Judith Kerr's loveable children's story, The Tiger who Came to Tea, will be brought to life this summer at the Lyric Theatre. The play promises plenty of musical energy and playful charm as a surprise visitor caused mayhem at tea time. Children will delight in seeing the tiger munch his way through the house and drink all the water from the taps.
Susie Caulcutt's ingenious set and costume design pays careful homage to the iconic illustrations of Kerr's original story, and Peter Ponzten ensures that the words as well as the pictures are brought to life in every song.This dramatised tale made its theatrical debut in 2011 when the book  was adapted for the stage by  David Wood  OBE. Wood's rendering became an instant classic, receiving a flurry of praise and scooping a nomination for  Best Entertainment and Family at the 2012 Olivier Awards .
The show is suitable for children over the age of three, making it a perfect way to engage and entertain little ones. And, like all Wood's productions, the show is sure to charm adults just as much. We can't wait to welcome the opening of this musical spectacular, which we know will have parents and children alike singing along with some of their beloved characters.

    THE GUARDIAN

    "It's a proper magic-and-mayhem show, full of silliness and sleight-of-hand."

    Maddy Costa

    THE STAGE

    "a wonderful introduction to the magic of the theatre"

    ABOUT THE LYRIC THEATRE

    Situated in the heart of the West End, the Lyric Theatre lies within easy walking distance of both Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square stations. It was first built in 1888 as a home for operetta, and this makes it ideally suited to the singing, dancing and all round good fun that we know you can expect from The Tiger Who Came to Tea.

    WHERE TO EAT

    Mildreds vegetarian restaurant offers Omnivores a warm welcome. Even meat lovers will be tempted by delicious organic lunch menu, and the kids will feel at home in the relaxed and cheery atmosphere. They don't take bookings, but tend to be fairly quiet at lunch time.

    Set in a three-tiered, Grade II-listed pub dating back to 1739, The Blue Posts has a members’ club-meets-traditional-boozer vibe, appealing to those who want to belong to the Soho House set but can’t afford, or don’t fancy paying, the membership fees. The Blue Posts isn’t actually private, but feels it.

    A delightfully affordable addition to the Soho dining scene, Lina Stores restaurant is so ravishingly beautiful in its eau de Nil 50s retro design that you'll want to take everything home with you. We recommend sitting at the counter for the full mid-century Italian cafe experience.

  • Bocca di Lupo

    We love Bocca di Lupo, on nearby Archer Street, offering exquisite, artisanal Italian regional delicacies. And later, to sate that sweet tooth, there's Gelupo opposite, offering what's reputed to be some of London's most tongue-tingling gelato.
