Mary Poppins Broadway Transfer?

Hope this means that it will transfer to the US. Hopefully with Zizi Strallen and Charlie Stemp.

I don't think we will see another production of Mary Poppins on Broadway again for a very long time.

Hopefully the show does transfer to NY with Charlie. Right now I'm going through Stemp starvation.

You want him to Stemp all over you?

Yes. It would be a "Stemp in Time"

It all likely depends what Disney has lined up first. I still think Hercules will be next then a Beauty and the Beast revival.

This Mary poppins relaunch seemed like it was all Cam Macs doing with Disney going along for the ride…

If Cam Mac is willing to front the bill for a Broadway transfer I’m sure it will happen, but I don’t see it happening.

At the west end live performance, Mary Poppins performed on their own when all the other Disney shows were in the same segment. Thought it was strange.

Isn’t “Aida” still doing a European tour prior to a West End transfer then possibly followed by Broadway?

Disney has a lot of shows in the hopper right now. Revivals of AIDA and BEAUTY plus the new productions of HERCULES and PRINCESS BRIDE. Perhaps other things too. After the somewhat disastrous response to FROZEN, I don't see them rushing another show to Broadway until Aladdin closes (Princess Bride and Aida being possible exceptions, especially the latter since it doesn't have the Disney brand as intrinsically attached)."

THE PRINCESS BRIDE ain’t a Disney property.

Based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the original Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins features original music and lyrics by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman with new songs and additional music by the Olivier-winning George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Julian Fellowes wrote the book for the musical. Co-directed by Richard Eye and Matthew Bourne, the latter also co-choreographing, the production has orchestrations by William David Brohn with dance and vocal arrangements by George Stiles, sound design by Paul Gatehouse, lighting by Hugh Vanstone and Natasha Katz, and co-choreography by Stephen Mear. The reimagined set and costume designs are by Bob Crowley. In preparation for its return, producers will follow the U.K. Government’s latest directives for COVID-19 healthy and safety.

Mary Poppins seems to have a pretty good life in regional theaters already across N. America, so I don't see it being brought back to Broadway.

For example, this summer through to October it is playing in rep with Joseph at the Tuacahn in Utah 2 hours from Las Vegas. It's a popular stop for people visiting Zion National Park & Bryce Canyon. I'll probably go up & see one of their shows when I'm down for a week to see Katy Perry at Resort World later in the year. I'm leaning more towards Joseph though just based on the dates I was able to get lodging at Bryce Canyon.

Correct. David Yazbeck is attached to compose the music."

It seems this production has been stuck in Development Hell since COVID hit, which is a real shame - I would love to hear Vizzini do one of Yazbeck's signature Patter Songs...
