“Paddington the Musical” is sticking around London a little longer. The hit stage adaptation of Michael Bond’s beloved children’s books has extended its West End run through June 25, 2028, as the production approaches its first anniversary at the Savoy Theatre.

The extension comes following a record-tying seven wins at the 2026 Olivier Awards, including best new musical, best director for Luke Sheppard and best actor in a musical for James Hameed and Arti Shah, who jointly portrayed the titular bear. The production also took home nine WhatsOnStage Awards, tying the record for the most wins in the ceremony’s history, as well as the Critics’ Circle Award for best new musical.
