<p>It won&#8217;t be such a jolly holiday for Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke.</p>
<p>The 84-year-old stage and screen veteran was forced to pull out of his new career-retrospective musical Dick Van Dyke &#8211; Step in Time! &#8211; A Musical Memoir, after just one performance at the Geffen Playhouse in Westwood, Los Angeles.</p>
<p>The theatre&#8217;s publicist Allison Rawlings said the Emmy and Tony-winning actor had been nursing an Achilles injury for several weeks and after Wednesday night&#8217;s performance he realised he would be unable to continue with the show&#8217;s month-long run.</p>
<p>Ms Rawlings said there were no plans to reschedule the show, which reviewed Van Dyke&#8217;s half-century career.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how it happened because I never had a career plan,&#8221; Van Dyke, who is 85 on Monday, mused in an earlier interview.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had kids. And I had to work. And everything just worked out so I not only had a comfortable living, I enjoyed every minute of it &#8211; and still am. This is my retirement.&#8221;</p>
