MARY POPPINS London closing show | final West End performance curtain call at the Prince Edward

[@hirningreenleave]

The moment in Step in Time when Charlie was hanging on the wall and he cried “I love my job” that really got me omgggg! I feel bert and charlie in the same time

[@BookLoverKerrie]

Yesterday was my last day working Front of House at Mary Poppins. Me and my colleagues in the Dress Circle were all in tears when Mary said goodbye to Bert for the last time and sang her last song. I own almost all of the merchandise from the show, my favourite being the bear and the hoodie. I'm really sad going from seeing Mary Poppins (6 out of 8 shows a week) to none at all and working at another theatre in the West End. The cast are amazing and the loveliest people you could ever want to meet. I will always love Zizi Strallen, Charlie Stemp, Petula Clark, Jack North, Robbie McMillan and the rest of the cast.

Awww just cried watching that curtain call! Saw this show 9 times in about 2 years. Very special place in my heart x

[@morzee94]

That show was so so good. For me it represented the best of the traditional west end musical. Amazing job by everyone involved, I hope they’re all proud.

[@charlottewoodley176]

Makes me cry every time I watch the curtain call. The amount of times I've walked past the Prince Edward theatre and said I want to see Mary poppins I can't even count. I saw it when I was younger and it was on tour in the Bristol hipperdrome. But I don't think anything compares to the costumes and everything the new production offers. Really regret not seeing it in its final month on stage. Thanks for uploading this.

[@micheleforlano667]

This show was incredible, very good staff, actors and direction a show with me flakes!😍😍

[@hnc52]

I was fotunate to make my first trip to London in November and saw Mary Poppins on November 14. It was a special night, as it was Petula Clark's 90th birthday! There was a huge tribute and celebration of Petula at the curtain calls, led by Cameron Mackintosh. Doing 8 shows a week at 90 is pretty amazing. The entire production was wonderful. I am in love with Zizi and Charlie, also...but Petula Clark at 90...amazing! Thanks for posting this.

[@williamfairchild7439]

At that event there was a showing of some of the footage from the filmed performance of Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends which was shown on BBC Two on Saturday 31st December 2022

[@philthomsons]

Mickey Jo you and the boys will be pleased that Mary Poppins is flying here to packed houses and super enthusiastic audiences here in Melbourne at Her Majesty's. Every moment of the show is special, with wonderful old nostalgic songs from you my youth plus the the new emotional songs in the current score. The show is seamless with choreography that is superb and top class, the special effects and stage production is 'next level' and work like clockwork with things coming & going, characters and objects appearing out of all sorts of places, and then the singers, actors and musos are just so brilliant and put 110% into their performances. The final scenes, fly off and finale are just so special and emotional and also happy & singalong times. Saw it last week for the first time and now looking forward to going back twice next week. A real feast for the senses and emotions !!!

[@rohangreenld]

Such a special performance to be at. I was in the circle and seeing the emotion on Zizi's face on her final flight completely finshed me off.

[@courdeleon]

So fun to see Petula Clark dancing away at 90 years old! I bet it was a great show, Someday I would love to see Charlie Stemp in a show, what a talent!

[@williamgardiner2010]

Well he opens in the West End transfer of Crazy for You that played at Chichester last summer.

[@MickeyJoTheatre]

She's inspiring! It was fantastic, and Charlie is a phenomenal talent, Crazy for You is him at his best I think, which is coming to London this summer.

[@fallonturner7441]

Charlie is amazing - so charismatic and energetic. I’m lucky to live near Chichester so I first saw him in Half a Sixpence, saw him in London in Mary Poppins and again in Chi in Crazy for you, which was an incredible show and is transferring to the west end this year. Highly recommend going to see it!

[@courdeleon]

@@fallonturner7441 His charming personality reminds me of Tommy Steele. I saw Tommy in Half a Sixpence and have loved him ever since!

[@auroraspiderwoman5886]

A big thanks for allowing me (in NYC) to be there with you and see the final curtain call. Saw the first London production back in 2004, then Broadway, then this revival when it was new in 2019. And so good to see it close with Zizi, Charlie, and Petula still there.

[@lizzielane1979]

What a magical closing show. That goodbye Bert scene when Zizi’s voice broke- ARGH 😭💔 I was lucky enough to meet Zizi and Charlie at the stage door too, and they were absolute angels! Thanks for the vlog Mickey 🥰

[@daniellebelisle2446]

They slayed that curtain call finale! Also: Mary Poppins was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. So many joyful memories.

[@thomasbaia7293]

Marry popins was also the first Broadway show I saw a little over a decade ago when I was six years old

[@HeartandSeoul23]

It was the first show that I got to see on Broadway as well with my mom and dad for Mother’s Day when I was 7. Then I got to do the show as my senior production when I was in high school.

[@BeaufortRyan]

It was also the first broadway show I saw.

[@CatalynRose]

I saw this 4 days before Christmas and I loved it. When Mary Poppins flew over the audience, she looked in my eyes and I felt so special. My sister said she nearly cried at the step in time tap dance

[@MrKDHay]

What a great performance it was for the closing. So glad I was there. The audience were so enthusiastic from the very start

[@bramford7e]

Thank you for documenting the final night of Mary Poppins with this amazing cast. I became emotional watching this. I saw this show a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely magical.

