Producer and co-creator Cameron Mackintosh said: “It is amazingly already 20 years since Mary Poppins first landed onto the stage at the Bristol Hippodrome and started spreading Pamela Travers’ magical stories around the great cities of the world.
“Mary has soared triumphantly around the globe and our recent Australian production discovered two of the most delightful Mary and Berts ever - Stefanie Jones and Jack Chambers - whom I’m thrilled to be bringing to the UK and Ireland to star in this spectacular new national tour.
“They are heading a wonderful cast and I’m sure you will find this the most magical production of Mary Poppins ever, practically perfect in every way!”
Groups can expect original music and lyrics including Jolly Holiday, Step in Time and Feed the Birds along with new songs and additional music and lyrics for the tour.
