When a lost, small bear from Peru arrives in London in search of a new home, a chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to the wonderful world of Windsor Gardens.
But London isn’t all cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go — and what they’re willing to risk — to give this special bear a home.
Normally such hits need a star, and here that star is surely the costume. Stepping out onto the Paddington station stage, the golden-fleeced, forest-dwelling Peruvian asylum seeker triggers waves of rapturous delight.
As soon as you walk in you feel something, there is a buzz of anticipation, the set warmly overwhelms while the projected graphics slink off the stage and along the walls to bring the Savoy Theatre to life. There are just a few children at this evening performance because this is Paddington the Musical and his fans stretch right back to 1958, and it showed in the audience age range.
