Starring Zizi Strallen, returning to play the title role following great acclaim on the recent sell-out international tour, Charlie Stemp as Bert, who recently gave an award-winning performance as Arthur Kipps in Cameron Mackintosh's production of Half A Sixpence, Joseph Millson as Mr Banks, Amy Griffiths as Mrs Banks and the legendary Petula Clark as The Bird Woman.

What is Mary Poppins about?
Set in Edwardian London, the Banks family are suffering from the sort of problems that only a firm hand, kindness and a little magic can solve. The children are running riot, the parents are at their wits end and the household can’t hold onto a good nanny for very long.

Answering Jane and Michael Banks’ advert for the perfect nanny, Mary Poppins blows into the family home on the eastern wind and nothing is the same again. Accompanied by jack-of-all trades Bert, the new nanny uses all her magic to show the children a whole new way of looking at the world.

From falling into chalk drawings, visiting magical talking shops to buy a conversation and dancing under the stars on London’s rooftops, Jane and Michael never know what’s going to happen next or what they are going to learn on the way.

Mary has enough magic for the whole Banks family including the children’s mother who doesn’t live up to society’s expectations and their emotionally repressed father. By the time Mary Poppins flies out of Cherry Tree Lane when the wind changes, everyone she touches is a little braver and a little happier.

What else do I need to know?
Mary Poppins runs for approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes including a 20-minute interval at London’s Prince Edward Theatre.
