By: Stephi Wild May. 30, 2018
The Tiger Who Came to Tea today announces the cast for its 2018 West End summer run: Abbey Norman plays 'Sophie', Stephanie Summer plays 'Mummy', Thomas O'Connell plays ('Daddy'/'Milkman'/'Postman'/'Tiger'), with Sarah Horton (Understudy/ASM) and Glen Newham (Understudy/ASM).
Celebrating its 10th anniversary on stage and 50 years of Britain's best-loved picture book, this truly magical Olivier Award nominated production returns to London for its 5th West End run, opening at the Piccadilly Theatre on Thursday 28 June, playing until Sunday 9 September 2018.
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 plus 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!
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.
David Wood is undisputedly the country's leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children, whose many successes include: The Gingerbread Man, Guess How Much I Love You, eight Roald Dahl adaptations including West End hits The BFG, The Witches and George's Marvellous Medicine; and the Olivier Award winning Goodnight Mister Tom.
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.
