Bookings in the next few months are terrible. I’ve heard rumours of a Broadway transfer into the PE and I’m not surprised

I don’t imagine anyone knows who he is. Maybe they will manage to get through to the end of the current booking period and then send it out on tour. I’d imagine it would do great business on the road |

Bookings in the next few months are terrible. I’ve heard rumours of a Broadway transfer into the PE and I’m not surprised I just had this cold shudder come across me, that it could be MJ, please NO. The only worthy shows that are open now and could come across the pond is The Music Man and Beetlejuice. |

There’s a possibility that King George may become friends with Prince Edward, and that Oliver! may find himself in the room where it happens...

Any updates on what's happening with Poppins or what's going in to replace it? I've heard Cameron Mackintosh is either taking Hamilton or Poppins on tour next year???

Well at least we had three years of MJ-free West End

Sorry to be slow, but ‘MJ’? Meaning Michael Jackson? Or something I’m perhaps unfamiliar with that has those initials?
Thanks! 😳

Mary Poppins has extended its West End run until 18th December.

I'm sure it will extend again over Christmas and New year. Seems highly unlikely they would close a family musical before the peak festive period. Also not really enough time to get a new show in before Christmas season

I imagine if they're planning on closing, it'll either be January or February.

I think I´m in the minority here, but I thought Zizi Strallen was wonderful. She truly did the role her own, which is a very rare thing in a Disney show. To each their own, I guess.

I think Zizi Strallen is a good performer, in that she "performs" the role of Mary Poppins - sings, dances etc. I just think the character as she plays it is a bit too cartoonish and lacks the gravitas and knowing wisdom that Mary has.

Also find the way she sings vowels in the high register distractingly nasally. Not sure how to describe it but she suddenly jumps into the ceiling of her mouth/naval cavity or something.
Practically pEEERfect.
Not an expert of vocals if anyone could clarify

Very sad, but I guess for a revivals, and in the times we’ve lived through since it opened in autumn 2019, it’s done pretty well. I absolutely loved it when I saw opening night in November that year.
And with it closing on 8th Jan at least they’ll hopefully get some fairly full houses over the Christmas period.
So what next for the Prince Edward? Is Oliver! still on the cards?

It's a shame but the run has been blighted by COVID. I wish it had been as good as the original production as then I'd have been tempted to go more.
