Disney's Mary Poppins Jr
Nov 16 - Dec 23, 2018
Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm
Saturdays and Sundays at 2:00pm
Ages 3-19

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'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."

Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins JR. Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
