Having been performed at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) for a greater part of a month now (having opened 22 October 2022), you may be wondering how long Mary Poppins will remain in Brisbane before being whisked away to her next stop, at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne. Producer Michael Cassel Group has confirmed that tickets are now on-sale for all Brisbane performances up to and including 15 January 2023, where the production will take its final curtain call before packing down and heading across the country. With Michael Cassel Group’s other musical, Hamilton the Musical, due to bump in immediately after, there is no chance of any further extension to the season.
For more information on how to book tickets for the Brisbane season, or any subsequent season (confirmed to be just Melbourne at this point in time), visit the official Mary Poppins the Musical Australia website. Tickets for the QPAC season are priced between $59.90 and $189.90 inclusive, excluding booking fees. Different price points may be reflective of better or less desirable seat locations, session time/date and other factors.
Want to know more about Mary Poppins the Musical Australia’s 2022-2023 season? Check out my review HERE, and my in-depth Q&A with Jack Chambers (Bert) HERE.
This latest Australian tour of the popular Disney musical stars Stefanie Jones and Jack Chambers in the leading roles of Mary Poppins and Bert respectively, a reunion of sorts for the pair, having first come together in the early 2000s on the Lyric Theatre stage as children in a production of The Sound of Music. They are joined on-stage by Tom Wren as George Banks, Lucy Maunder as Winifred Banks, Hannah Waterman as Mrs Brill, Gareth Isaac as Robertson Ay, Robert Grubb as Chairman and Admiral Boom, Chelsea Plumley as Miss Andrew, Cherine Peck as Mrs Corry, Lisa Sontag as Miss Lark, Kade Hughes as Neleus, Stephen Anderson as the Park Keeper, and Andrew Broadbent as the Policeman. In addition to a stellar ensemble cast, and local children sharing the roles of Jane and Michael Banks, they are also joined by Patti Newton, who is taking on the role of the Bird Woman for the Brisbane season.
