It has been announced today that the West End productions of Mary Poppins and The Phantom of the Opera will temporarily be reducing their weekly schedule to six performances a week, in response to the rising case numbers of the Omicron variant.

Both productions usually perform eight shows a week, however, Phantom will be halting their Monday evening performances from 10-31 January and Thursday matinee performances from 13 January-10 February; whilst Mary Poppins will cancel Monday evening and Thursday matinee shows from 10 January-10 February.

The decision has been taken due to dwindling audience numbers, a larger number of people working from home and the ongoing cast/crew absences due to having to self isolate.

Affected bookers will be offered the chance to exchange their tickets, receive a credit voucher or receive a refund.
