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.I. 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. The show has been created, in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written the book, and the Olivier Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who have composed new songs and additional music and lyrics.
Olivier Award-winning director Richard Lyre leads a dream team of vision and stagecraft bringing to life the story of the Banks family and their magical nanny. Co-direction and choreography is by Olivier Award-winner Matthew Bourne, set and costume design is by Tony Award winner Bob Crowley, co-choreography is by Olivier Award-winner Stephen Mear, and lighting design is by Olivier Award-winner Howard Harrison.
Mary Poppins marks the first collaboration between Disney, producer of acclaimed The Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, and Tarzan, and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary producer of the record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserable. The result is a new musical so extraordinarily enchanting that, like the London critics, you´ll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Audience: Mary Poppins is for elementary school children and older. Children under 4 years of age will not be admitted into the New Amsterdam Theater.
Run time: Two hours 45 minutes with one 15 minute intermission
