A Covid Update

As many of you know we have been hit hard by Covid restrictions. They have impacted us financially, and have led to the cancellation of shows. The effect this had had on our members is huge.

With the traffic light system coming into effect this week, we have made the decision to become a vaccinated building. Unfortunately, any other decision would see us unable to operate and wouldn't be a viable option. Our apologies to those of you who are choosing not to get vaccinated, we hope to see you all again very soon.

To those who are planning to visit us after 11:59 on December 2nd please

Mary Poppins Cancelled

Cancellation Notice.

Due to the current covid lockdown situation, Nelson Musical Theatre regretfully announces the cancellation of our 2021 season of Mary Poppins.

All tickets will be fully refunded via our ticketing agent.

Sometimes the wind changes and things end unexpectedly, in that case, we have to put on a brave face and spit spot onto the next thing.

We advise you all to stay home, stay safe and take a spoonful of sugar.

Until next time,
