SHE’S ON HER WAY…

When the mysterious figure of Nanny McPhee arrives at the Browns’ door she discovers a household in chaos; anarchic children who have driven away every Nanny before her, a desperate father, a donkey that is out of control, and a baby who will stop at nothing. Armed with her strange knobbly stick, exceedingly unorthodox methods and quite a lot of magic, Nanny McPhee begins to restore harmony. And as it turns out, the children aren’t the only family members who have lessons to learn. 

It is announced today that the world premiere production, with a book by Academy Award®-winning actor and screenwriter Emma Thompson, and music by singer-songwriter Gary Clark, will open at the Aldwych Theatre in London’s West End with performances from Saturday 6 November 2027.

Based on the beloved Nanny McPhee films, and the Nurse Matilda character by Christianna Brand and Edward Ardizzone that inspired them, the new musical will bring the magical world of Nanny McPhee to the stage for the first time.

Although casting is still to be confirmed, an award-winning creative team is already at work  bringing Nanny McPhee to life on stage. The musical has a book by Academy Award®, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning actor and writer Emma Thompson, who won an Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay for Sense and Sensibility, music by singer-songwriter Gary Clark, frontman of the band Danny Wilson and composer of the music for Sing Street on stage and screen, and original lyrics by Emma Thompson and Gary Clark. 

Tickets for the highly anticipated new musical stage adaptation of Nanny McPhee, will go on sale via NannyMcPheeTheMusical.com from 12pm on Wednesday 14 October 2026.
