Paddington: The Musical
When a lost, small 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 cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go — and what they’re willing to risk — to give this special bear a home.
Based on the iconic characters from Michael Bond’s books and the award-winning films, PADDINGTON The Musical is directed by Luke Sheppard, with original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher and book by Olivier Award winner Jessica Swale.

That was marmaladificant! I did not want the show to end. Every musical cliche was used and it was beyond sensational!

Great show, too loud the show was great, but the volume was so loud that it was painful in parts and there was distortion leading to a loss of clarity

Wonderful show Good view of the stage.
Would suggest to others to minimise what you take in the way of handbag /coat …. Need to clear area around feet to allow for fellow theatre goers in and out of seats.
Paddington was wonderful, great music and such enthusiasm from all the cast. We’d highly recommend

Matinee Show for Paddington Fantastic show and one of the best I’ve seen in London, but why did the doors open only 30mins before the performance? Quite cramped in the Upper Circle and surely there should be a cloakroom to leave your coats as this made it even more cramped.
