Richmond Theatre : Tiger Who Came To Tea
Based on the picture book written and illustrated by Judith Kerr. Adapted for the stage with songs and lyrics by David Wood.
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!
Exciting and charming, The Tiger Who Came to Tea has been enjoyed by millions of children since it was first published over
30 years ago. Now for the first time ever, the much-loved tale of a tiger creating tea time mayhem is brought vividly to life on stage in a show packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos.
Don't miss out on this wonderfully entertaining show for children aged three and up. Tea time has never been so entertaining!
