OHMYGOD HEY!
It was announced yesterday that PADDINGTON The Musical, the multi-Olivier Award winning West End smash hit, would officially transfer to Broadway, opening at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in Spring 2027.
The stage adaptation of the Michael Bond story and the STUDIOCANAL films is directed by Luke Sheppard (The Little Big Things, Starlight Express) with Tom Fletcher and Jessica Swale having written the score and book respectively. The West End production stars Arti Shah and James Hameed, who jointly perform the role of Paddington Bear, with a supporting cast including Adrian Der Gregorian, Amy Ellen Richardson, Victoria Hamilton-Barritt, Bonnie Langford, Tom Edden, Brenda Edwards, Amy Booth-Steel, Teddy Kempner, and more.
As the New York transfer is announced, theatre fans have been quick to question whether Broadway's audiences will receive Paddington as warmly as London's did, prompting some consideration of the show's potential success at the box office and the Tony Awards...
