Mary Poppins: The Broadway Musical
Theatre Royal, 26 January - 10 February 2018
The excitement of Broadway returned to the Theatre Royal in January 2018 with Hobart’s community theatre premiere of the worldwide musical theatre phenomenon – Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s MARY POPPINS: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL. Based on the children’s books by P.L. Travers and the much-loved 1964 Disney film, this highly-acclaimed musical introduced audiences to the charming and intriguing nanny Mary Poppins – who describes herself as “practically perfect in every way” – when she enters the lives of the Banks family and changes their world forever.
Presented by The Show Company Tasmania.
