Set in Victorian England, the story follows Nanny McPhee as she uses her unique powers to instill discipline and kindness in a family of unruly children. The film was based on Christianna Brand’s "Nurse Matilda" books, and the musical continues to draw from this source material. Emma Thompson, who wrote and starred in the original film, has co-written the musical's book and lyrics with Gary Clark. The production aims to blend the film's enchanting narrative with new musical elements, offering a fresh take on the classic tale.
