The hit musical adaptation Mary Poppins posted closure notices at the Prince Edward Theatre for January 2008 and will head out on an international tour that will see it playing in the UK until 2009.
Mary Poppins made over 1000 performances at the Prince Edward and will finish on January 12 2008 before Mary's umbrella takes her on to commence the tour at Theatre Royal Plymouth from June 4 to July 5.

The musical is based on the children's books by PL Travers and the 1964 Disney film starring Julie Andrews. Mary Poppins tells the story of the Banks children and their nanny with a difference and Mary Poppins contains many of the original songs from the film including Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, A Spoonful of Sugar and Chim Chim Cheree along with new songs written especially for the musical including Practically Perfect. This family favourite will have you singing all they way home.
