Laura Michelle Kelly, who was recently seen on Broadway alongside Alfred Molina in the revival of Fiddler on the Roof, plays the unique nanny in the Cameron Mackintosh produced musical extravaganza. Richard Eyre steers the production, with Tony-winner Matthew Bourne (Swan Lake) serving as co-director and choreographer.
The musical, based on the books by Pamela Travers and the 1964 Disney film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke, concerns a magical nanny who brings joy (and a bit of good-natured mayhem) to the lives of the Banks family.
Mary Poppins also features co-choreography by Stephen Mear, lighting by Howard Harrison, set and costume design by Bob Crowley and sound design by Andrew Bruce. Gavin Lee, Charlotte Spencer, Harry Stott, Linzi Hately, David Haig and Rosemary Ashe co-star.
