For family audiences, Paddington the Musical promises charm and spectacle, with Luke Shepherd directing and songs by McFly’s Tom Fletcher. It’s one of the biggest home-grown musicals in years.

Meanwhile, The Hunger Games: On Stage finally arrives after years in development, adapted by Conor McPherson and directed by Matthew Dunster. Expect an ambitious reimagining of Suzanne Collins’s dystopian world.

David Harewood returns to Shakespeare’s Othello, directed by Tom Morris, while End, the final part of David Eldridge’s acclaimed relationship trilogy, stars Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves. Eldridge also brings The Spy Who Came in from the Cold to the West End, following its acclaimed Chichester premiere.

On the bolder side, Porn Play by Sophia Chetin-Leuner dives into addiction and desire, with Ambika Mod leading under Josie Rourke’s direction. For something more festive, the Lyric Hammersmith’s Jack and the Beanstalk returns with its trademark wit and warmth.
