A musical based on the stories of P.L. Travers and the Walt Disney film
One of the most popular stories of all time that has captured hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! When their children, Jane and Michael, become increasingly unruly, the Banks parents seek a new nanny to instill discipline. Enter Mary Poppins, a magical and whimsical woman who brings joy, fun, and a bit of mischief into their lives. With the help of her friend Bert, a charming chimney sweep, Mary teaches the children valuable life lessons through delightful adventures.
“Co-directors, Stephanie Graham and Brett Christopher have created a lively, exuberant musical with enough poignancy that squeezes the heart when you least expect it. [Alicia Barban] sings like a dream. Seeing her float above the set, umbrella aloft, is a thing of elegant beauty.” – Lynn Slotkin, The Slotkin Letter
“Stephanie and Brett deliver heartily what they promise in spades. I was a child again, and I was awed by the wonder of this story…Teddy Moynihan and Alicia Barban are charming and endearing as Bert and Mary…Powell Nobert’s Robertson Ay and Alyssa LeClair’s Mrs. Brill are a terrific Laurel and Hardyish duo.” – Joe Szekeres, Our Theatre Voice
“The show features a strong cast of characters, with Burns and Graham impressively carrying a great portion of it on their young shoulders….Moynihan has the voice of an angel, is a skilled dancer, brimming with charm, and incorporates just enough tribute to Dick Van Dyke into his portrayal of the character…The show is truly supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” – Aiden Robert Bruce, Kingston Theatre Alliance
“Incredible production! …We went to Stratford for 29 years, and your Mary Poppins was as good as anything we saw there.”– JB
“… brilliant on every level – the actors, stage design, music – ALL of it. I was overwhelmed.” – MM
“…one of the best plays we have ever seen at the playhouse. We saw Mary Poppins in New York City and believe it was also better than that one.” – G&L
Run time: 2 hours and 40 minutes (includes one intermission)
Mary Poppins is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.
