Multi award-winning musical Mary Poppins will fly into Palace Theatre, Manchester

Multi award-winning musical Mary Poppins is heading for the north-west.

The Disney and Cameron Mackintosh production lands at the Palace Theatre, Manchester, from January 20 to March 5. Tickets are now on sale.

Cameron Mackintosh said, “It’s hard to believe that it is already 11 years since Mary Poppins first landed on the London stage. My goodness……time flies even faster than our beloved Nanny! I’m delighted to be bringing her back to the UK after spreading her magic around the world.

“Since we originally staged the production we have found even more magical ways to stage this timeless tale and I’m sure you will find our new Mary practically perfect in every way”.

The magical story of the world’s favourite Nanny arriving on Cherry Tree Lane has been triumphantly and spectacularly brought to the stage with dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs. The stage version of Mary Poppins is adapted from the stories by PL Travers and the beloved Walt Disney film.

The stage production of Mary Poppins is co-created by Cameron Mackintosh and has a book by Oscar-winning screenwriter and Downton Abbey creator, Julian Fellowes.
