All the UK Needs is a Spoonful of Sugar

The question is will she sail in with her famous umbrella and will she sing a duet with a dusty chimney sweep throughout all of the UK?  It has recently been announced that the lovable musical Mary Poppins will end its run in London’s Prince Edward Theatre on January 12, 2008, but that doesn’t mean that the music will stop for good.  In fact the award winning musical will then kick off its much anticipated UK tour in June of next year.  Some of the cities that are rumored to be hosting this magical production are: Plymouth, Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff.  The casting for the touring performance will be announced soon.

This is a show that has been loved by children and their families for years now and it seems that many of us know all of the words to the unforgettable lyrics of its popular songs.  Julie Andrews will perhaps be remembered as the original Mary, but many other talented actresses have followed her lead and filled the shoes of Miss Poppins quite well.  Treat yourself to a night at the theatre when Mary Poppins begins its tour.  Perhaps the best medicine is a spoonful of sugar and a pair of Mary Poppins tickets.
