About Paddington The Musical
Hold on to your hats! PADDINGTON The Musical is now playing in London’s West End.
When a small, lost bear from Peru arrives in London in search of a new home, a chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to the wonderful world of Windsor Gardens.
But London isn’t all afternoon teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when a mysterious and vengeful villain sets her sights on Paddington, the Browns embark on a thrilling rescue mission, realising they need this special bear as much as he needs them.
Packed with show-stopping songs, dazzling choreography, mishaps and mayhem at every turn – and of course, marmalade sandwiches – PADDINGTON The Musical is based on the iconic characters from Michael Bond’s books, with a story inspired by the award-winning 2014 film.
Directed by Luke Sheppard, with original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, and book by Olivier Award-winner Jessica Swale, don’t miss PADDINGTON The Musical – only at the Savoy Theatre.
Please look after this bear. Thank you.
