The “practically perfect” musical is based on the classic P.L. Travers stories and the Walt Disney film.

“You are going to be blown away by the talent, hard work and excellence that these students exude. With only eight rehearsal days, these students put on a truly superior-quality show. This only can happen because the students are completely committed and have been working independently on their parts over the summer since their audition the first week of June. Then they come in ready to ‘fly’,” commented director Katrina Thomas.

With colorful characters and an irresistible score, “Mary Poppins Jr.” is sure to be a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
