Mary Poppins
Civic Theatre, Auckland, October 2020
First musical to hit The Civic since lockdown
Opens 16 October for strictly limited season
It’s the spoonful of sugar we all need right now! We are delighted to announce that MARY POPPINS, the much-loved Broadway musical, is returning to Auckland this October in a glorious new New Zealand production.
The world’s favourite nanny had been due to fly into Auckland in April but found herself in isolation like the rest of us. Being the true gale-force that she is, she wouldn’t be stopped and is soldiering on to bring magic to the stage once again. “Everything is possible, even the impossible!” says Mary.
The season, featuring a dazzling, all-New Zealand cast, will open on 2 October for a strictly limited season. Tickets on sale on 8th July via Ticketmaster. So “head up, and feet beneath you”, book your tickets today. “Spit spot”!
The magical story of the world's favourite Nanny is triumphantly and spectacularly brought to the stage with dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs.
The stage production of MARY POPPINS is brilliantly adapted from the wonderful stories of P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, featuring dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs. And yes, Mary will fly!
It is co-created by Cameron Mackintosh and has a book by Oscar-winning screenwriter and Downton Abbey creator, Julian Fellowes. With a timeless score by Richard M Sherman and Robert B Sherman including the classic songs; Jolly Holiday, Step in Time, Supercalifragilisticexpialidoc
Mary Poppins helps us learn to take our medicine with a spoonful of sugar, find the silver lining in every situation, and realize that sometimes we should just use the winds of change to go fly a kite.
She brings order to the Banks household at 17 Cherry Tree Lane, takes Jane and Michael out on magical adventures, and dispenses sage advice, such as, "anything can happen if you let it".
