ROLES AVAILABLE:<br>
Mary Poppins<br>
Jane and Michael Banks's new nanny. She is extraordinary and strange,
neat and tidy, delightfully vain yet particular, and sometimes a little
frightening but always exciting. A mezzo soprano with strong top notes,
she should be able to move well. She can have a more traditional soprano
sound, but precision and diction is the key.<br>
<br>
Bert<br>
The narrator of the story, is a good friend to Mary Poppins. An
everyman, Bert has many occupations, including hurdy-gurdy player,
sidewalk artist and chimney sweep. He has charm, speaks with a Cockney
accent and is a song-and-dance man.<br>
<br>
George Banks<br>
The father to Jane and Michael Banks, who is a banker to the very fiber
of his being. Demanding "precision and order" in his household, he is a
pipe-and-slippers man who doesn't have much to do with his children and
believes that he had the perfect upbringing by his nanny, the cruel Miss
Andrew. His emotional armor, however, conceals a sensitive soul. A
baritone.<br>
<br>
Mrs.Winifred Banks<br>
George's wife and Jane and Michael's mother. A former actress, she is
loving and distracted homemaker who is busy trying to live up to her
husband's desire to only associate with "the best people" as well as be
the model wife and mother. She suffers from the conflicting feelings
that she's not up to the job of "being Mrs. Banks," yet, she is, and
more. She has great warmth and simplicity to her tone.<br>
<br>
Jane<br>
The high-spirited daughter of Mr. and Mr. Banks, is bright and precocious but can be willful and inclined to snobbishness.<br>
<br>
Michael<br>
The cute and cheeky son of Mr. and Mrs. Banks. Excitable and naughty, he
adores his father and tries to be like him. Both he and Jane misbehave
in order to get the attention of their parents.<br>
<br>
<font face="arial" color="black" size="2">Bird Woman<br>
Covered in a patchwork of old shawls, and her pockets are stuffed with
bags of crumbs for the birds. She tries to sell her crumbs for the
birds. She tries to sell her crumbs to passersby, who ignore her as if
she doesn't exist. <br>
<br>
</font><font face="arial" color="black" size="2">Miss Andrew<br>
George's overbearing and scary nanny. With her bottle of nasty-tasting
brimstone and treacle to keep naughty children in line, she is a bully
who only knows one way of doing things - her way. <br>
