Jonathan Rockefeller brings a new show to New York featuring the star of page and screen: Paddington. This new fun-filled comedy, Paddington Gets in a Jam, is the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the critically acclaimed Very Hungry Caterpillar Show, and will begin a strictly limited 12-week run from December 13, 2019 through March 6, 2020. In Jonathan Rockefeller’s Paddington Gets in a Jam, Paddington is at home making his favorite marmalade jam, with the help of the Brown’s housekeeper Mrs. Bird, but they run out of sugar. Paddington goes next door to borrow some sugar, where he finds his ever-grumpy neighbor Mr. Curry in a panic, expecting an important visitor. Paddington volunteers to help get the house ready for the visit, but in typical Paddington fashion, his good intentions lead to hysterical chaos.
