I would go to Paddington. I love Paddington.
Let joy be unconfined: The musical of Paddington is overflowing with warmth and outrageously funny performances and is going to be a marmalade-flavoured megahit. My @variety.com review: variety.com/2025/legit/r...
‘Paddington’ Review: A Furry, Funny, Fantastic Musical Comedy
With songs by Tom Fletcher, it's a show alive not only with joy but that vanishingly rare theatrical quality: completely beguiling charm.
