I went to the West End theatre with a friend yesterday. We saw Spirited Away. It was very good. The side characters were funny.
This year, Studio Ghibli's film Spirited Away became a stage production. First, there was a national tour in Japan. Then the London production started.
The theatre was packed. My seat was on the ground floor, close to the stage. It was very easy to see.
The dialogues of the play were in Japanese, with English subtitles. However, the subtitles were on the right and left of the stage, a little higher up, so it was difficult to see from my seat. If you want to read the subtitles, I would recommend seats on the first floor or front of the dress circle. The dialogue and acting is exactly as in the anime, so if you are a Ghibli fan, you probably don't need subtitles to enjoy the show.
