The Tiger Who Came To Tea

About The Tiger Who Came To Tea

The Tiger Who Came To Tea at Haymarket, London, is an Olivier Award-nominated musical play adapted and directed by David Wood, based on Judith Kerr’s book. It returns to the West End for Summer 2026.

The story begins when Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea and the doorbell rings. What they find at the door is a big, stripy tiger, and the show follows the tea-guzzling visitor through a mix of magic, sing-along songs and clumsy chaos.

This stage adaptation keeps the familiar set-up of the original teatime tale, with a family show format and a clear focus on the unexpected arrival that drives the story.
