Mary Poppins Information:
Mary Poppins is an award winning Disney Theatrical musical based on the similarly titled series of children's books and hit film. The West End production opened in December 2004 and received two Olivier Awards, one for Best Actress in a Musical and the other for Best Theatre Choreography. The musical features the film's music and lyrics by the Academy Award winning Sherman Brothers, along with additional music and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. The book was written by Julian Fellowes. The musical was directed by Richard Eyre and co directed by Matthew Bourne, who also acted as co choreographer with Stephen Mear. A Broadway production with a near-identical creative team opened in November 2006, with only minor changes from the West End version.
Due to the success of the West End production, the musical was transferred to Broadway, where it debuted on November 16, 2006 at the New Amsterdam Theatre after previews from October 14. Gavin Lee, who had originated the role of Bert in the West End production, reprised his role in the Broadway production. Broadway performer Ashley Brown was brought on board to play the title role. The Broadway version received great reviews. Many critics have praised the show for its technical merits.
