Sophie and her mum are just settling down for a quiet dinner time when there’s an unexpected knock at the door. But it’s not a neighbour… it’s a huge, friendly tiger! He’s soon invited in, but it turns out he’s incredibly hungry. One thing leads to another, and before long, this stripy guest is eating everything in sight. Will there be anything left for supper when dad gets home?!
Since first appearing on stage over 15 years ago, The Tiger Who Came to Tea has become one of the West End’s most popular family shows for toddlers and pre-schoolers.
