The Tiger Who Came To Tea

About The Tiger Who Came To Tea

The Tiger Who Came To Tea at Haymarket, London is a musical play adapted and directed by David Wood, based on Judith Kerr’s book. It returns to the West End for Summer 2026 and begins with Sophie and her mummy sitting down to tea when the doorbell rings and a big, stripy tiger appears.

The story follows the tiger’s tea-guzzling visit, with magic, sing-along songs and clumsy chaos along the way. The production is Olivier Award nominated and brings the classic teatime tale to the stage in a format that is easy to follow for families.

The show is designed as a family outing and keeps the original story front and centre, making it straightforward to understand what kind of experience you are booking.

Key facts: Returns to the West End for Summer 2026; suitable for ages 3+; babes in arms under 18 months sitting on an adult lap do not need a ticket; all other patrons must have a valid ticket.
