New Songs and Additional Music and Lyrics by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Co-Created byCameron Mackintosh. Adapted by iTheatrics under the supervision of Timothy Allen McDonald. * *Based on one of the most popular Disney movies of all time and the Broadway musical that received multiple Tony Awards nominations, Cameron Mackintosh and Disney's Mary Poppins is capturing hearts in a whole new way: as a practically perfect musical! The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduce 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 are not the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises, "Anything can happen if you let it."* **Students MUST LIST ALL conflicts with regular rehearsals on audition form.
