Cameron Mackintosh, Disney Theatrical Productions, and Michael Cassel are thrilled to announce that a digital ticket lottery will open today for the new production of MARY POPPINS, playing at the Sydney Lyric Theatre from May 15.

Drawn weekly, subsequent digital lotteries will begin each Friday and close the following Thursday for the upcoming week’s performances.

Australian producer Michael Cassel shared his excitement to have the lottery open for this new production of MARY POPPINS:

I often hear stories from people who fell in love with theatre by watching the original Australian production of Mary Poppins over a decade ago, so it’s fantastic that we can introduce a whole new generation to Mary’s magic. The lottery is one of a number of initiatives we have to allow as many people as possible to experience this incredible show for themselves.

NSW Minister for Tourism Stuart Ayres:

The digital ticket lottery was an excellent initiative that would provide greater opportunity for people to experience this world-class musical.

It is fantastic to see so much excitement for what promises to be a spectacular production, and the Mary Poppins digital ticket lottery will mean even more people have an opportunity to experience this timeless classic, brought to the stage like never before. The NSW Government is proud to support world-class productions like Mary Poppins, which position Sydney as a global arts and cultural destination.
