One of the most popular Disney movies of all time is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect 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 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 she has a profound effect on. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

 

This production will SOAR with the aid of Flying by Foy, the theatrical flying service. Mary Poppins will be an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs, breathtaking dance numbers, and astonishing stagecraft.

 

Mary Poppins will be performed on Friday, May 3rd at 7:30 PM, Saturday, May 4th at 7:30 PM, and Sunday, May 5th at 2 PM.

 

The show will be held at The Stadium Theatre, located at 28 Monument Square, Woonsocket Rhode Island.
