view" on their website should be marked as "no view" - especially for this particular production of 'My Neighbor Totoro', which has a deep stage design and visual effects that are fully front centric. Seat nos. 82C to 83C had an extremely restricted view, but were comparably sufficient for enjoying the production, but in my opinion (and I hope the venue admin takes this review seriously) seat nos 84C to 85C should be completely omitted for this particular play because it is a waste of the time and effort put into this production by the insanely talented set designers and visual effects artists. We were spoken to extremely rudely by the staff supervisor present at the time, who told us "you get what you pay for" when we flagged the issue with the seating. It is a shame, because the production itself was truly wonderful, and the sheer talent and skill displayed by the actors only brought into stark contrast how commercially motivated some theatre venues are, with regard to (in the case of our group) enthusiastic theatre lovers who, despite not being able to afford the same as those in the front rows, were made to feel inferior and ashamed for supporting a work of art. I do believe Miyazaki himself would have been dismayed by the sentiment with which we left the show -the magic and purity of his work destroyed by banal profit oriented theatre venues that prioritise capitalism over art. Sharing an image of the view from my seat (Circle, Row C, Seat 85) during the interval. The only visible part of the stage is the front sliver, with the rest of the production and stage design completely obscured from view.

Great time with family
Amazing family experience. We sat in the circle at the side so was prepared to not have the best view but actually we had an amazing time and the view was perfect. I went with my 3 boys ages 5, 8 and 10 and they all loved it. It follows the film closely so my boys were excited as they knew what was coming next. Great performance by all, set design was spectacular and acting was amazing.

My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London take?
+
Plan for about 2.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 51 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does My Neighbour Totoro Tickets - Gillian Lynne Theatre, London start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
