About PADDINGTON The Musical
PADDINGTON The Musical brings the world's most lovable bear from Darkest Peru to the West End stage. Follow Paddington as he arrives at Paddington Station, is taken in by the Brown family, and proceeds to cause wonderful chaos with his well-meaning but often disastrous adventures — all fuelled by his love of marmalade sandwiches.
This brand-new production at the Savoy Theatre features a life-size Paddington puppet, charming original songs and the heartwarming message that runs through all of Paddington's stories: if we're kind and polite, the world will be right. It's the perfect first theatre experience for young children and a joy for the whole family.
