This weekend on BBC Strictly Come Dancing Paddington and Tom Fletcher hit the dancefloor for a musical performance of “The Bear in the Ballroom”.
Backed by a live band accompanying Tom Fletcher’s piano and vocals, the performanced was accompanied by a beautiful routine from the Strictly professionals before Paddington made an appearance to complete the song alongside Tom.
I don’t know who we all loved more…Tom Fletcher or Paddington!
@alicemedlam – this has to be the best guest performance ever.
@jessgavin913 – That bear is the cutest thing I have ever seen
@chriscox5619 – We watched the Paddington musical this week and it was absolutely brilliant! Best musical I’ve seen this year. Paddington is adorable and it’s so clever how his facial expressions work with an off-stage voice actor and singer.
Paddington The Musical has officially arrived in London’s West End!
When a small bear from Peru turns up in London hoping to find a new home, a chance meeting with the Brown family welcomes him into the charming world of Windsor Gardens.
But London isn’t all warm smiles and afternoon tea. Even the happiest families have hidden struggles and when a mysterious, vengeful villain sets her sights on Paddington, the Browns launch into a daring rescue mission, discovering that they need this extraordinary bear just as much as he needs them.
Bursting with show-stopping musical numbers, dazzling choreography, irresistible chaos, and of course one or two marmalade sandwiches, Paddington The Musical brings Michael Bond’s beloved characters to life, with a story inspired by the award-winning 2014 film.
Directed by Luke Sheppard, featuring original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, and a book by Olivier Award-winner Jessica Swale, this is one West End event you won’t want to miss, playing exclusively at the Savoy Theatre.
