Mary Poppins is coming to Liverpool this January

The magical story of Mary Poppins will be flying over to Liverpool Empire Theatre later this month.

Based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film, the story of the world’s favourite nanny arriving on Cherry Tree Lane is even more magical than ever before featuring dazzling choreography, incredible effects and unforgettable songs!

Acclaimed Australian stars Stefanie Jones and Jack Chambers reprise their roles as Mary Poppins and Bert, having both received critical acclaim and nightly standing ovations for their performances in the past. They will be joined by the international recording artist and actress Lyn Paul, as Bird Woman. Lyn made her debut in the West End taking the lead role of Mrs Johnston in Willy Russell’s hit Merseyside-based musical Blood Brothers and has been voted the definitive Mrs Johnston and reprised the role regularly over 23 years both on tour and reguarly her in Liverpool. Her other stage credits include Calendar Girls, Cabaret, and Taboo. On screen Lyn has appeared in ITV’s Emmerdale and BBC’s Holby City.

Since its premiere at the Bristol Hippodrome in 2004, the stage adaptation of Mary Poppins has gone on to record-breaking productions around the world, gaining over 50 major international awards, including two Olivier Awards and one Tony Award. Over 15 million people have witnessed the magic worldwide with the production having been translated into 13 languages. The timeless score includes the classic songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman; Jolly Holiday, Step in Time, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and Feed the Birds with new songs and additional music and lyrics by the Olivier award-winning British team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.

Mary Poppins will be at Liverpool Empire Theatre from Wednesday the 14th to Saturday the 31st of January.
