The legendary, marmalade-loving bear will be testing out his acting and singing chops on the London stage this November for the world premiere of his own stage show.
After months of rumour, the musical was officially announced in May with McFly's Tom Fletcher on board as composer.
Following the announcement the singer said: “It’s an honour to be entrusted to bring the story of Paddington to life on stage. This unique and special bear is at the very heart of our nation, and I’m aware of the awesome responsibility we all have in taking on his story. It’s beyond exciting, and an absolute dream come true."
The show will be coming to London's Savoy Theatre from 30th November 2025 and joining Fletcher will be director Luke Sheppard and book writer Jessica Swale.
So far the production have kept tight lipped about the details of what Paddington will look like on stage, but Fletcher did admit to crying the first time he saw the bear live, saying: “It’s just magic. Pure theatrical magic.”
StudioCanal – the production company behind the Paddington film franchise – are also involved, with CEO Anna Marsh adding: “We are delighted that this brilliant team will be bringing Paddington to the West End stage with us.
"Their collective gift in bringing Paddington The Musical to life with such heart, humour, wonder and vivid imagination has been a privilege to witness and we simply cannot wait for audiences to discover the magic of this production.
"We are constantly thinking of innovative ways to continue Paddington’s journey while honouring Michael Bond’s legacy and his invitation to ‘please look after this bear’."
Here's everything you need to know about this magical new addition to the West End and how to get tickets today.

What is the story of the Paddington Musical?
Paddington in Peru. StudioCanal
The on-stage version will closely follow Michael Bond's original book and the 2014 movie; a young bear leaves the shores of Peru and arrives at Paddington station wearing the simple note: "Please look after this bear."
After a chance encounter, he finds a home with the Brown family at their beautiful house in Windsor Gardens. But, as the synopsis reads "London isn’t all cream teas and friendly faces – and even the happiest families have their cracks beneath the surface. So when Paddington’s life is suddenly in peril, the Browns must decide just how far they’re willing to go – and what they’re willing to risk – to give this special bear a home."
