The nation’s favourite tea-guzzling tiger is to return to the Theatre Royal Market from 11 July 2022. David Wood directs his adaptation of Judith Kerr’s The Tiger Who Came To Tea.

The Tiger Who Came To Tea is back this summer at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Following 2021’s sell-out success, this Tiger (who is sure he’ll be up for the Olivier this year finally, or so we are told) will be on stage from 11 July – 4 September 2022. Book The Tiger Who Came To Tea London Tickets

Hailed as Britain’s best-loved picture book, Judith Kerr’s timeless classic is now in its 54th year, selling over 5 million copies since it was first published in 1968. The stage show premiered in 2008 and has since toured nationally and internationally, including Christmas seasons at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre with sold-out dates in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai and Bahrain. In 2012 the production was nominated for the Olivier Award for ‘Best Family Entertainment’. This year marks its 8th West End season.
