Mary Poppins star Verity-Hunt Ballard has injured herself. The full implications of her injury are unknown, however it is a shoulder injury and was not sustained during a specific performance. She will be taking a period of time off from the show to attempt to fully recover before the tour. It is believed a performer from the West End will be flown in to help out during this time. Once her replacement has been rehearsed, Verity will most likely not be performing in the show for the next 6 weeks.
Marina Prior is also set to leave the show on Sunday the 25th of September, with Pippa Grandison replacing her for the remainder of the Australian tour.
Edit: We have now been informed that Scarlett Strallen will be the one flown in to perform while Verity is recovering.
