Mary Poppins

Prince Edward Theatre
Thursday 14/6/07 – 2.30pm

Mary Poppins is a phenomenon, as a series of books by P.L. Travers and most famously as a film character portrayed by Julie Andrews. The premise is relatively simple; Jane and Michael Banks love causing trouble for their nannies. However, when the wind changes, Mary Poppins appears as if out of nowhere, and proceeds to show Michael and Jane that there is more to life than they can see with their eyes.

What’s good?
With incredible sets and truly brilliant choreography from Matthew Bourne, it is actually hard to find anything with Mary Poppins that isn’t like the character’s description, “Practically perfect in every way"

Overall
Mary Poppins truly is a magical tale that hasn’t lost any of it’s brilliance after all of these years, a real treat for all the family. Mary Poppins is very definitely one of the best shows on in the West End. When it closes next summer, it will be a real loss to the world of theatre, lets just hope the wind changes and she returns once more.
