The Tiger Who Came To Tea

Why see The Tiger Who Came To Tea?

ten years of west end summers!

Judith Kerr's best-selling children's book The Tiger Who Came to Tea returns to the West End this summer for its tenth season! Perfect for youngsters and their families, David Wood OBE's show will delight and entertain, with plenty of chaos, magic, and sing-along songs to keep the cubs entertained!.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

This magical adaptation penned by the leading children's theatre David Wood OBE sees a normal family tea-time interrupted by a very large and stripey guest. As the Tiger ingratiates himself into the household, chaos and clumsy shenanigans ensue, as the family race to keep their peculiar guest occupied and fed. Expect magic, sing-along songs for your cubs to join in with, and of course, plenty of slapstick comedy to keep them (and you) rrrrroaring with delight!

Wood's previous stage successes span an entire canon of favourite children's stories that include Goodnight Mr Tom; Shaun The Sheep; George's Marvellous Medicine; Fantastic Mr Fox; The Gingerbread Man; The BFG; The Witches; Meg and Mog; Spot The Dog and Babe the Sheep Pig.
