Mary Poppins description
About Mary Poppins
Disney and Cameron Mackintosh have collaborated to create this magical multi award-winning musical, a stage version that has been brilliantly adapted from PL Travers' stories and the original movie starring Julie Andrews. The book is by the Oscar-winning screenwriter and man behind Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes. It's jam packed with dazzling show tunes that you'll probably remember from the film, and the special effects are totally amazing including dramatic smoke and fog effects, pyrotechnics, strobe lighting and extremely loud noises. Fabulous!
What's the story of Mary Poppins?
When Jane and Michael, children of the wealthy, busy and horribly uptight Banks family, have to welcome a new nanny into their home they fully expect the worst: someone dull, boring, and strict. But Mary Poppins arrives instead, a magical lady who, together with the youngsters, undertakes a series of amazing adventures together with her entertaining performer friend, Bert. Can the children help their parents become less like their stiff, no-fun selves and more like Mary?
