3 chim-chim cheers for 'Poppins'
USA Today
No Stoppin' This 'Poppins'
New York Post
Based on P.I. Travers cherished stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins currently one of Broadway's biggest sensations 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 New York critics, you'll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
