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.

It is a series of vignettes detailing the trials and tribulations of aging. The cast is comprised of 3 men and 3 women, who all play a variety of roles.

With a balanced look at the 'joys' of growing older

If there’s one thing we need to end 2020 it’s a foul-mouthed, smooth-talking, R&B-singing, man eating plant and a rocking good night out.

Nelson Musical Theatre is proud to present this iconic and cult classic musical to end their 2020 season.

Join accidental hero Seymour and the gutsy yet adorable Audrey as they fight for love, their lives and the very future of planet earth!
