Mary Poppins

For a Practically Perfect time treat the family to Mary Poppins tickets to enjoy the unmistakable nostalgia and unforgettable songs

Practically perfect in every way, the fabulous stage show Mary Poppins returns to the West End at the Prince Edward Theatre, following a box office-smashing UK tour. Zizi Strallen returns as the eponymous nanny, with Charlie Stemp as lovable chimney sweep Bert. Full of classic songs, magical turns and unforgettable characters, this is a heart-stealing delight of a musical.

The production originally opened back in December 2004 and enjoyed a successful three-year run, accruing over 1,250 performances. After playing London and Broadway, it was revised and went on to be staged around the world to sell out houses.

Director Richard Eyre leads the creative team. A CH and CBE decorated director, his most notable theatre productions include Hamlet, Richard III, King Lear and The Night of the Iguana. Co-direction and choreography are courtesy of Matthew Bourne, who has earned an OBE for his 30 years of service to choreography and direction. Co-choreographer Stephen Mear has a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Theatre Choreographer to his name. Set and costume designs are the work of Bob Crowley, while lighting design is courtesy of Natasha Katz. Sound design is by Paul Gatehouse and orchestrations are by William David Brohn.

The show has a book Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downton Abbey, and the soundtrack includes the classic songs by the Sherman Brothers, “Step in Time”, “Feed the Birds” and, of course, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”.

Zizi Strallen most recently starred in Strictly Ballroom at the Piccadilly Theatre and her many other credits include Follies at the National Theatre. She played Mary Poppins in the UK tour of the show too, which broke box office records. Charlie Stemp is perhaps best known for starring as Arthur Kipps in the musical Half a Sixpence. His other credits include Hello, Dolly! on Broadway and Mamma Mia! on tour.

Get ready for the sweet nostalgia of Mary Poppins’ best songs and get lost in the magical story that has been charming audiences for decades.
