Disney and Cameron Macintosh have announced a final extension to the West End run of Mary Poppins, with its final performance scheduled for 8 January 2023.

The magical story of the world’s favourite Nanny arriving on Cherry Tree Lane has been spectacularly brought to the stage by writer Julian Fellowes with dazzling choreography (Stephen Mear and Matthew Bourne), incredible effects and unforgettable songs, including ‘Jolly Holiday’, ‘Step in Time’, ‘Feed the Birds’ and ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’, alongside new music by the award-winning British team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.

Cameron Mackintosh said: “When the new revised production of Mary Poppins opened at the end of 2019 with a tremendous cast headed by Zizi Strallen, Charlie Stemp and Petula Clark, the response was even more ecstatic than the original. We had always planned to run two years until the physical production was required elsewhere but covid managed to stretch our timetable into 2023 allowing everyone to enjoy an additional supercalifragilistic last Christmas jolly holiday season. Mary Poppins has remained a timeless and timely, uplifting and joyous theatrical experience - but Mary never says goodbye, only au revoir… till we meet again.”

Tickets for the West End extension go on sale at 11am today here.
