She’s On Her Way…
The world premiere of Nanny McPhee The Musical arrives in London in summer 2027 in a spectacular new adventure based on the beloved 2005 film: Nanny McPhee.
A world-class creative team has been assembled to bring Nanny McPhee to the stage including book by Academy Award®, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor and writer Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility, Nanny McPhee), music by singer-songwriter Gary Clark (Sing Street), with original lyrics by Emma Thompson and Gary Clark.
Directed by Katy Rudd (Ballet Shoes and The Ocean at the End of the Lane), with set and costume designs by the Tony and Olivier Award-winning Rob Howell (Matilda the Musical) and choreography by World Choreography Award-winning Ellen Kane (Paddington The Musical, Matilda the Musical), this is a story written for everyone.
"I’ve lived with Nanny McPhee for so long that to see her finally tread the boards is supremely exciting. Theatre feels like her natural home - magic, music, mischief and a good dollop of danger can all happen right in front of you.”
Emma Thompson
When the mysterious figure of Nanny McPhee arrives at the Browns’ door she discovers a household in chaos; anarchic children who have driven away every Nanny before her, a desperate father, a donkey that is out of control, and a baby who will stop at nothing. Armed with her strange knobbly stick, exceedingly unorthodox methods and quite a lot of magic, Nanny McPhee begins to restore harmony. And as it turns out, the children aren’t the only family members who have lessons to learn.
Don’t miss this enchanting new musical, opening in the West End from summer 2027. Sign up now for access to priority booking and prepare for a little magic, a lot of mischief and one remarkable nanny.
