One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical. Based on the books by P.L. Travers and the classic Walt Disney film, Disney and Cameron Mackintosh\u2019s \u201cMary Poppins\u201d delighted Broadway audiences for more than 2,500 performances and received nominations for nine Olivier and seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins 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\u2019t 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 \u201cAnything can happen if you let it.\u201d
The PHS production features Brennan Roden as Mary Poppins, Phillip Goodale as Bert, Bianka Nickelsen as Jane Banks, Onne Adams as Michael Banks, Mark Kirkpatrick as George Banks and Jordan VandeVenter as Winifred Banks.
