MARY POPPINS COMING TO HMT
Monday, July 13th, 2009
Mary Poppins, the world’s most magical musical, is coming to HMT in July 2010.
The announcement was made on Monday 13 July, by Victorian Premier John Brumby, with a satellite link to Cameron Mackintosh and Thomas Schumacher in New York. Mary Poppins will be the third major musical Cameron Mackintosh has brought to HMT – the first being the legendary Cats in 1988, and the second just two years ago with Louise Withers, Miss Saigon – marking Melbourne as Australia’s theatre capital, and The Maj as its premiere stage.
Based on the beloved books by Australia’s P.L. Travers and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins is produced by the legendary Cameron Mackintosh and Thomas Schumacher for Disney Theatrical Productions. Since opening in London in 2004 and New York in 2006, Mary Poppins has already been seen by 4.2 million theatregoers worldwide and grossed over $US 333m. It has also earned several Tony and Olivier Award nominations.
