Based on P.I. Travers cherished stories
and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary
Poppins features the Sherman brothers
original Academy Award-winning songs. The
show has been created, in collaboration
with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award-winning
screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written
the book, and the Olivier Award-winning
team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe,
who have composed new songs and additional
music and lyrics.
Olivier 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 Olivier Award-winner Matthew Bourne, set and costume design is by Tony Award winner Bob Crowley, co-choreography is by Olivier Award-winner Stephen Mear, and lighting design is by Olivier Award-winner Howard Harrison. Mary Poppins marks the first collaboration between Disney, producer of acclaimed The Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, and Tarzan, and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary producer of the record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserable. The result is a new musical so extraordinarily enchanting that, like the London critics, you'll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! |
