MARY POPPINS at the Rose Center Theater will run December 1-3 and 14-17, 2023.
The Magic of Mary Poppins Returns to Delight this Festive Season
There's a special kind of enchantment that blankets the air during the holiday season, and this year, it comes adorned with a touch of Mary Poppins magic at the Rose Center Theater. The timeless tale of the charming and enigmatic nanny, Mary Poppins, is set to grace the stage in a spectacular rendition that will transport you to a world where anything seems possible.
Based on the classic stories of P.L. Travers and the beloved Disney film, Mary Poppins tells the story of the Banks family. The practically perfect nanny, Mary Poppins, descends on their doorstep and, with a sprinkling of magic and her no-nonsense attitude, leads the family on extraordinary adventures, teaching them the true meaning of family and joy along the way.
Now, let's talk about the heart and soul of this magical production: the cast. If talent were measured in spoonfuls of sugar, this cast would overflow with sweetness.
