More information about Paddington The Musical
In a statement, Olivier Award-winning director Luke Sheppard said, “Paddington approaches life with curiosity, kindness and an unwavering sense of adventure, and what an adventure Broadway will be. It’s a dream come true to be bringing this joyful show to New York and I can’t wait for audiences to meet this very special bear that we all hold so close to our hearts.”
That sense of kindness and curiosity leads Paddington's adventures in the big city, where a chance encounter with the Brown family leads him into an unexpected world of adventure. But London isn’t just warm tea and friendly faces — and even the best-intentioned families have their own issues behind closed doors. And when a mysterious, evil villain sets her sights on Paddington, the Browns embark on a singular rescue mission, realizing they need this special bear as much as he needs them.
At the 2026 Olivier Awards, Paddington won seven Olivier Awards, making it the most Olivier-winning new musical of all time and tying the record for Oliviers won by any musical in history (including revivals). Writers Jessica Swale and Tom Fletcher and director Luke Sheppard (& Juliet) all took home trophies.
What to watch for
- The musical is based on the beloved book A Bear Called Paddington written by Michael Bond and the award-winning 2014 film Paddington.
- In London, Paddington The Musical was acclaimed for the unique way it brings the title bear to life. One actor performs as Paddington in an animatronic suit, while another provides the bear's voice from off stage.
- Paddington is named after an English neighborhood and the train station located there. Bond lived near that station and thought it would make a good name for his character.
- The set of Paddington replicates numerous iconic British sights and landmarks, like red telephone boxes, Windsor Gardens, and the Natural History Museum.
