Kid behind me started crying partway through the villain's song 😅

Took a trip yesterday to see this little gem. Could have lost the Geographer's Guild song if I'm honest but otherwise this bear has been incredibly well looked after. Well done all! (Yes, I cheered. Yes, I cried. Yes, I'm 48.) #paddingtonmusical #savoytheatre

Brilliantly played by the team at this new musical to release images of the beloved titular character just as they do their first preview. Paddington is Paddington-ing beautifully. I have got something in my eye. #Paddington #PaddingtonMusical
