The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr (Jul 2024)

This event has already passed

Judith Kerr's much-loved children's tale The Tiger Who Came to Tea is back at the Theatre Royal Haymarket for a limited two-month run.

Sophie and her mum are sitting down for tea when all of a sudden the doorbell rings. Imagine their surprise when they open the door to a stripy tiger! He quickly invites himself in and starts guzzling all of their tea, turning their house upside-down with all of his clumsy chaos.

The happy tale is jam-packed full of teatime mayhem and singalong songs that will have your whole family grinning from ear to ear.

Judith Kerr's best-selling children's book

The Olivier Award-nominated show has been adapted for the stage from Judith Kerr's illustrated children's book which has sold an incredible 10 million copies since its release in 1968.

It's perfect for pre- and primary school-aged children, and audience participation is very much encouraged.

What the theatre critics say...

The Times: ★★★★ "This tiger is the cat's meow"; Mail on Sunday: ★★★★ "A grrreat achievement"; Daily Express: ★★★★ "All the fun of the fur"; Daily Telegraph: ★★★★ "Perfectly pitched"
