Casting announced for Mary Poppin’s magical return to The Bristol Hippodrome
The original World Premiere took place at The Bristol Hippodrome in 2004 and now its coming back home as part of a new tour of the UK and Ireland.
Disney and Cameron Mackintosh’s wonderful multi-award winning production of Mary Poppins, will be back at The Bristol Hippodrome from 29 October – 28 November 2015.
Exciting casting just released will see Zizi Strallen play the magical nanny, with Matt Lee as Bert.
This makes a double Mathew Bourne connection, being the original co-director and choreographer and Zizi is currently playing Lana in his hot ballet thriller The Car Man.
Cameron Mackintosh said: “It’s hard to believe that it is already 11 years since Mary Poppins first landed on the London stage. My goodness……time flies even faster than our beloved Nanny! I’m delighted to be bringing her back to the UK and for the first time to Dublin, after spreading her magic around the world. Since we originally staged the production we have found even more magical ways to stage this timeless tale. I’m also thrilled to have cast yet another of the extraordinarily talented Strallen family in the role of Mary and pair her with one of the most brilliant Berts we have been fortunate to find worldwide. I know Zizi and Matt will be practically perfect in every way and a show-stopping tour de force”.
