Our Theatre Recommendations

Paddington: The Musical

Ongoing | Savoy Theatre

Bringing one of Britain’s best-loved characters to life on stage, this world premiere is marmalade-packed with irresistible songs and dazzling choreography. When a small, lost bear arrives from Peru he searches London for a new home. A chance encounter with the Brown family leads him to a wonderful new habitat, Windsor Gardens. But London isn’t all cream teas and cucumber sandwiches. Even the happiest families can be hiding secrets. The Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go to give this special bear a home.

Wicked The Musical

Ongoing | Apollo Victoria Theatre

With the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good, now seems like a good time to remind those amongst you who haven’t seen the stage version that it’s definitely worth a visit. The story of how the Wicked Witch of the West became wicked is colourfully told, with great songs and brilliant lead actresses. The communal joy that you get from experiencing a live musical performance like this is so much more exhilarating than observing it on a screen. And that song Defying Gravity’ is one of the best ends to a first half ever!
