The Wind in the Willows in London
Now and again there's a completely unmissable new musical in the West End. Occasionally it's a family show. This is one of the finest, an opportunity to experience Kenneth Grahame's beautiful book The Wind in the Willows on stage, in the flesh, with stunning music, stage sets and costumes your eyes just won't believe.
Wind in the Willows – The story
Sit back, relax and enjoy a story that has captivated millions since it first hit the bookshelves in 1908. Apart from a few subtle changes including the addition of a prominent female character – something missing from the original book – the tale remains the same.
You'll adore Toad's crazy obsessions and his ultimate great escape, the loss of the baby otter and his safe return thanks to the pagan god Pan. You'll love Mole's delightful little home, warm and cheery and blessed, and sensible Ratty's river adventures. Badger's wonderfully teacher-like common sense attitude takes the biscuit. And the horrible, violent and warlike creatures who live in the Wild Wood, who have luxurious Toad Hall in their sights, are there too. It's all laid out for you creatively and skilfully, the very best in musical storytelling.
There's a super book available, written by Julian Fellowes. The tunes and lyrics are written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. The Director is Rachel Kavanaugh, Peter McKintosh is the set and costume designer, Howard Harrison creates the lighting design, Pippa Ailion is the Casting Director and the musical is produced by Jamie Hendry Productions.
In the capital after a whirlwind tour of several respected theatres across Britain, Wind in the Willows is playing in the West End from June 2017. If you love nothing better than a feel-good rampage of a musical studded with charming characters and set to music you'll be singing for weeks, this one's for you. It's a musical for the whole family.
Bring your kids, your granny and granddad, uncles, aunties, nieces and nephews. It's the perfect treat, just in time for the festive season, and the anticipation is already gathering.

Excellent RattyThe acting from Ratty and the lady who played the horse amongst other characters was excellent. Well worth watching. Too long for younger children / saw a few families leave during the interval with tired little ones - but it was the evening show.

Amazing!! A must see!!!Everything about this show is incredible - the cast, music, sets and beautiful story, all done with great humour in a beautiful theatre. Friends accompanied us who do not like musicals as a rule but were blown away. I would say that although we were so immersed in the show we did not notice the time and could have watched it for hours, it probably is a bit too long for children under 5, but if your little one already loves the wind in the willows story I doubt they would mind :) We enjoyed it so much that we are going to try and book to go again, definitely the best musical we have ever seen, we didn't want to leave!

Fantastic show! We came with 6 adults and 10 children ages 7-3. They were a little lost at times as they can't always follow the story through the songs. We would have loved to see more children in this production. I believe there were only 2.... it's a wonderful way to inspire all the little ones in the audience. Overall we thought it was a great show.

Excellent showThe show was great good fun - the characterisation of the animals was brilliantly done, with great costumes and choreography. The music was tuneful and drew in the younger members of the audience very quickly. The singing performances were all of a very high standard. We greatly enjoyed the show. The only drawback was the use of intense, blinding green spotlights trained on the audience before the show started and at the interval.

Review: WIND IN THE WILLOWS at The London Palladium
by Phil Willmott | Thursday, July 6 2017, 13:24
You may have read some sniffy reviews for The Wind in the Willows, the lavish new family musical currently playing at the London Palladium.
Ignore them; having read my colleague Steven Markwick’s report for this site from the preview performances and attended the press night myself I can promise you a great night out for you and your young friends and relations.

Review: THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS A Preview Performance at The London Palladium
by Steve Markwick | Monday, June 26 2017, 13:54
The Wind in the Willows is given the big musical treatment by the team behind the re-working of Mary Poppins and most recently Half A Sixpence - lyricist Anthony Drewe, composer George Stiles and book writer Julian Fellowes. Going right back to their early days with Just So, through the Olivier-winning Honk! and last year’s Three Little Pigs, there’s something about anthropomorphic animal stories that get Stiles & Drewe’s creative juices flowing and in particular give Anthony Drewe’s rhyming muscles a work out. Full of terrific, freshly-minted lyrics that are a joy to hear (and that can’t always be said for every ear-splitting West End show) we get “foxes” rhymed with “equinoxes”, “prickles” and “vehicles” (as a family of hedgehogs nervously wait to cross a busy road) and more rhymes for Toad then have probably ever been counted.

Is Wind in the Willows musical set for the West End?
by Oliver Mitford | Monday, October 5 2015, 12:48
Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellows and musical theatre legends George Stiles and Anthony Drewe have been hard at work over the past year on a new musical adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s much-loved classic tale of The Wind in the Willows.
The musical is due to open at Plymouth Theatre Royal in October 2016 and rumour has it that it will make its way into London’s West End soon after.
