a fairy-tale romantic musical / Czech premiere

A performance literally for the whole family – a musical from the renowned Walt Disney, a theatre remake of the famous 1964 film Mary Poppins, which was awarded five Oscars! The film was based on the children’s books by well-known English author P. L. Travers. Its story takes place in London at the end of the 19th century and its heroine is a most original nanny, Mary Poppins, who appears upon the wish of the small Banks children, whose parents don’t pay enough attention to them (as is, unfortunately, also common these days).

This unusual nanny with magic skills fills the children’s world with playfulness, freedom and imagination to such a degree that they can together, in the end, change even the characters of the parents. At the beginning of the 21stcentury, the producer Cameron Mackintosh (from whose oeuvre we displayed the musicals “Oliver!”, “The Witches of Eastwick” and “Les Misérables” for the first time in our country) took this film, added new songs to it and created an exceptionally epic show on its foundation which had several successful seasons in London as well as on Broadway. You can look forward to impressive and powerful scenography by Jaroslav Milfajt, and a series of magic tricks and demanding dance (mainly step dance) numbers with choreography by Denny Ratajský.
