Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s eagerly anticipated Australian production of MARY POPPINSpremiered Thursday evening, July 29 at Her Majesty’s Theatre. The Melbourne engagement is a homecoming for the beloved character. MARY POPPINS was born in the pen of author P.L. Travers, who herself was born in Maryborough, Queensland, and was an actor and journalist in Sydney before moving to London. The first Mary Poppins book was published in 1934 and the enduring story of the ‘practically perfect nanny’ has enchanted readers ever since.
