New Mary Poppins London cast recording announced!
Confirmed! A new West End cast recording for Mary Poppins The Musical is definitely happening with a release date set for early November. The show, which had been playing to packed houses night after night at the Prince Edward Theatre until the pandemic struck, is currently still on lockdown with no officially released plans of reopening as of yet. But that's not to say miracles won't happen!

What the West End has to say about theatre returning without social distancing
The 1st of November. That's the date the UK government has given for when theatres could potentially re-open free of social distancing measures. It also happens to be Zizi Strallen's 30th birthday. The Mary Poppins star took to Twitter last night to share her thoughts on Operation Sleeping Beauty: "My birthday is the 1st November. If the government could give me the gift of live theatre back, and my job back as Mary Poppins, I would never need another gift for the rest of my life."
Disney's practically perfect Mary Poppins musical showing at the Prince Edward Theatre is one of many big-name West End shows that have taken their tickets off sale due to uncertainty of when theatres can re-open. Now with UK Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden and Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushing to re-open theatres as swiftly as possible, it appears Zizi Strallen could get her birthday wish very soon. Perhaps even an early birthday present if all goes well.
However, some industry leaders are erring more on the side of cautious optimism. Read what they have to say below.

London Theatre Review: Mary Poppins Practically Perfect in Every Way
The brolly-clutching, super-nanny-of-dreams has flown into London’s Prince Edward Theatre. The classic tale of the Banks family and their encounter with Mary Poppins is brought to life with all the colour, magic, and joy we would expect. Zizi Strallen in the titular role excels, it is not easy to play a role made so famous by the sensational Julie Andrews. Strallen makes the role her own, perfectly portraying the poised, strong, no-nonsense character we know and love. It certainly is not a copycat performance yet there were still welcome hints of the Julie Andrews performance in her delivery, which ignites a spark of childish glee.
