A.A. Milne News

All new photos have been released from the Gala performance of Disney's WINNIE THE POOH THE MUSICAL at Riverside Studios yesterday, Sunday 26 March. Guests included Alex Jones, Anneka Rice, Charlene White, James & Ola Jordan, Rachel Riley & Pasha Kovalev, Tamara Ecclestone and Vanessa Feltz.

The hotly anticipated UK production of the new musical adaptation of Disney's Winnie the Pooh has arrived in London at Riverside Studios. This charming new stage show takes us on a series of whimsical adventures with the well loved characters created by A.A. Milne including Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore.

Before A.A. Milne gave us Winnie-the-Pooh, he wrote a deliciously comedic and romantic play Belinda: An April Folly, which premiered on the West End in 1918. Belinda was ahead of its time, exploring the battle of the sexes set against the carefree English countryside, where lovers pine and romance renews each Spring.

The World Premiere of the new musical, The Tales of Christopher Robin and Winnie-the-Pooh comes to the Legacy Theatre in Branford, March 25-26.

​​​​​​​Coming up Saturday, March 25, 2023, the latest presentation in Actors Theatre of Indiana LabSeries, BELINDA: AN APRIL FOLLY, will take place at the Carmel Clay Public Library.

Creative partners Maryalice Rubins-Topoleski and Charlotte Kirkby have become very skilled at unearthing the forgotten plays of yesteryear and breathing new life into them.  Their current endeavor is the rare revival of a 1922 comedy - The Dover Road by A. A. Milne, running March 10 through March 26. Check out the photos here!
