London for Christmas

The nation's favourite magical teddy bear returns to The West End this Christmas, to take centre stage in a charming winter treat packed full of giggles. The all new Sooty Christmas Show, featuring TV host Richard Cadell and the inexhaustible trio of Sooty, Sweep and Soo, starts on December 13th at the Garrick Theatre in London.

The show, which is Sooty's first in 13 years, will also feature the world's greatest ringmaster, Norman Barrett and his performing budgies, alongside Father Christmas and Harry the Robot. Iconic Sooty Show characters Butch the bull dog and Ramsbottom the snake-both will also be joining the ensemble, as Carol singers.

The show opens as Sooty, Sweep, Soo and Richard are getting ready for their Christmas Party. Sooty is having a few problems rehearsing his magic show, while Sweep's Christmas cake is a recipe for disaster. Poor little Soo just can't decide which dress to wear. Luckily Uncle Norman drops by to lend a hand assisted by his amazing troupe of performing budgies! Plus Father Christmas flies in to deliver a present for every child in the theatre to take home.

The original Sooty theatre show, which ran during the 70s and 80s, was hosted by Harry Corbett and last appeared in the West End in 1998. On its return this festive favourite is guaranteed to delight Sooty fans of all ages.

Sooty's current right hand man Richard Cadell states; "The Sooty theatre show was an institution during the 70s / 80s and we are hoping that the children of those eras will bring their children along to enjoy the next instalment of Sooty in the West End."
