I already had high expectations, but even those were exceeded. The actors and actresses, the music, the set design. You can tell that so much love went into creating this musical; I laughed, I cried, and I rediscovered that kindness and love take you further than hate.

In no particular order, The opening sequence, Mrs Bird's dance Mar-mar-mar-marmalade All the way to the very last song. (Actually, all the way through - I was mesmerized). What a show: uplifting, tear inducing, (both sad and happy), a totally thrilling theatre experience. Great venue with surprising room, super sets, wonderful scene changes, terrific costumes, very accessible music, thrilling choreography, and then there's the cast. Everybody had an amazing WOW factor. Just in case you didn't get it - I loved it!!! I'd up load my favourite photo, but I didn't take any - I didn't think you were allowed to.

I cheered and everyone cheered. I gasped and everyone gasped. Paddington was brilliant, heart-warming and thoughtful. The lyrics were witty and engaging. (Hard stare!). I did not want it to end. It was long but I was never waiting for the end - instead sad it had to end. Loved it!
