ByCarla Oliver

Paddington The Musical has confirmed its Broadway transfer, with performances set to begin at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre in March 2027. The move follows the show’s acclaimed West End run, highlighted by multiple awards and widespread recognition.

Paddington The Musical will open at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on 30 March 2027, with an official opening night scheduled for 18 April. The venue is currently home to Moulin Rouge! the Musical.

The production is based on Michael Bond’s beloved A Bear Called Paddington books and the Paddington films. It features music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, a book by Jessica Swale, and is directed by Luke Sheppard.

The show achieved significant success during its West End premiere, winning seven Olivier Awards, nine WhatsOnStage Awards, and the Critics’ Circle Award for Best New Musical.

This Broadway engagement signals a major milestone for the production, transferring a well-received family musical with strong creative credentials to a US audience.

The musical’s transfer continues the momentum of British theatrical exports making an impact on Broadway, following its critical and commercial acclaim in London.

Details about ticket sales and the full Broadway creative and production team are to be confirmed ahead of the spring 2027 opening at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
