THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA Announces New Cast For 2019 UK Tour

Olivier Award nominated children's theatre favourite, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, today announces a brand new cast for its 2019 UK Tour: Jocelyn Zackon plays 'Sophie'; Lizzie Dewar plays 'Mummy'; David Scotland plays 'Daddy'/'Milkman'/'Postman'/'Tiger'; with Hannah Miller (Understudy / Wardrobe) and Glen Newham (Understudy / ASM).

Fresh from celebrating its 10th anniversary on stage and over 50 years as Britain's best-loved picture book, the 2019 UK tour opens on 26 March 2019 at the Palace Theatre in Mansfield, visiting a whopping 55 venues until 20 October 2019. See tour dates listed below (further dates still to be announced).

Adapted and directed by David Wood OBE based on the classic tale by Judith Kerr OBE, The Tiger Who Came to Tea is the ideal introduction to theatre for children aged three and above and the perfect 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!

When Sophie and her Mummy welcome the hungry Tiger to tea, he proceeds to eat all the sandwiches, buns, biscuits and more. He even manages to drink all the water in the tap! What will Sophie's Daddy say when he gets home?

Join the Tiger, Sophie and her Mummy and Daddy, in this musical slice of teatime mayhem with sing-a-long songs, oodles of magic and interactive fun.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is a musical play adapted and directed by David Wood, based on the best-loved book by Judith Kerr, designed by Susie Caulcutt, movement director Emma Clayton and music arranger / supervisor Peter Pontzen. Produced by Nick Brooke Ltd.
