Event description

Paddington, one of Britain’s most famous and most loved characters, is brought to life on stage in the world premiere of Paddington the Musical. Book Paddington the Musical tickets on London Theatre.

Paddington the Musical in London is based on Michael Bond’s beloved books and the award-winning films by Studiocanal. The show tells the classic story of a young bear called Paddington who arrives in London from Peru. He is taken in by the wonderful Brown family, who show him the world of Windsor Gardens. However, it’s not all marmalade sandwiches and laughter. Soon, Paddington’s life is threatened, and the Brown family must decide just how much to risk to give Paddington a home.

The first Paddington book was published in 1958, and this little bear has been part of British culture ever since. This brand new production has an exceptional cast which includes Timi Akinyosade, Amy Booth-Steel, Tarinn Callender, Delilah Bennett-Cardy, Adrian Der Gregorian, Tom Edden, Brenda Edwards, Amy Ellen Richardson, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt, Teddy Kempner, Bonnie Langford, Joseph Bramley, Leo Collon, Stevie Hare, and Jasper Rowse.

Paddington the Musical also boasts an exceptional creative team, including music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, book by Jessica Swale, direction by Luke Sheppard, choreography by Ellen Kane, scenic design by Tom Pye, costume design by Gabrielle Slade, lighting design by Neil Austin, sound design by Gareth Owen, and musical supervision, orchestrations, and arrangements by Matt Brind.

Sheppard said, “Discovering how to bring Paddington’s story to the stage continues to be an enormous privilege—with Jessica Swale and Tom Fletcher, it’s been thrilling to see this show grow into something very special, packing an incredible new score and a heart-wrenching script into a marmalade-filled suitcase. This is Paddington as you’ve never seen him before, brought to life by a team celebrating all of the magic and wonder of live theatre.”
