The Tiger Who Came To Tea description
The Tiger Who Came to Tea is back at the Theatre Royal Haymarket for its 12th West End season and everyone's thrilled! This gorgeous musical is packed with sing-along tunes, stacked with magic and full of interactive fun. Based on Judith Kerr's 1968 children's picture book, which was an instant hit and is still loved just as much almost 60 years later, it offers a fantastic family experience for people of every age. Adapted for the stage with songs and lyrics by the nation's leading children's theatre guru David Wood OBE (Shaun the Sheep, The BFG, Meg and Mog, Babe the Sheep Pig), this is the perfect West End theatre treat for summertime.
Sophie and her mum are enjoying their afternoon tea when a huge orange tiger knocks on the door. They let him in and he joins them at the table. First he eats all the food. Then he drinks all the tea. Then he finds all the food left in the house and eats that. Finally he drinks all the water in the taps before leaving. The next day Sophie and her mum go shopping for more food. They even buy an enormous tin of special tiger food, just in case he comes back. This stunning stage adaptation comes with Designs by Susie Caulcutt. Music Arrangement and Supervision from Peter Pontzen, Magical Illusions from Scott Penrose, the ex President of the Magic Circle, Lighting design by Tony Simpson, Sound design by Shock Productions and Assistant Direction and Choreography by Emma Clayton.
