I am SO happy about this and Charlie Stemp is perfect casting. Great to have him back in the West End!

Interesting that he mentions it is a new production. I wonder if they will be making a number of changes.

They added extra dance stuff for Charlie in Hello Dolly that almost stole the show from what I've heard, so of course the more dance the better when he is concerned.

Can a mod change the title of the thread now ?
Delighted with this news! I adore Charlie and I love this show. It's obviously going in because of the new movie but no complaints from me.

I dont think I have ever been happier with any theatre news.
This is the first West End show I ever saw, and to have it back in its original home is perfect.
Also love the casting of Charlie as Bert, that will just be perfection.

Does this mean that the Hello Dolly possible transfer with Charlie is now less likely?

Ahhh good for Charlie. It will be a real stretch and such a different role from Arthur Kipps  |

I suspect they are going to use the tour set but, The Prince Edward was Mary Poppins Original home so they might have some of the original set in storage somewhere that could be used.
Fun Fact! In Hello, Dolly Charlie's partner in crime was Gavin Creel who 10 years ago played Bert with Scarlett Strallen at the Prince Edward!

What wonderful news to wake up to. Loved the tour version, loved Zizi and loved Stemp in ‘Sixpence’. What could possibly go wrong?

Hurrah! Feel completely 'Meh' about Waitress and Come from Away and to an extent 9 to 5, BUT Charlie in Mary Poppins is finally some exciting news. He's such a great actor and Cam Mac can totally be relied upon for a quality production
Hope he'll do another of his live cast recordings....

Very pleased by this, too. I started to watch Mary Poppins (the movie) many years ago and found it so twee and saccharine that I turned it off after 20 mins. So I somehow never got around to watching the stage version wherever it turned up. Last year I gave the movie another go and suddenly liked it quite a bit, so the announced revival was welcome news to begin with and now with this casting I'm really glad I waited this long. I adored Charlie in Half a Sixpence and am glad we got him back here.
