The world's most famous nanny arrives in Los Angeles with Broadway's supercalifragilistic, award-winning hit "Mary Poppins." With such wonderful songs as "Chim Chim Cher-ee," "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Let's Go Fly a Kite" and, of course, "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," it's understandable why the New York Daily News hailed "Mary Poppins" as "a roof-raising, toe-tapping, high-flying extravaganza!" And Elysa Gardner of USA Today said, "‘Mary Poppins' is irresistible! You'll feel like a kid again." Starring Ashley Brown, who originated the title role on Broadway, and Gavin Lee, who originated the role of Bert in the hit Broadway and London productions.
