Her carpet bag is packed, her umbrella is unfurled, and
come the fall, Mary Poppins takes up residence at Broadway's
magnificent New Amsterdam Theatre.
Based
on P.L. Travers' cherished stories and the classic 1964
Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins - currently one of London's
biggest sensations - features the Sherman brothers' original
Academy Award-winning songs, and Oliver Award-winning director
Richard Eyre leads a dream team of vision and stagecraft,
bringing to life the story of the Banks family and their
magical nanny.
Mary Poppins marks the first collaboration between Disney,
producer of the acclaimed The Lion King, Beauty and the
Beast, and Tarzan®, and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary
producer of the record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera,
Cats and Les Miserables. The result is a new musical so
extraordinarily enchanting that you'll have just one word
for it: "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
