“WHEN THE WORLD TURNS UPSIDE DOWN, THE BEST THING TO DO IS TURN RIGHT ALONG WITH IT.” – MARY POPPINS

The stage production of MARY POPPINS is brilliantly adapted from the wonderful stories of P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, featuring dazzling choreography, incredible effects, and unforgettable songs. And yes, Mary will fly!

It is co-created by Cameron Mackintosh, with a book by Academy Award-winning screenwriter and Downton Abbey creator, Julian Fellowes. The timeless score by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman includes the classic songs ‘Jolly Holiday’, ‘Step in Time’, ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ and ‘Feed the Birds’, and new songs and additional music and lyrics including ‘Practically Perfect’, by the Olivier Award-winning British team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.

Mary Poppins helps us learn to take our medicine with a spoonful of sugar, find the silver lining in every situation, and realise that sometimes we should just use the winds of change to go fly a kite.

She brings order to the Banks’ household at 17 Cherry Tree Lane, takes Jane and Michael out on magical adventures, and dispenses sage advice, such as, "anything can happen if you let it".
