Paddington

The last thing I saw there was “Paddington in Peru.”

McFly star Tom Fletcher has said he felt "overwhelming excitement" working on the new Paddington stage musical, which producers have confirmed will open in November.

The singer-songwriter said he hoped the music and lyrics he has written for the show would "do Paddington proud", adding that the musical numbers are "my favourite songs I've ever written".

The show will open at the Savoy Theatre in the West End on 1 November, and follow Paddington as he arrives from Peru seeking a new home in London.

"There is something so magical about seeing Paddington step out on to the stage, and seeing him... I was about to say in the flesh, but I guess in the fur is more accurate," he joked.
