"Paddington The Musical bursts onto the West End with all the warmth of a freshly toasted marmalade sandwich, transforming Michael Bond's beloved stowaway into a joyous, big-hearted stage star. What could have been a nostalgia-soaked cash-in instead arrives as a genuinely charming, sharply crafted family spectacle, witty enough for the grown-ups, fizzy enough for the kids, and sweet without ever turning sticky."
"Jessica Swale's book threads the needle beautifully, preserving Paddington's unflappable kindness while giving the story enough pace and sparkle for a full-scale musical. There is mischief, mayhem and, of course, a hearty dose of marmalade-driven trouble, all delivered with the knowing humour that has kept the bear endearing for generations. Tom Fletcher's score is an unapologetic pop confection: bright, bouncy and irresistibly hummable."
Paddington The Musical offers a genuinely charming, sharply crafted family spectacle that balances mischief and heartfelt warmth. The production preserves Paddington's unflappable kindness while moving at a lively pace suitable for a full-scale musical. Tom Fletcher's score delivers bright, bouncy, hummable pop numbers with standouts like The Rhythm of London and Marmalade. Performances include a delightful turn from Bonnie Langford as Mrs Bird and a show-stopping moment for Grant (Tarinn Callender) in It's Never Too Late. The overall effect is witty for adults, fizzy for children, and thoroughly feel-good without becoming saccharine.
