## When will *Mary Poppins* re-open in London's West End now that theatres are beginning to re-open?
No official announcement from the production team has been released on when the show will recommence. Recently, the show's headlining star Zizi Strallen [**made headlines**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/what-the-west-end-has-to-say-about-theatre-returning-without-social-distancing) when she shared her 30th birthday wish, stating: "*If the government could give me the gift of live theatre back, and my job back as Mary Poppins, I would never need another gift for the rest of my life."*
Given how [***SIX The Musical* will be re-opening**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/west-end-six-musical-announces-socially-distanced-performances-at-lyric-theatre) for socially distanced performances at its temporary new home at the [**Lyric Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/lyric-theatre-london), it seems Strallen's wish could come true.
