THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA Coming to Her Majesty's Theatre

The tea-guzzling Tiger pounces into Adelaide at Her Majesty's Theatre from 22 - 24 January. THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA is a musical play adapted and directed by David Wood. This truly magical production is based on Judith Kerr's best-selling children's book.

Direct from a sell-out season on London's West End, Judith Kerr's ferociously popular tale THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA is a Grrrreat musical play! If you've never had a Tiger arrive for tea, then this loveable production is the perfect way to show the whole family how to behave the next time one rings the doorbell.

"A proper magic-and-mayhem show, full of silliness!" The Guardian, UK

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big furry, stripy tiger!

When Sophie and her mummy welcome the hungry Tiger to tea, he proceeds to eat all the sandwiches, buns, biscuits and more. And even manages to the drink all the water in the tap! What will Sophie's daddy say when he gets home? THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA is the perfect slice of teatime mayhem with sing-a-long songs, oodles of magic and interactive fun for children ages 3 plus and their families.

David Wood OBE is undisputedly the UK's leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children. His many successes include Fantastic Mr Fox, The Gingerbread Man, BFG, The Witches, Meg and Mog, Spot and Babe the Sheep Pig.
