The Tiger Who Came To Tea Tour 2022

The Tiger Who Came To Tea Tour sees the Nation’s favourite tea-guzzling tiger return in 2022. Full tour schedule below.

Following its sold-out West End summer season at Theatre Royal Haymarket, the Olivier Award-nominated stage production of The Tiger Who Came to Tea returns for another major UK tour this year. A musical play adapted and directed by David Wood OBE, based on the classic tale by the late Judith Kerr OBE, The Tiger Who Came to Tea will open at Theatre Royal Brighton on 2 February with tour dates currently booked until 1 September 2022. New casting includes: Jennifer Addey as ‘Sophie’, Katie Tripp as ‘Mummy’, James Carlisle as ‘Daddy’, ‘Milkman’, ‘Postman’ and ‘Tiger’, with understudies Benjamin Stone and Tia Bunce.

Hailed as Britain’s best-loved picture book, Judith Kerr’s timeless classic The Tiger Who Came to Tea is now in its 54th year, selling over five million copies since it was first published in 1968. The stage show premiered in 2008 and has since toured nationally and internationally, including Christmas seasons at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre with sold-out dates in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Bahrain, along with seven successful seasons in the West End. In 2012 the production was nominated for the Olivier Award for ‘Best Family Entertainment’.

Bringing the nation’s favourite tea-guzzling tiger to life on stage, this musical slice of teatime mayhem entertains with sing-a-long songs, oodles of magic and interactive fun. It’s the ideal introduction to live theatre for children aged three and above and the perfect summer treat for the whole family.

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 furry, stripy tiger!

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is directed by David Wood OBE, with designs by Susie Caulcutt, assistant director/choreographer Emma Clayton, music arranger & supervisor Peter Pontzen, magical illusions designed by former President of the Magic Circle Scott Penrose, lighting design by Tony Simpson and sound design by Shock Productions.
