Dateline: 21st December, 2003 West End Mary Poppins Confirmed It has now been confrmed, as we reported in October, that the stage version of Mary Poppins will open at the Prince Edward on 15th December, 2004. The Wwest End opening will be preceded by a run at the Bristol Hippodrome, where it will open on 18th September (previews from 15th). The Bristol run will end on 6th November. The production will be directed by Sir Richard Eyre, with choreography by Matthew Bourne, design by Bob Crowley, book by Julian Fellowes and additional music (supplementing the original film score by Robert and Richard Sherman) by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. No casting has yet been announced, but it is widely assumed that Laura-Michelle Kelly will play the title role and the US theatre newspaper Variety reports that Alex Jennings and Janie Dee have been offered the roles of Mr and Mrs Banks. Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
