Please look after this bear! The world's most beloved marmalade-loving bear makes his spectacular West End debut at the Savoy Theatre. With music by McFly's Tom Fletcher, a book by Olivier Award winner Jessica Swale, and direction by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, Starlight Express), Paddington the Musical is a 'warm, witty' (Time Out) celebration of family, belonging, and hard stares.
Cancellation policy: theatre tickets cannot be cancelled, exchanged, or refunded once purchased.
Paddington is performed by Arti Shah (in costume) and James Hameed (voice and remote puppetry). The cast includes Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Millicent Clyde, Bonnie Langford as Mrs Bird, Brenda Edwards as Tanya, Adrian Der Gregorian as Mr Brown, Amy Ellen Richardson as Mrs Brown, Delilah Bennett-Cardy as Judy Brown, Tom Edden as Mr Curry, and Teddy Kempner as Mr Gruber.
Paddington the Musical features music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher (McFly) and a book by Olivier Award winner Jessica Swale (Nell Gwynn). It's directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, Starlight Express), with choreography by Ellen Kane, scenic design by Tom Pye, costume design by Gabrielle Slade, lighting by Neil Austin, sound by Gareth Owen, and musical supervision by Matt Brind. Produced by Sonia Friedman (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) with Studiocanal and Universal Music UK.
Paddington the Musical opened at the Savoy Theatre in November 2025 to five-star reviews and rapturous audiences. Critics praised the innovative puppetry, Tom Fletcher's catchy score, and the emotional depth of the storytelling. The show has extended multiple times due to demand and is now booking to February 2027. The song 'One of Us' was tipped as a Christmas number one contender.
