Paddington the Musical has opened at London’s Savoy Theatre in time for the festive season - and has already proven to be a resounding hit in the capital.

Inspired by the beloved children’s books by Michael Bond, as well as the films, it’s directed by Luke Sheppard, the man behind hits such as the Starlight Express, with a music score written by McFly’s Tom Fletcher.

So is this the West End’s hottest ever family show?

We’re joined by actors Amy Ellen Richardson and Adrian Der Gregorian, who play Mr and Mrs Brown.

Plus, theatre critic Tim Bano is here to share his 5-star review of the production.
