About the show: based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the original Walt Disney film, the production opened in October 2019 but had to close in March 2020 because of the Covid pandemic. It reopened in August 2021 and will now play a further six-month extension into Christmas and New Year. 

Cameron Mackintosh said: “When the new revised production of Mary Poppins opened at the end of 2019 with a tremendous cast headed by Zizi Strallen, Charlie Stemp and Petula Clark, the response was even more ecstatic than the original.

“We had always planned to run two years until the physical production was required elsewhere but covid managed to stretch our timetable into 2023 allowing everyone to enjoy an additional supercalifragilistic last Christmas jolly holiday season. Mary Poppins has remained a timeless and timely, uplifting and joyous theatrical experience - but Mary never says goodbye, only au revoir… till we meet again.”
