Mary Poppins

Everyone’s favorite practically perfect nanny takes the stage in this Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical adaptation based on the stories of P. L. Travers and the Walt Disney film, with original music by Richard and Robert Sherman, book by Julian Fellowes, as well as new songs with additional music and lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. The jack-of-all trades, Bert (John Sofield), introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane (Addison Posth) and Michael (Silas Randall) have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins (Ella Smith) arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.” Sponsored by Brock, Shipe and Klenk, Colortech, Hyde Eyecare, and Threds. Rated PG.
