Coming up in July 2023, families are invited to a live stage adaptation of Winnie the Pooh at the Manchester Opera House, in a show that welcomes back to the stage all of the iconic characters we know and love: Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl and Eeyore, brought to life through incredible life-sized puppetry, imaginative sets and catchy live music, in a brand-new, heartwarming story from Hundred Acre Wood.

Children and adults alike will be enchanted by the whimsical and joyful atmosphere of this production, as it offers a special opportunity to share the timeless magic of Winnie the Pooh with the little ones, while those who grew up with the classic tales get to revisit childhood memories that they have long-since forgotten.

Featuring the Sherman Brothers’ classic Grammy Award-winning music, with further songs by A.A. Milne, the live music will have you clapping, singing along and dancing with delight, alongside the terrific storyline taking you and your family on adventures through the woods with some of the best, most adored characters in history.

So be transported into the magical world of Winnie the Pooh, sticky honey and all. Book your tickets now and get ready another favourite day with your loved ones… “Any day spent with you is my favourite day.”

Winnie the Pooh at Manchester Opera House is presented by Rockefeller Productions, known for the acclaimed The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show and Paddington Gets in a Jam, in partnership with ROYO, and in association with Disney Theatrical Productions.

The show is suitable for all ages at 65 minutes long. All young people under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
