The beloved and iconic fictional character Mary Poppins is flying into east Auckland.

Based on the popular books by PL Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney’s Mary Poppins brings the songs people know and love to the stage with new and familiar characters bringing it to life through a stage production by Harlequin Musical Theatre in April and May.

“When a practically perfect nanny flies into the Banks family home, young Jane and Michael are sent on whimsical adventures with the magical Mary Poppins and her cheery friend Bert all over Edwardian London,” the theatre says.

“But it seems the rest of the Banks family may need a spoonful of sugar in their lives.

“Mary Poppins is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, and breathtaking dance numbers.

“It’s Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious fun for the whole family!”

The theatre is staging a “relaxed performance” of the play on Sunday, May 4.

It’s a special show with a more relaxed performance environment for everyone to enjoy a live theatre experience.

The performance is ideal for people with sensory and communication disorders, people on the autism spectrum, people with a learning difficulty, or young children.

Mary Poppins is on at Harlequin Musical Theatre from April 26 to May 10, with evening shows starting at 7.30pm and weekend matinees starting at 2pm.

Tickets can be bought through iTicket for an extremely limited season.
