Paddington Film in Concert
Enjoy the beloved film with a live orchestra. Experience Paddington this Easter as you’ve never seen it before! The perfect holiday treat for all the family.
Marmalade sandwiches at the ready! Watch the 2014 film on a giant HD screen, as the London Concert Orchestra plays Nick Urata’s calypso-infused score live.
Based on Michael Bond’s much-loved books, cherished by families since 1958, the charming story follows the misadventures of a young bear from Peru who travels to London in search of a home.
Taken in by the Brown family, who finds him lost and alone in Paddington Station, things are looking up for this rarest of bears. Until that is, he catches the eye of an ambitious museum taxidermist…
Boasting an all-star ensemble cast including Hugh Bonneville, Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman, with Ben Whishaw and Imelda Staunton as the respective voices of Paddington and Aunt Lucy, Paddington was a beloved award-winning critically acclaimed box office hit on its release in the UK.
It’s as rare as the bear himself to find a film that delights across generations – with bags of wit, fun and feel-good moments for kids, parents and grandparents alike. And as an introduction to live orchestral music, it’s an experience young super-fans will never forget.
STUDIOCANAL and Raymond Gubbay Limited present Paddington in Concert.
