Opening at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 3 April, the London season of Where is Peter Rabbit? follows the hugely popular runs at the Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-On-Windermere which premiered in June 2016 and has enthralled audiences and garnered rave reviews ever since.

Prick up your ears to the delectable voices of Olivier Award-winning actor and comedian Griff Rhys Jones and BAFTA Award-winning actor and national treasure Miriam Margoyles. Marvel at the delightful dancing and entrancing set and shake your tail to the 14 joyful songs, with lyrics by one of Britain's most beloved playwrights, Sir Alan Ayckbourn and music by Steven Edis.

Handed down from generation to generation, these classic stories hold a special place in our hearts, so whether a warm hug of nostalgia, or the perfect introduction to Beatrix Potter's Tales, this is a truly charming production for the whole family to cherish and enjoy together. Devised by Roger Glossop, and directed and choreographed by Sheila Carter, this innovative show combines live performance, projection and recording in a thoroughly interactive brand-new magical musical, entirely based on the original Tales by Beatrix Potter.

Griff Rhys Jones said: The characters and the strange life of animals are so well observed by Beatrix Potter and not just in her beautiful illustrations. I don't think we cherish things quite as much as we do children's books, handed down like golden gems; and it's remarkable to think that these stories are still so loved.

Miriam Margoyles said: The characters leap into your heart. There is a directness and a freshness that comes through the text and they will live for all time. It's a window back into childhood.

Thomas Merrington, Creative Consultant on behalf of Frederick Warne & Co said We are so thrilled that this production of Where is Peter Rabbit? will be making it's West End debut this Easter. Fans of all ages will fall in love with this beautiful production it really brings the characters to life in the most charming way .
