It's the biggest musical currently on tour in the whole of Europe and it's coming to the north east.

Mary Poppins is bringing the magic of Disney - and the razzmatazz of a Cameron Mackintosh production - to the stage at the city's Theatre Royal.

It's the story of a magic nanny who comes to work for a cold banker's unhappy family.

The 1964 film version of the story won 5 oscars.

The show opens tonight (9th Sept) for an 8 week run - it's one of the biggest shows the venue has ever hosted.
