The hit production is currently running at the Savoy Theatre and has earned an impressive 11 Olivier Award nominations, 15 WhatsOnStage Award nominations and 4 Critics’ Circle Award nominations.
The lively condiment-inspired number is performed in the show by James Hameed as the voice of Paddington, Tom Edden as Mr Curry and the ensemble. With music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher, the song is a standout moment in the production and leads to a joyful audience sing-along.
