London has found its “Mary Poppins,” but first she’ll appear on Broadway in the upcoming revival of “Fiddler on the Roof.”
Laura Michelle Kelly will star as everyone’s favorite umbrella-carrying nanny when a stage version of the P.L. Travers book and the Disney-Julie Andrews movie opens Dec. 15 at the Prince Edward Theatre in London. Rehearsals begin in July.
Before playing “Poppins,” the 22-year-old Kelly will portray Hodel, the second of Tevye’s three daughters, in a production of “Fiddler” opening Feb. 26 in New York.
Kelly is a veteran of the London stage, having played Eliza Doolittle in a recent revival of “My Fair Lady” -- a role made famous by ... Julie Andrews.
