Preview: The Tiger Who Came to Tea, Theatre Royal Winchester

Children will enjoy a charming musical adaptation of the beloved classic, The Tiger Who Came to Tea, when it comes to Theatre Royal Winchester from Monday 5 August.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is a delightful family show, which tells the story of Sophie and her mummy as they sit down for tea and the doorbell rings and they are faced with a stripy, tea-guzzling tiger at their front door.

A musical play, The Tiger Who Came to Tea is packed with sing-a-long songs, magic and chaos – perfect for young audiences.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is based on the children’s book by the late author and illustrator Judith Kerr OBE – also known for her Mog series and whose books have sold more than 10 million copies around the world. It has been adapted, and directed, by David Wood OBE – a leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children including The Gingerbread Man, The Witches and Babe the Sheep Pig.

An Olivier Award-nominated production, it comes direct from London’s West End and is back on tour and brought to the stage by Nicoll Entertainment – a company, which has toured shows globally and whose other productions include Dinosaur World Live, Dragons and Mythical Beasts and The Lion Inside – a heart-warming story about self-esteem.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea will be at Theatre Royal Winchester from Monday 5 – Wednesday 7 August at various times. Recommended age: 3+. For more information or to book tickets, visit: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840 440.