[@jeniboyns]

I need to stop watching these show closing videos right before work because it always messes my eyes up! It looked like a wonderful send off

[@edstrat69]

Thank you for this! Being a long time fan of Petula I was so touched by this. We may not have her on the theater stage anymore! Wish I could have been there! 💓💓

[@jacquelinedalmas5938]

The show was PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!!! IT WAS A JOLLY HOLIDAY WITH MARY SEEING THE MUSICAL LAST NOVEMBER!!

[@TheUltraDi]

Saw it in Dubai before it came to London. It was fantastic......................

[@williamfairchild7439]

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing the closing show/final West End performance of Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre in London, I saw it on Saturday 14th December 2019 in a matinee afternoon performance with Zizi Strallen, Charlie Stemp and Petula Clark and it was amazing

[@scottbell2533]

I seen Mary Poppins the musical in 2019 it was best show i ever seen

[@jeffreyweitzman6463]

This is why London's theatreland should never be allowed to fail....there was something on the news few weeks back about how from an effect of possible falling attendances as result of the cost of living crisis London's theatres could be at threat. That must never, be allowed to happen! Those great places of spectacular musical entertainment obviously including the Prince Edward all have so much heritage and history behind them and are as much as the beating identity and heartbeat of London as Big Ben itself, via whatever means and however - they must always be made secure. You lose any of those famous names of theatre in our capital, you lose something that is irreplaceable.

[@nyckmo9047]

Thank you for sharing this. As a former performer of the US cast, this brought back all the feels!

[@verityw]

Thank you so much for filming this! I’ve just watched the final bows with my mum. We saw three shows in this run and loved every single one of them. Gutted we couldn’t be at the final show, it sounds like it was absolutely incredible!

[@chicago232]

The joy that you and your mates have for this experience was infectious and greatly appreciated. Can’t wait for your trip to NYC!

[@hunterhuiet2785]

What an energetic curtain call! Happy Trails Mary Poppins!

[@emilycox3623]

A very emotional show 🥺broken when Mary and Bert said goodbye 😢

[@clareturfrey3748]

So looking forward to Mary Poppins opening here in Bristol on the 4th November. I have only seen the film version of Mary Poppins.

[@501057able]

Thank you for posting..!

[@loredosol]

Thanks for sharing. Another great show gone. Seen it twice and loved it. Zizi is practical perfect in the role. So hope the wind changes and it returns someday (back in the west end or on tour) or they filmed a proshot of the show (for disney+?) that we can see.

[@williamstollery8326]

I saw the show a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it, it's so nice to be a part of its closing night even by proxy - thanks for bringing us along 😊

[@bellfamily8887]

I seen Mary Poppins in London in 2019 I love it

[@jjlametc]

I finally shelled out to catch Mary Poppins this week! It was indeed magical

[@brianeduardo1234]

Was that Petula Clark? What energy

[@MichaelJones-wp6mz]

Absolutely.and on the same stage she appeared aged 10 in 1942 broadcast on BBC radio and made her a star overnight

[@rb2010rb]

Gutted I missed the final show.I watched it twice, and wanted to watch it one last time, but it was sold out. Thanks for sharing this !!

[@IshScout]

The show is ingrained into my soul even though I've never seen it live because in 2018 I spent over 2 hrs watching them perform Supercali on Main Street for the Christmas Parade filming. (the performance is still up on KZbin just search) It's how I learned to spell that damn word & at the same time fall in love with it hehe. It really is just pure magic in every way I hope we eventually get another US tour so I can see it.

[@alejandroteuffer]

I was there too, very emotional performance !!! thanks for the. video

[@gregramirez2935]

Saw it twice in LA and loved it.

I was in a community production of Mary Poppins in 2015 in the Jolly Holiday & Let’s Go Fly A Kite Ensemble. Definitely one of my favorites. Love seeing these curtain call videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@bensmithson1773]

Sad to see the show end. I saw it twice at this theatre and it is a classic big-budget British musical, perfectly at home on the West End.

[@starlynnfreeman8227]

Aww so sad to see this show close! I was in a community theatre production of Mary Poppins last summer and it has become one of my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing this!! ❤️

That was so, so sad. Mary Poppins is just magical and this afternoon the magic really came together, the cast, the musicians and the audience. Btw MickeyJo I still can’t sign up even going to the Come From Away video? Help!

[@TheGadgetPanda]

I wanted to go (having seen it 5 times already it wasn't essential) but those final day prices were too rich for my blood. It was the practically perfect west end musical and it will be missed. I hope Zizi Strallen goes onto something, anything, that willl suit her even half so well.

[@0530evan]

wish they would bring the west end show to broadway for say 15 weeks........etc.......as a revival.......

Very sad start to the year for theatre kids

[@seanmcgcostumes]

You only paid 99 pounds for those seats?! That's like, only $120 here in America! $120 would DEFINITELY not get you such good seats, holy smokes. The fact that you can afford to sit so close to the stage and see shows so many times suddenly makes a lot more sense now that I realize that the West End is a LOT more affordable than Broadway.

[@mcflychase]

Yeah, us in the West End certainly have better affordability! We often have back row grand circle seats (like your Mezzanine) for £25 usually, depending on show as the cheapest ‘restricted’, so we certainly have it better yes. I’ve looked at Broadway pricing before, you have to pay minimum 100 + for a cheaper seat?? Wow!

[@hnc52]

$120 might get you a last row balcony seat at most shows. Unfortunately, if I cant afford an orchestra or front mezzanine seat, I will no longer be attending Broadway shows. The prices have gotten outrageous.

I saw the first national tour of Mary Poppins in the US and I have to say it's the WORST professional show I've ever seen. I was EXTREMELY disappointed in the performance.
