Mary Poppins has arrived at Broadway's magnificent New Amsterdam Theatre in a new musical so extraordinarily enchanting that, like critics, you'll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Based on P.I. Travers' cherished stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, MARY POPPINS, currently one of London's biggest sensations, features the Sherman brothers' original Academy AwardŽ-winning songs. In collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, the show has been created by Academy AwardŽ-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written the book, and the OlivierŽ Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who have composed new songs and additional music and lyrics.
OlivierŽ Award-winning director Richard Lyre leads a dream team of vision and stagecraft, bringing to life the story of the Banks family and their magical nanny. Co-direction and choreography is by OlivierŽ Award-winner Matthew Bourne, set and costume design is by Tony AwardŽ winner Bob Crowley, co-choreography is by OlivierŽ Award-winner Stephen Mear, and lighting design is by OlivierŽ Award-winner Howard Harrison.
MARY POPPINS marks the first collaboration between Disney, producer of such acclaimed productions as THE LION KING, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and TARZAN, and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary producer of record-breaking shows THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, CATS and LES MISERABLES.
