You Can Certainly Slow the Beat, But You Can't Keep the Flying Nanny Down

Staff working at the Princess theatre have been informed the show will close in late March.
The news comes as ticket sales have been struggling, with several shows this past week, including Friday night, only selling 600 tickets, or roughly at 40%.
It is understood discount tickets ate available from the Box Office, with all remaining seats for that week selling for $50.

This is contrary to the other Melbournian Mega-Musical Mary Poppins, which has been at 95% capacity. The show has had a 'Sorry House Full' sign out the front permanently since July and has regularly completely selling out. The show will close on Friday the 1st of April to transfer to Sydney's Capitol theatre. The show has been strongly rumoured to make a swift return to Melbourne.
