Posted by In this special solo edition of The West End Frame Show, Editor Andrew Tomlins sits down moments after opening night of Paddington The Musical to share his review.
Despite going in completely blind, Andrew quickly finds himself swept up in the show’s heart, theatricality and pure stage magic. He touches on the ingenious way Paddington is brought to life onstage, the fusion of inventive design with old-school stagecraft, and the musical’s timely message of acceptance.
Andrew also discusses standout performances, jaw-dropping production moments and why this feels like a major new British musical.
