Verity Hunt-Ballard from Adelaide has won the most hotly contested role in Australian theatre. She will play the world’s best loved nanny in the world’s Supercalifragilistic musical, Mary Poppins, opening at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne in July.
Producer, Cameron Mackintosh said today from London “After the most exhaustive search for a performer I have undertaken in the 30 years I have been bringing my productions to Australia, I am thrilled to announce that we have finally chosen our Mary Poppins – Verity Hunt-Ballard who will star opposite Matt Lee’s Bert.”
“Verity flew from Melbourne to Amsterdam on the weekend for her final audition for the production team, where we are all preparing the Dutch production which opens in a few weeks.”
