Based on Judith Kerr’s classic picture book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea has delighted generations of families since its publication. The stage adaptation is written and directed by David Wood, a leading figure in children’s theatre, known for bringing well loved stories to life with clarity and imagination.
The musical play expands the familiar tale with songs, visual surprises, and moments of clumsy chaos, while staying true to the spirit of the book.
After success in the West End, the production continues its journey with this UK tour. The Tiger Who Came to Tea remains an ideal first theatre trip and a comforting favourite for families returning to the story once again.
