My children and I loved the play, and the interaction the actors had with the audience was brilliant.

Best children’s show

We all loved this show - the music, the production and the actors. The tiger is magical and the show captures Judith Kerr’s fantastic book perfectly. We’ve seen a lot of the Julia Donaldson adaptations as well as other children’s theatre, and ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ is definitely my favourite out of all of them.

Disappointing and slow

Disappointing, it was slow and a little boring for my 4 year old just watching monologue between 3 people. Great when the Tiger came on. Unfortunately didn’t play the up beat Robbie Williams accompanying track either.

A: Hi Emma,

Thanks for your message and interest in The Tiger Who Came To Tea!

Babes in arms under 18 months sitting on an adult lap do not need a ticket – all other guests must have a valid ticket.

I hope this helps and that you have a brilliant time at the show!

Best wishes,
