PADDINGTON THE MUSICAL
Hold on to your hats for the world
premiere of Paddington The Musical 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, mischief 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 awardwinning 2014 film.
