Venue: Darlington Hippodrome

A musical play adapted and directed by DAVID WOOD. Based on the book by JUDITH KERR. Direct from the West End, the Olivier Award nominated smash hit show, THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA returns on tour. 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, stripy tiger! Join the tea-guzzling tiger in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos. Don’t miss this stunning stage adaptation of the classic tale of teatime mayhem... expect to be surprised! Suitable for children aged 3+. ★★★★ ‘This Tiger is the cat’s meow’ The Times ★★★★ ‘A rare and grreat achievement’ Mail on Sunday ★★★★ ‘All the fun of the fur’ Daily Express ★★★★ ‘Perfectly pitched’ Daily Telegraph ★★★★★ ‘Delightful’ Whatsonstage.com
