Why see Mary Poppins?
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Walnut Street Theatre present their brand new production of the cherished story from P.L Travers, which in turn inspired the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins features the Sherman brothers original Academy Award-winning songs, with some dazzling new additions, that fit perfectly alongside well loved standards in this imaginative tale of a magical new nanny!
With an updated book from Academy Award winner and Downton Abbey scribe Julian Fellows, this enchanting staging was originated by Disney in collaboration with legendary Les Miserables producer Cameron Mackintosh. It went on to take Broadway by storm, and played over 2,500 performances to delighted audiences.
There is so much to love about Mary Poppins and her unique brand of discipline, which immediately enchants the Banks children, who, along with Mary and her hilarious and colorful pals, including Bert the cheeky chimney sweep, learn to value themselves and show their parents what it means to be a family.

Loved Mary Poppins!
We went to see Mary Poppins on its opening night in Calgary and we loved the production! We sat in the 2nd Balcony and our seats were good enough as the sound is wonderful anywhere you sit. We especially liked "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" with the great dancing as well as "Step In Time" - again with the dancing. There was lots of humor in it, great singing and just nice to see a play from a movie you saw many years ago. There were quite a few children at the Jubilee and they must have all enjoyed it because we only heard a wee bit of chattering near the end. I would take kids to it but probably not under 5 years old as it is a long production even though it does have an intermission. There were a few changes from the movie - "I Love To Laugh" was not in there but there were a few new songs I hadn't heard and it all flowed very well. Highly recommend seeing! ... Read more
