Casting Revealed for Paddington on Broadway
Everyone's Favorite Bear is Crossing the Atlantic
The casting for the upcoming Broadway production of Paddington The Musical has been announced.
Playing at the Al Hirschfield Theatre in Spring 2027, it has been announced that James Hameed and Arti Shah will follow the musical from London to New York, as they once again take on the role of Paddington himself. Hameed will be providing the voice of Paddington, while Shah will be taking on the physical on-stage role.
The other casting is as follows: Jessie Mueller as Mrs Brown, Drew Gehling as Mr Brown, Tony Hale as Mr Curry, Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer as Millicent Clyde, Karen Ziemba as Mrs Bird, Zonya Love as Tanya, Kelvin Dukes as Tony, J Quinton Johnson as Grant, Allison Guinn as Lady Sloane, Serena Parrish as Judy Brown and Chip Zien as Mr Gruber.
With original music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher of McFly, a book by Olivier Award-winning playwright Jessica Swale, and direction by Olivier Award nominee Luke Sheppard, Paddington: The Musical made its eagerly awaited debut in 2025 at London's Savoy Theatre. To say Michael Bond's timeless tale of a true national British treasure made history would be an understatement. The production dominated the 2026 Olivier Awards, bringing home seven wins, including Best New Musical, and received universal acclaim for its use of Paddington's huggable puppetry magic! Not only this, but the original cast album soared to number 1 on the UK album charts.
