Mary Poppins

What is Mary Poppins the Musical about?

Mary Poppins brings the beloved Disney film to the West End stage with a combination of the classic Sherman Brothers songs and new numbers by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. When the Banks family of Cherry Tree Lane needs help, the practically perfect nanny arrives by umbrella to transform the lives of Jane and Michael Banks. With a spoonful of sugar, a bag that holds everything, and a friend called Bert who can dance on rooftops, Mary Poppins teaches the family what truly matters.

Why see Mary Poppins on stage?

The West End production features one of the most spectacular moments in London theatre: Mary Poppins flying out over the audience. This single effect is worth the ticket price alone. Combined with the songs everyone knows (Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, A Spoonful of Sugar, Chim Chim Cher-ee, Let's Go Fly a Kite, Feed the Birds) and lavish production values, the show delivers genuine West End magic. The choreography, particularly Bert's gravity-defying tap dance, is exceptional.
