The Tiger Who Came To Tea
The Olivier Award nominated The Tiger Who Came to Tea is returning to the Theatre Royal Haymarket for its 12th West End Summer Season!
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, stripy tiger!
Join the tea-guzzling tiger in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos! A stunning stage adaptation of the classic tale of teatime mayhem... expect to be surprised!
Produced by Nicoll Entertainment, based on the book by Judith Kerr OBE and directed by David Wood OBE.
David Wood OBE is undisputedly the country’s leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children. His many successes include The Gingerbread Man, The Witches and Babe the Sheep Pig.

A must-see show outstanding. The show was brilliant, we were so pleased to see it because we had difficulty getting there with train disruptions due to the hot weather. We arrived late and the theatre staff were so accommodating. We were able to change our tickets for the afternoon performance and we were so glad because our 3 year old granddaughter was mesmerised by the whole experience and we were thankful to have seen it. All the children loved it.
