NEW YORK (AP) - Mary Poppins is closing up its big umbrella on Broadway.
An official close to the show's producers said on Monday that the 6-year-old musical will end performances in March at the New Amsterdam Theatre and eventually be replaced by a musical adapted from the film Aladdin.
The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak before the official announcement.
The New York Post first reported the news, citing an anonymous source. A Disney representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
