The Spectacular Mary Poppins Musical Is Coming To Melbourne This Summer

It’s a great time for musicals and live theatre in Melbourne. With Hamilton completely dominating the theatre scene currently and The Phantom of the Opera set to make waves later this year, Melbourne is having a pretty swell time. But to make things even more exciting, it has been confirmed that everyone’s favourite nanny will be making her way to Her Majesty’s Theatre from January 29, 2023. The musical will be co-created and produced by Cameron Mackintosh, who is also behind the dazzling new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of The Opera in Sydney.
